Universal Audio SP1 Standard Pencil Mic for Home & Studio Recordists (Pair)

Universal Audio’s SP-1 small diaphragm condenser pair features a cardioid polar pattern, Apollo Channel Strip Presets for instant pro sound, and included accessories.

With the SP-1 small-diaphragm condenser pair, you can record acoustic instruments, drums and percussion, and live performances in stereo, with pristine fidelity for instant album-quality sound.

As a matched stereo pair, the SP-1 adds clarity, width, and dimension to your recordings. Whether it’s tight X/Y patterns or spaced pairs, combine them how you want and hear the detail in your instrument like never before.

The SP-1’s classic cardioid design, high SPL tolerance, and smooth, clear top-end deliver consistently clean capture of acoustic guitars, drum overheads, percussion, horns, and more — at any volume, in any environment.

We engineered the SP-1 pair to be your workhorse, everyday choice for stereo recording. With a retro finish and road-worthy build, these stylish condensers are a serious studio upgrade, with vintage elegance for days.

Take the guesswork out of getting professional sounds with custom Apollo SP-1 presets. Get the perfect EQ settings for adding shimmer to cymbals, or bolster horns and stringed instrument recordings with rich stereo sound.
