Universal Audio Sphere LX Modelling Microphone Overview
Advanced large-diaphragm condenser microphone equipped with a variable dual-output polar pattern and mic modelling technology, giving you the sound of 20 iconic mics by legendary brands such as AKG, Sony and Neumann.
20 Iconic Mics in One
The Universal Audio Sphere LX modelling microphone delivers the sought-after sound of 20 mics, without having to spend thousands on vintage models. The mics that the UA Sphere LX authentically emulates have been used by famous artists such as Béyonce, The Beatles, Radiohead, Frank Sinatra and many more.
The Sphere LX packs an entire microphone locker of the most desirable mics out there into one. With a single mic, you can access 20 different models of condenser, dynamic and ribbon microphones. With this level of versatility, the Sphere LX may become the only one you need in your arsenal.
Ultimate Flexibility
The UA Sphere LX can transcend the capabilities of traditional microphones. Usually, once you’ve recorded with a certain microphone its sonic character is a core part of the audio. With Sphere LX, you can audition all 20 of the classic mic models before, during and after recording with your DAW and interface of choice. When combined with a Universal Audio Apollo interface, you can audition mics with near-zero latency.
Powerful Dual Mode
Sphere LX’s Dual Mode lets you blend two separate mono mics. With a Sphere LX in your arsenal, you can record a vocalist with two different microphones at once, capture a guitar amp's speaker with a classic two-mic combination, and much more - with a single microphone.

Whether you’re recording in a simple bedroom studio or a fully-treated live room, IsoSphere will help tame unwanted room colourations to ensure a clean, professional recording. IsoSphere’s expertly designed presets are tailored to a range of room spaces and popular isolation filters.

Boasting dual gold-sputtered diaphragms and an exceptionally low noise floor, there’s no doubt that the Sphere LX is a high-class, professional-grade condenser microphone. As you’d expect from a Universal Audio product, the Sphere LX is precision-built to last for many years to come. Music, podcast and voiceover recording, the Sphere LX can handle it all with ease.
