About: Universal Audio Sphere DLX Modeling Microphone

Get the sounds of the greatest mics ever made.

Capture the best recordings of your life with Sphere DLX, the world’s most powerful mic modeling system that combines our flagship dual-capsule condenser with the Sphere Mic Collection plug-in to give you the sound of classic mics used by everyone from The Beatles to Beyoncé.

Record Through 38 Classic Models

With the included Sphere Mic Collection software — allowing you to instantly pull up 38 legendary mic models from Neumann, Telefunken, AKG, Sony, and more — Sphere DLX puts the world-famous sound of classic condenser, dynamic, and ribbon microphones at the ready.

Find Your Perfect Sound in Realtime

Sphere DLX is the only dual-capsule mic modeling system that lets you audition mics before, during, and after recording. You can do this with any audio interface in any DAW. But with an Apollo, you unlock realtime workflows so it all happens with immediacy and precision, and doesn’t affect your performance.

Combine Two Mics Like Never Before

In Dual Mode, the Sphere mic modeling system allows you to blend any two mics, perfectly in-phase. This means you can start with a classic-sounding mic combination, then tailor it to find sounds that have never been heard before, all while only setting up a single microphone.

Capture Instruments in Stereo

Thanks to its dual-capsule design, the Sphere DLX lets you easily record piano, drums, strings, and more in stereo. You can even use different mic models on the left and right channels for a more colorful stereo image.

Remove the Room for Clear Recordings

With Sphere DLX’s Off-Axis Correction and IsoSphere™ technology, you can easily tame room sounds and reflections for cleaner, more professional recordings. With its expert presets tailored for the toughest acoustic spaces like bedrooms or project studios, Sphere DLX comes ready to use alongside popular iso filters from sE Reflexion Filters, Aston Halo, Kaotica Eyeball, and more.
