Universal Audio Apollo Solo HE and Sphere LX Modelling Microphone Bundle Overview
This bundle includes a premium Universal Audio Audio Apollo Solo Thunderbolt audio interface and innovative Sphere LX modelling microphone - everything you need to track studio-quality, professional sounding vocals, guitars, synths and more.
The Universal Audio Apollo Solo HE and Sphere LX modelling microphone bundle is an all-in-one solution for producers, singer-songwriters and engineers who want an ultra-portable and incredibly powerful way to record on the go. With the Apollo Solo HE and Sphere LX at your side, you can sound like you’re recording in a world-class recording studio with premium equipment wherever you are.
UA Apollo HE
At the core of this bundle is the UA Apollo Solo Heritage Edition audio interface. Unlike other interfaces in the Universal Audio Apollo series, the Solo features a rugged metal chassis and is bus-powered so it doesn’t require a power adaptor to run. It’s the best choice for producers and songwriters who want to access class-leading Apollo sound, detailed headphone monitoring and the sound of multiple classic mic preamps, amps and effects from API, Neve, Manley and more - anytime, anywhere.
In addition to the Apollo Solo HE audio interface, you also receive the Realtime Analog Classics and Heritage Edition software bundles so you can start recording with the sound of vintage studio gear straight away. No matter where you choose to record, Apollo Solo can give you the professional sounds of sought-after analogue hardware.
*Please note, you must own a computer with a Thunderbolt port to use this interface. A Thunderbolt cable is not included.
Sphere LX Modelling Mic
This bundle pairs the Apollo Solo interface with the precision-built Universal Sphere LX modelling microphone. This seriously versatile mic delivers the sound of 20 classic and rare microphones by AKG, Sony, Neumann and more. With one microphone, you can access the sound of an entire mic locker which would make many studio engineers’ jaws drop.
The Sphere LX allows you to audition all of its mic models, before, during and after recording for an unparalleled level of flexibility whilst tracking and mixing. Dual Mode gives you the ability to record with two microphones at once so you can emulate a two-mic setup with just one. You can either use a matched pair of the same mic or mix and match to find a unique combination. IsoSphere tames colourations in your room to ensure clean, professional-sounding recordings wherever you are.
Whilst Sphere LX can work with any interface, it excels when combined with a UA Apollo audio interface like the Apollo Solo included in this bundle. When plugged into an Apollo interface, you can audition the Sphere LX’s different mic models with near-zero latency.
