Shipping & Return
The Universal Audio SP-1 microphone pair brings classic small-diaphragm condenser sound to your studio while opening new realms of stereo recording possibilities. This matched set captures every nuance of acoustic guitars, drum overheads, vocals and more with stunning clarity. Yet the SP-1's retro aesthetic and rugged build evoke the timeless vibe of vintage mics. With custom presets for UA's acclaimed Apollo interfaces, you can dial in professional tones at the turn of a knob.
Capture Immersive Stereo Imaging
As a meticulously matched pair, the SP-1 condensers offer incredibly accurate stereo imaging when positioned in an X/Y or spaced configuration. Their cardioid polar pattern and flat frequency response extending to 20kHz ensure every detail translates naturally, without phase issues. You'll be amazed at the sense of width and dimension the SP-1 pair achieves on stringed instruments, percussion, horns and live recordings.
Smooth and Present in Any Environment
The SP-1's clarity is equally impressive up close or at a distance. Its ability to handle high SPLs up to 142dB lets you record drums, amplifiers and loud sources without clipping. The smooth, natural top-end response flatters cymbal shimmer and stringed instrument overtones. Whether you're in a hushed studio or noisy live room, the SP-1 delivers polished, professional-grade sonics.
Vintage Vibe, Modern Versatility
While inspired by classic pencil condenser designs, the SP-1 was purpose-built with today's studio demands in mind. Its compact, lightweight housing is easy to position and transport. The all-metal construction ensures road-worthy durability. Retro styling touches like the satin nickel finish and diamond-pattern grille cloth exude old-school cool. Best of all, the SP-1 integrates seamlessly with UA's cutting-edge Apollo interfaces.
Get the Sounds of Legendary Mics
Thanks to the included Hemisphere modeling software, the tonal possibilities of the SP-1 are virtually limitless. This powerful plug-in emulates the unique response and character of the most famous studio pencil condenser mics from Neumann, Sony, AKG and more. You can even tweak proximity effect, axis and filtering to further shape the tone. With Hemisphere, your single SP-1 microphone gives you an entire locker's worth of iconic mic sounds at your fingertips.
With the Universal Audio SP-1 microphone pair, you're getting so much more than just another set of small condensers. Its meticulous stereo imaging, vintage vibe and presets tailored for UA's acclaimed Apollo interfaces make the SP-1 a must-have addition to any serious recording setup. Experience this premium condenser pair for yourself at your local Guitar Center.
