20 legendary mic models in one microphone — at half the Sphere DLX price. The Universal Audio Sphere LX is the more accessible sibling of the flagship Sphere DLX, delivering UA's mic modeling technology with 20 of the most sought-after ribbon, condenser, and dynamic microphones ever made — from Neumann, AKG, Telefunken, Sony, RCA, and more.

At a Glance

Overview

Sphere LX uses the same dual-diaphragm modeling approach as the Sphere DLX, letting you change mic type, polar pattern, and other characteristics even after tracking, in any DAW. The included Sphere Mic Collection software gives you 20 mic models and works with or without UA hardware. Paired with an Apollo interface, you unlock realtime UAD processing for near-zero latency monitoring while tracking through any modeled mic.

Key Features

• 20 Mic Models Included — Large-diaphragm condensers, ribbons, and dynamics from Neumann, AKG, Telefunken, Sony, and more.
• Dual Gold-Sputtered Diaphragms — Same proven modeling capsule design as Sphere DLX.
• Lowest Self-Noise in Class — 10 dBA self-noise.
• IsoSphere Technology — Reduce room coloration with presets tailored for bedrooms and project studios.
• Change Polar Pattern After Tracking — Adjust pickup pattern in software, even days later.
• Realtime UAD Processing — Near-zero latency tracking through modeled mics when paired with an Apollo interface.
• Optional Expansion Packs — UAD owners can effectively upgrade to near-DLX parity by purchasing additional mic collections.

Sphere LX vs. Sphere DLX

Sphere DLX includes 38 mic models, dual-output stereo recording from a single mic, tighter front-to-back capsule matching for officially-supported stereo mode, 7 dBA self-noise, includes a shockmount, and includes a 25' dual-output XLR cable. Sphere LX includes 20 mic models, mono recording (stereo works unofficially but isn't supported), 10 dBA self-noise, standmount only (no shockmount), and a 10' cable. For most vocalists and project studios, the LX delivers the same modeling magic at a much more accessible price.

Does it need phantom power?

Yes, it requires standard +48V phantom power, which virtually every modern audio interface and mixer provides.

Can I change the microphone sound after recording?

Yes. That is the core advantage. You record once, then swap mic models, polar patterns, and proximity effect after tracking inside the included Sphere Mic Collection plug-in.
