Universal Audio Sphere DLX Modeling Microphone

The construction of the Sphere Microphone is top quality. Without the modelling software the Sphere sounds neutral and clean. Some may say boring...
You can use the microphone with the Apollo Unison stereo pre-amp or with any other outboard stereo pre-amp. The cleaner your preamp settings - the more you will hear the modelling differences once the plugins are switched on. To me, the best way to use the Sphere is to record vocals/instruments without the modelling plugins.
Record clean and then go through all the available microphone models at a later stage.
For vocals it is great to listen to the raw mix of your song and switch through the different mic models. You may end up with a SM57 for the verse vocals and U47 vor the chorus etc vocals. ...
Do the models sound like the originals? To my ears some models come very close to the originals. I hardly could tell the difference between my U67 Reissue and the U67 Sphere...
This is a convincing technology/product with a great future ahead.
Easy to carry around, great sounding and flexible.
