Build some of the world\u2019s most accurate microphone preamp emulation software and then follow with an analog-modelled microphone capable of authentically delivering the exact sound of classic microphones. It\u2019s a match made in heaven!\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">But how is it done? Some would call it magic but Universal Audio would just call it research and development sprinkled with an uncontrollable urge to give you the best recording equipment possible. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The Sphere LX and DLX Modelling Microphones feature a <strong>variable dual-output polar pattern capsule<\/strong>. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">UA have combined this with their <strong>signature analog-modelling technology<\/strong> to precisely capture your signal before running it through some clever software that changes the sound of your microphone to the most sought-after microphones in recording history. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">You\u2019ll find everything from <strong>Neumann, Telefunken, AKG, Sony, and much more<\/strong> in all configurations, including <strong>ribbon, dynamic, and condenser<\/strong>. Ever wanted to sound like Sinatra without travelling back in time? Now\u2019s your chance. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">You don\u2019t even need to worry about getting it right the first time. It wouldn\u2019t be unreasonable to think that the modelling technology only works when recording, right? Wrong. The Sphere LX and DLX microphones let you audition any of the onboard microphone models <strong>before, during, and after recording<\/strong> \u2013 with any interface! It may as well be magic. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">They both offer a <strong>Dual Mode<\/strong>, making use of the dual-output capsule, which allows you to blend the sound of two emulated mono microphones together in one performance. A traditional technique used on guitar speaker cabinets, snares, bass drums, and even vocals, this feature could be a game changer for smaller project studios with less access to a vast array of microphones. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">It\u2019s not just the microphones themselves that are impressive, the Sphere LX and Sphere DLX also come with <strong>IsoSphere<\/strong>. With this intelligent software, you can greatly reduce the room sound captured in your recording, making it easier to get professional-sounding vocal recordings in home or project studios.\u00a0 <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">All of this is presented in a microphone fit for any of the world\u2019s biggest studios.

No strangers to the world of analog hardware modelling, the Sphere LX and DLX microphones claim to let you record through some of the most sought-after microphones ever made. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"201341983\":0,\"335559739\":160,\"335559740\":259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">An interesting concept, could this venture into new recording technology replace entire microphone collections or simply give you access to even more recording options? Let\u2019s take a look at what they have to offer.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"201341983\":0,\"335559739\":160,\"335559740\":259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><hr \/><h3>Is this the only studio microphone you need?<\/h3><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-21739 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2023\/01\/Universal-Audio-Sphere-DLX-microphone-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Universal Audio Sphere DLX microphone\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/>It makes perfect sense. Build some of the world\u2019s most accurate microphone preamp emulation software and then follow with an analog-modelled microphone capable of authentically delivering the exact sound of classic microphones. It\u2019s a match made in heaven!\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"201341983\":0,\"335559739\":160,\"335559740\":259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">But how is it done? Some would call it magic but Universal Audio would just call it research and development sprinkled with an uncontrollable urge to give you the best recording equipment possible. <\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The Sphere LX and DLX Modelling Microphones feature a variable dual-output polar pattern capsule. <\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">UA have combined this with their signature analog-modelling technology to precisely capture your signal before running it through some clever software that changes the sound of your microphone to the most sought-after microphones in recording history. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"201341983\":0,\"335559739\":160,\"335559740\":259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">You\u2019ll find everything from Neumann, Telefunken, AKG, Sony, and much more in all configurations, including ribbon, dynamic, and condenser. Ever wanted to sound like Sinatra without travelling back in time? Now\u2019s your chance. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"201341983\":0,\"335559739\":160,\"335559740\":259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">You don\u2019t even need to worry about getting it right the first time. It wouldn\u2019t be unreasonable to think that the modelling technology only works when recording, right? Wrong. The Sphere LX and DLX microphones let you audition any of the onboard microphone models before, during, and after recording \u2013 with any interface! It may as well be magic. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"201341983\":0,\"335559739\":160,\"335559740\":259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">They both offer a Dual Mode, making use of the dual-output capsule, which allows you to blend the sound of two emulated mono microphones together in one performance. A traditional technique used on guitar speaker cabinets, snares, bass drums, and even vocals, this feature could be a game changer for smaller project studios with less access to a vast array of microphones. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"201341983\":0,\"335559739\":160,\"335559740\":259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">It\u2019s not just the microphones themselves that are impressive, the Sphere LX and Sphere DLX also come with IsoSphere. With this intelligent software, you can greatly reduce the room sound captured in your recording, making it easier to get professional-sounding vocal recordings in home or project studios.\u00a0 <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"201341983\":0,\"335559739\":160,\"335559740\":259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">All of this is presented in a microphone fit for any of the world\u2019s biggest studios. Dual gold-sputtered diaphragms are claimed by Universal Audio to deliver the lowest noise floor of any microphone in its class.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"201341983\":0,\"335559739\":160,\"335559740\":259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><hr \/><h3>What are the differences?<\/h3><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-21746 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2023\/01\/Universal-Audio-Sphere-LX-microphone-package-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Universal Audio Sphere LX microphone package\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/>So why are there two different microphones if both are modelling microphones? Because two is better than one, of course. We kid. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"201341983\":0,\"335559739\":160,\"335559740\":259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">That said, there are some differences between the Sphere LX and DLX Modelling Microphones that you should know as they could help you to find which microphone is more suited to you and your production needs.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"201341983\":0,\"335559739\":160,\"335559740\":259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h4>Number of modelled microphones<\/h4><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">While the Sphere LX microphone offers <\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">20<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, the Sphere DLX offers <\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">38<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> unique microphone models. <\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In both cases, you still have access to every configuration and type of microphone (ribbon, condenser, dynamic), meaning you can find the right style of microphone to suit any instrument that comes into your studio. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"201341983\":0,\"335559739\":160,\"335559740\":259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h4>Capsule type<\/h4><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The key difference here is the Sphere LX is <\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">mono<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> and the Sphere DLX is <\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">stereo<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">. DLX is built with a dual-capsule design for stereo recordings in a single microphone. <\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The advantage of the stereo capsule is that the Sphere DLX lets you use two different microphone models on left and right channels for a colourful stereo image. <\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Of course, Dual Mono mode is a perfectly suitable solution to blend two sounds simultaneously summed to one channel.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"201341983\":0,\"335559739\":160,\"335559740\":259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h4>What\u2019s included<\/h4><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Perhaps a small detail given what these microphones offer but one to consider nonetheless, the Sphere LX includes a <\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">10\" cable<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, <\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">microphone<\/span><\/b> <b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">stand mount,<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> and <\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">carrying case<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> whereas the Sphere DLX comes with a longer <strong>25\" cable<\/strong> and an additional <\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">shock mount<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">. There's nothing to worry about if you have a collection of essential microphone accessories!<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"201341983\":0,\"335559739\":160,\"335559740\":259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><hr \/><h3>Final thoughts<\/h3><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Interested? I certainly am. This is a fascinating release and one I'd love to test out. Knowing the reputation and existing product line of Universal Audio, these new microphones should be nothing less than spectacular. There are so many reasons to be intrigued - something you might not expect at first when you read 'modelling microphone'. <\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Perhaps you own a genuine vintage microphone but would love nothing more than to record it in stereo. As long as the LX or DLX carries an emulation of it, you can now record in stereo, without having to fork out for the eyewatering prices (again...). Anyone with an interest in recording should pay close attention to these mics and how they sound in action to see how they could benefit you!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>","_et_gb_content_width":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[260,121],"tags":[188,554,104,592],"class_list":["post-21729","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-studio-new-releases","category-studio-production","tag-microphones","tag-new-launch","tag-studio-production","tag-universal-audio"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>The New Universal Audio Sphere LX and DLX<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Are these the only microphones you need?
