SP-1

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

Record Through Five Famous Pencil Mics
SP-1s are powered by the same mic modeling technology found in our award-winning UA Sphere microphones. With the included Hemisphere Mic Collection software, 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 software 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.

Your Go-To for Stereo Recording
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.
