The Sphere plug-in gives you access to 38 of the most prized ribbon, condenser, and dynamic microphones ever made.

Get the sound of a classic 47 (with VF14 tube), 67, M49, C12, and 800 to name a few.

The Sphere 180 DLX plug-in (free download available separately) allows the user to change the mic type and polar pattern even after tracking.

Pairing the software with the Apollo audio interface greatly simplifies the process of matching the two mic-preamps required for the plug-in to work.

Adjustable Proximity Effect: eliminates the need to move a microphone solely because of too little or too much bass due to proximity effect—great for punching in a vocal where distance from the mic varies from take to take.

Off-Axis Correction: create more accurate polar patterns to reduce bleed, room coloration, and susceptibility to feedback before or after tracking.

Sphere supports a wide range of plug-in formats, including UAD, AAX DSP, AAX Native, VST2, VST3, and Audio Units on Mac and Windows.

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.

Plus, you can blend the sound of two mono Sphere DLX mics using Dual Mode, and get classic-sounding mic recipes on snare drums and guitar cabs.

• Omni, Sub-Omni
• Wide-Cardioid, Subcardioid, Cardioid
• Supercardioid, Hypercardioid
• Sub-8, Figure-8

With Universal Audio Apollo interfaces (available separately), you can achieve extremely low latency (approx. 1.6ms round trip at 96 kHz) for seamless real-time performance.

The AAX DSP format allows for low-latency performance on Avid HDX systems.

The IsoSphere function in the Sphere 180 DLX plug-in optimizes how the Sphere DLX microphone works together with commonly available isolation devices—such as the sE Reflexion Filters, Aston Halo, Kaotica Eyeball, and even vocal booths.

IsoSphere enhances off-axis behavior for maximum rejection and modifies frequency response to compensate for unwanted coloration, leading to even better-sounding recordings.

With dual, gold-sputtered diaphragms, the Sphere DLX outfits your studio with a premium, large-diaphragm condenser microphone, precision-built to deliver years of inspiration for your recordings and music productions.
