Description

The Sphere L22™ microphone system from Townsend Labs models the characteristics of the most sought-after large-diaphragm condenser microphones with amazing accuracy, and allows selection of different mics and patterns even after tracking.

The Sphere™ system consists of a high precision dual channel microphone, which when paired with the included Sphere DSP plug-in (UAD, VST, AU, AAX Native) accurately models the response of a wide range of mics, including transient response, harmonics, proximity effect and three-dimensional polar response.

I've bought it recently on a nice discount that's literally everywhere and upgraded from Shure KSM42 SG. Connected it to a double Camden EC1 and...

First I thought it's just extremely boring and flat, completely uninteresting and transparent to an extent where it becomes weird. Then I reminded...

I’m keeping this review straightforward.

The Sphere mic + software rocks.

I use Apollo X, and as an added bonus, I have two BAE Neve channels and two TG2 channels to match the mic well.

The stock emulations provided by Townsend (native and UAD) sound fantastic, and there’s a ton of...
