Universal Audio Inc. (UA), a worldwide leader in audio production tools including Apollo and Volt audio interfaces, UAD plug-ins, UA mics, and UAFX guitar products, is proud to announce that the UA Sphere DLX and Sphere LX microphones are now shipping worldwide.
UA Sphere mics allow users to change mic type, polar pattern, and other characteristics even after tracking. Each UA Sphere condenser features models of classic mics from Neumann, Telefunken, AKG, Sony, and more, with Dual Mode for blended mic combinations, Realtime UAD Processing for low-latency recording with Apollo interfaces, and included presets for getting pro sound quickly.
Alongside the launch of the Standard Series and UA Bock microphones, UA also brought on modeling guru Chris Townsend to align UA’s market‑leading UAD plug‑in platform with a world‑class line of digital modeling microphones.
“With our expertise in analog modeling for our UAD plug-in platform and Chris’ pedigree in capturing the sound of sought-after vintage studio mics, we knew we were on to something special… With the addition of new UA Sphere models to our mic line, we can inspire even more creators with the legendary sound.” – Bill Putnam Jr., CEO/Founder of Universal Audi
