How does Sphere compare to the classic microphones we modeled? That’s perhaps the question most asked and which, of course, deserves an answer. Central to the development of Sphere were countless listening tests and comparisons, with the various vintage mics that we modeled. Over the last few weeks, in particular, we hosted several listening sessions…

Sphere will already ship with a great selection of some of the most sought after mics. Even though we're off to a good start, we have some exciting stuff already planned.
