Instant Album Ready Sound

Whether you set them up as a spaced pair or in a tight X/Y pattern, you’ll experience a new level of detail that you’ve never heard before in your instruments.

Record At Any Volume

With the SP-1 mics, UA opted for a classic cardioid polar pattern and a high SPL tolerance. This particular pattern is adept at rejecting off-axis sounds and room noise. Whether you’re recording drum overheads, percussion, piano, horns or acoustic guitar, you can count on consistent and clean capture of your audio sources in any environment, at any volume.

Solid, Stylish Design

In addition to their excellent sonic performance, the SP-1 pair also sport an elegant, vintage-inspired look that’ll lend an air of sophistication to any studio session and rugged road-worthy build quality that guarantees years of reliable use. These microphones are primed to become your first choice for stereo recording.

Apollo Presets

Apollo interface owners can enjoy an extra level of convenience thanks to a selection of custom presets. These presets make it a lot easier to get a professional sound, simply select the preset that matches the name of what you’re recording and you’ll have the perfect EQ, preamp and compression settings for that source.

Essential Accessories

As well as the SP-1 matched pair mics themselves, Universal Audio also include a host of essential accessories and a travel case for safe storage. With two mic stand mounts, two foam windscreens, and two 5/8-inch to 3/8-inch thread adapters included you can start recording like a pro right out of the box. The stereo T-bar mount allows you to mount both microphones on a single stand.

The Universal Audio SP-1 pencil microphone pack is ideal if you want a keenly priced way to record pristine, album-quality stereo audio.
