Universal Audio Sphere LX Modeling Microphone Overview

The Universal Audio Sphere LX Modeling Microphone combines a large-diaphragm condenser microphone with the Sphere LX plug-in to accurately model 20 of the most sought-after vintage microphones, including Neumann, Telefunken, AKG, and more. Auditioning and switching between mics during a session can be tedious, but thanks to the plug-in, you can change mic type, polar pattern, reduce bleed, room coloration, and even adjust the proximity effect either during or after tracking vocals, acoustic and electric guitars, stringed and wind instruments, percussion, room sound, and more.

The Best Money Can Buy

The Sphere LX is a dual-capsule microphone with dual outputs, custom-designed to capture the three-dimensional soundfield with exacting detail—including the directional and distance information otherwise lost with a conventional single-channel microphone. Remarkably rugged, the mic can handle in excess of 145 dB SPL before clipping and won’t be damaged by high SPLs or air blasts as some vintage microphones can be.

Grab the Keys to the Ultimate Mic Locker

  • The Sphere plug-in gives you access to 20 of the most prized ribbon, condenser, and dynamic microphones ever made.
  • Get the sound of a classic 47 (with VF14 tube), 67, M49, C12, and 800 to name a few.

Sphere LX Mic-Modeling Plug-In Optimized for the Apollo

  • The Sphere LX plug-in (free download available separately) allows the user to change the mic type and polar pattern even after tracking.
  • Pairing the software with the Apollo audio interface greatly simplifies the process of matching the two mic-preamps required for the plug-in to work.
  • Adjustable proximity effect: eliminates the need to move a microphone solely because of too little or too much bass due to proximity effect—great for punching in a vocal where distance from the mic varies from take to take.
  • Off-axis correction: create more accurate polar patterns to reduce bleed, room coloration, and susceptibility to feedback before or after tracking.
  • Sphere supports a wide range of plug-in formats, including UAD, AAX DSP, AAX Native, VST2, VST3, and Audio Units on Mac and Windows.

Use Dual Mode for Classic Mic Pairings

  • Blend the sound of two mono mics with Sphere LX’s Dual Mode and get rich-sounding mic combinations on snare drums and guitar cabs.

Polar-Pattern Modeling

The Polar control lets you adjust the pickup pattern of the mic model, with the additional advantage of being able to select intermediate polar patterns that the original mic did not have. For microphones with a single pattern, the pattern control is fixed to that pattern.

Available patterns:

  • Omni, Sub-Omni
  • Wide-Cardioid, Subcardioid, Cardioid
  • Supercardioid, Hypercardioid
  • Sub-8, Figure-8
