Universal Audio SC-1 Standard Condenser w/ Hemisphere Mic Modelling

Capture Studio-Ready Sound with the SC-1 and Hemisphere Mic Modeling

The SC-1 condenser microphone, paired with UA’s Hemisphere mic modeling software, lets you record vocals and instruments with the rich character and tone of the most iconic studio mics ever made — all in a single, professional-grade mic.

With its classic condenser sound and high SPL handling, the SC-1 is built for everything from vocals and acoustic guitar to strings and even cranked guitar amps. Its ultra-linear circuitry and wide dynamic range deliver clean, distortion-free audio across the full frequency spectrum — ensuring smooth, reliable results every time.

Powered by the same award-winning technology behind UA’s Sphere microphones, the included Hemisphere mic modeling plug-in puts a curated collection of legendary condenser mic sounds at your fingertips — from Neumann, Sony, AKG, and more. Use it in real time with Apollo interfaces, or natively within your DAW.* You can even fine-tune your recordings after the fact with powerful proximity, filter, and axis controls.

With its sleek design and rugged construction, the SC-1 is built to deliver decades of professional performance — no matter what you throw at it.
