Product Details
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.

SD-54
This classic small-diaphragm condenser features a thin nickel diaphragm, delivering clear mids and open top end. It is a go-to in pro studios and has been used to record such greats as Larry Carlton, Ry Cooder, Yo Yo Ma, Joe Pass, Kenny Burrel, and Eric Clapton.**
SD-56
A side-address condenser featuring a dual nickel diaphragm in cardioid mode, coupled with the legendary AC701 tube. Its silky top end and pillowy lows are useful on anything from guitars and grand piano to vocals.
SD-84
This modern cardioid condenser is prized for its detailed top end. It can be found in studios and stages around the globe, and has been used by artists such as Anderson Paak, Mac DeMarco, and Johnny Marr.**
SD-86
