Universal Audio’s SP-1 small-diaphragm condenser pair features a cardioid polar pattern, Hemisphere mic modeling, and included accessories.
With the SP-1 Standard Pencil Microphone Pair and Hemisphere mic modeling software, you can record acoustic instruments, drums and percussion, and live performances in stereo, with pristine fidelity for instant album-quality sound.
As a matched stereo pair, the SP-1 adds clarity, width, and dimension to your recordings. Whether it’s tight X/Y patterns or spaced pairs, combine them how you want and hear the detail in your instrument like never before.
Using the same award-winning tech as the UA Sphere modeling microphones, the free Hemisphere mic modeling plug-in gives you the authentic sound of iconic mics from AKG and Neumann — in realtime with Apollo or natively in your DAW.* You can also shape the sound of your recordings using filter, proximity effect, and axis controls — even after tracking.
The SP-1’s classic cardioid design, high SPL tolerance, and smooth, clear top-end deliver consistently clean capture of acoustic guitars, drum overheads, percussion, horns, and more — at any volume, in any environment.
UA has engineered the SP-1 pair to be your workhorse, everyday choice for stereo recording. With a retro finish and road-worthy build, these stylish condensers are a serious studio upgrade, with vintage elegance for days.
Hemisphere plug-in is available upon product registration. Hemisphere for UAD and Apollo Realtime available early November 2023. All trademarks are property of their respective owners and used only to represent the microphones and sound treatment modeled as part of the Hemisphere software.
