Universal Audio SP-1 Standard Pencil Microphone Pair

Capture the details with impossible precision.
Record instruments and live performances in stereo with pristine fidelity using Universal Audio’s SP-1 pair, a classic small-diaphragm condenser set featuring best-in-class Hemisphere mic modeling —giving you the authentic sound of famous studio microphones for stage or studio.

Record Through Five Famous Pencil Mics
SP-1s are powered by the same mic modeling technology found in Universal Audio’s award-winning UA Sphere microphones. With the included Hemisphere Mic Collection, it’s the only stereo mic set that gives you the authentic sound of five iconic small-diaphragm condensers from AKG and Neumann.

Modeling Mics That Work for You
The SP-1 pair and included Hemisphere Mic Collection plug-in work with or without UA hardware, and go way beyond subtle EQ curves to give you precise control over filter, proximity, and axis —an industry first. Just set them up in front of your source and use the plug-in to find that “sweet spot” for an acoustic guitar or piano, or tame harsh frequencies on drum overheads and more.

Capture Your Best Sounds, Anywhere
SP-1s feature a classic cardioid design, high SPL tolerance, and smooth, clear top-end —delivering consistently clean capture of acoustic guitars, drum overheads, percussion, horns, and more in any environment.

A Rugged, Dependable Pair
Engineered to be your everyday choice for stereo recording, SP-1s feature a retro finish and road-worthy build. They’re equally at home on the stage or in the studio, andpack vintage elegance for days.
