The high-resolution, dual-channel L22 large-diaphragm condenser microphone captures crystal-clear recordings, while the included Sphere plug-in lets you change mic type, polar pattern, placement and more, before ad after tracking. With the current 1.4 version of Sphere users have access to over 30 individual models. Version 1.4 of the Sphere plug-in is available in all major native plug-in formats, as well as Universal Audio’s UAD-2\/Apollo and Avid’s AAX DSP platforms.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eIDENTICAL EMULATIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe Sphere L22 is a precision dual-capsule microphone that utilizes groundbreaking three-dimensional modeling technology to accurately recreate the exact character of countless classic microphones—down the proximity effect and off-axis frequency response.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike traditional modeling microphones that simply apply EQ to emulate other microphones, the Sphere L22 uses two channels to completely capture the entire soundfield. By utilizing two channels, the Sphere L22 is able to capture stereo recordings with stunning depth. Simply rotate the Sphere L22 90-degrees and capture separate channels from each capsule. You can even use different mic models on the left and right channels using the Sphere 180 plug-in.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eSPHERE L22 MICROPHONE\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eNot only is the Sphere L22 able to capture the sound of classic microphones—it actually improves them. With a self-noise level of just 7 dB-A SPL, Sphere L22 is whisper-quiet in comparison to most vintage mics. And with a maximum SPL of 140 dB, you can place Sphere L22 inside kick drums, against the grill of guitar amps and more without worrying about damaging the capsule. Plus, Sphere L22 has a rugged, durable frame that stands up to the most demanding studio sessions so you don’t have to worry about accidentally destroying a vintage ribbon.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eSPHERE PLUG-IN\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe Sphere L22 Microphone system works with any interface with at least two inputs.

This allows the Sphere system to precisely reconstruct how different microphones respond to the soundfield. In contrast, other microphone modeling technologies apply EQ to filter the sound from what is essentially a conventional microphone.

The N-version is based on a classic beige 421 from the 1960s and has a slightly warmer sound than the 421B, which is based on a current production black 421 and faithfully captures its slightly brighter character. The 421S is the oldest version of the three, with a script logo and a more colored sound.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eDN-12A and DN-12E (\u003cstrong\u003eNew in version 1.4\u003c\/strong\u003e): based on Austrian dynamic microphones - a go-to choice for kick drum and bass instruments.

The DN-12E is based on a later version with a slightly more \"modern\" sound.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eSD-416 (\u003cstrong\u003eNew in version 1.4\u003c\/strong\u003e): based on an industry-standard shotgun microphone, commonly used in the studio for voice-over and ADR duties.

Rumor has it that Frank Sinatra would not sing without his. The specimen Townsend modeled is an original 47 with a fully brass K47 capsule with a mylar diaphragm and a VF-14 tube.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eLD-12: Released in 1953 the C12 is another iconic mic which has a gorgeous high-end sheen and sparkle, due to the uniquely designed CK12 capsule. It's a great choice for lush, breathy vocals, without overly accentuating sibilance.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eLD-67: The 67 is a very unique and wonderful mic that tends toward warm, yet without sounding dull. Townsend modeled a mid 1960s version. It really shines on distorted guitar amps where it can cut some of harshness, while maintaining detail.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eLD-49K: Although the M49 used the same capsules as the U47, it has a number of “enhancements” which give it its iconic and distinctive sound. The center position on the pattern knob is approximately cardioid, but often the pattern was dialed in a little more exactly to get the best cardioid pattern possible. The model uses this “best” cardioid position.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eSphere Linear: The Sphere Linear model provides ruler flat frequency response from 20 Hz to 20 kHz, as well as an extremely smooth and well controlled off-axis response.
