Flagship UA Bock Recording mics landing soon alongside Sphere Digital Modelling mic; and Standard Series mics for content creators
16 February 2022
Befitting a company with roots in both analog and digital audio recording, UA microphones include world-class UA Bock tube microphones handmade in Santa Cruz, California; the award-winning Sphere L22 Modeling Microphone with its ability to accurately emulate 34 classic studio mics; and new Standard Series microphones designed for home recordists, serious podcasters and content creators.
The new flagship UA Bock mics represent a trio of premium tube and FET-based models designed by vintage mic authority David Bock, who joined the UA team with the purchase of his Bock Audio brand in 2020.
The Standard Series mics feature two proven designs: the SD-1 Dynamic mic for vocal and broadcast / podcast applications, and the SP-1 Pencil Condenser mics for stereo recording of instruments and live performances.
On the digital side, with the technology acquisition of Townsend Labs Inc. in 2021, UA is excited to welcome proprietary Sphere Modeling Microphone technology and modelling guru Chris Townsend to the UA team — aligning with UA’s market-leading UAD audio plug-in platform.
All UA Microphones include presets designed to deliver album and broadcast-ready sound with the company’s award-winning Apollo audio interface range.
UA microphones will land in Australia mid 2022.
