As a matched stereo pair, SP‑1s can add clarity, width, and dimension, whether it’s tight X/Y patterns or spaced pairs, these will be your go-to match pairs.

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.

On the exterior, they feature a retro finish and road‑worthy build, as these stylish condensers are a serious studio upgrade, boasting vintage elegance for days.

Furthermore, Universal Audio said you can “take the guesswork out of getting professional sounds with Apollo’s custom SP‑1 mic presets. 

“Get the perfect preamp, EQ, and compression settings for adding shimmer to cymbals, or bolstering horns and stringed instruments with rich stereo sound.”
