Tap into the sound of the greatest mics ever created with the Sphere LX. With 20 seminal microphone models to browse through; the Sphere LX is a full microphone locker in a single unit. Employing cutting-edge mic modeling technology, Universal Audio has managed to faithfully recreate the sound of the most legendary microphones ever made. Spanning everything from classic ribbon microphones to iconic dynamic mics; the Sphere LX has something for everyone. Recreate the sound of revered artists such as The Beatles and Radiohead using the variety of mic models on offer.
One of the most unique and sought-after features of the Sphere LX is the ability to audition mic models before or after recording. You can audition the various models when recording with your chosen interface so you can find the right sound for you. You can also switch between mic types, polar patterns and other tonal characteristics even after you're done recording. This allows you to hear the effect that differing mic models have on your performance and make an informed decision when it comes to mixing and mastering.
For more dynamic sources such as guitar cabinets or drums; it’s a good idea to use multiple microphones to recreate the tone and power of your sound source. Using 'Dual Mode' you can blend the sound of the two mono microphones to get rich-sound mic combinations. The microphone itself features a dual-output design with gold-sputtered diaphragms resulting in ultra-low-noise performance (best in its class). From recording vocals/instruments to voiceover work and podcasting; the Sphere LX is the ultimate microphone for versatility.
A great tool for home/studio recording; IsoSphere provides a wide variety of pro-grade presets designed for room correction and attenuation to achieve the cleanest possible results. When recording at home, many artists/engineers will use some form of an isolation filter attached to the mic stand. IsoSphere optimises how the Sphere LX works with your setup by reducing reflections and background noise by modifying the frequency response to compensate for unwanted colouration.
Employing years of expertise, research and development in the audio world; Universal Audio has utilised the finest components when creating the Sphere LX to ensure the best possible audio performance. The sleek and stylish design features a built-in metal grille that protects the internal components including the capsule. The LX microphone also comes complete with premium-grade accessories, providing everything you need to get recording straight out of the box including a 10-foot cable, a robust carrying case and a mic stand mount.
