The Universal Audio SP-1 Pencil Microphones are a pair of small-diaphragm cardioid condenser microphones for stereo instrument recording featuring Hemisphere mic modeling technology and included accessories.
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, and pack vintage elegance for days.
Hemisphere Mic Modeling - Authentic Mic Modeling Made Simple
Universal Audio's new microphone modeling plugin, Hemisphere Mic Modeling is now available for free to anyone that owns a Universal Audio Standard Series microphone! The download will be free upon registration of your microphone. Since the SP-1 microphones are a neutral microphone for its type, they are a perfect blank canvas for microphone modeling so that you can audition and select between several models of famous studio microphones. With Hemisphere mic modeling, you'll be able to capture album-ready vocals and instruments with great character and musicality. The Hemisphere plugin allows you to shape the sound of your recordings using filters, proximity, and axis controls - even after tracking!
