Great plugin
This plugin is almost magical, the variety of mics that all sounds great with features like polar pattens and axis adjustments are just awesome.

Maybe a new standard was born
This plugin cannot be reviewed without Sphere L22 microphone separately. I have got this mic system as a promotional gift to my Apollo X6 converter, and as I was not interested especially and did not know what to think about, the mic stayed in its box for more than a month. But once when I had enough time to make some test recordings, the results were unbelievebly good way over my expectations. The ability to set proximity and angle of sound source after recording sounds a snake oil, but these are rather subtle and very useful sound design or de-essing tools without artifacts.
Good acoustic room treatment is important of course, but I have tried it in a small, slightly bad room and found more robust against imperfections like my U67.
Oh, and just another thing: L22 itself is a very good, balanced, not harsh mic, the plugin only makes it even better. Forget big brands' overpriced consumer line mics (you know what I mean), this system gives a lot more for your money.

TOWNSEND LAB L22 first look
WOW! It is only just incredible! Thank You So Much. UAD.
So here’s all I did; my familiar daw is cubase and it’s coming in handy when testing items. Following the instructions on Townsend Lab quick start page doing what was instructed, I got audio in my phones. Set a level, added a familiar friend called FabFilterR. Then scrolled through to find the room sound I liked, then scrolled and scrolled through the L22 software until I discovered I was mesmerized and getting worse! (hahaaa) So I had to stop and place a review and get some hot tea.

Amazing emulations
So i have the vms mic emulations from slate and not to bad mouth them they are great but this townsend mic with the emulations are on another level it sucks that you need 2 preamps to run this mic but if you have 2 good mic pres you’re golden for any voice style /instruments very good job on this one

I would definitely buy it again
The townsend labs sphere plugin combined with the Sphere l22 microphone is a very good way to get the sound of legendary microphones and start setting up a studio with a large arsenal of mics at your disposal.

Solid mic with additional benefits
This is a really nice mic, though I have never had anything quite in this price range, so I can’t compare it to anything else. The mic’s own sound is really nice, and later in mixing stage you can still tweak the sound conciderably according to your needs. Perfect if your like me and don’t have many mics to choose from. Only 4 stars because I can’t compare it to anything else, it’s my only mic at the moment.

Amazing. Just amazing
I haven't got to use the mic alot as of yet. But the few times I have used it I felt like I was using such a good mic for what the situation is. My only complaint is there is so many options you will get stuck just messing with the apps different mic emulations and such. The mic does so much for the price and it does all of it well. I wont lie and say I have heard all these mics. But I have heard some and the townsend does a solid job emulating. But thats the whole thing dont buy this mic cause of the mic it emulates. Buy this mic because it has so many great options and tweaks that you are pretty much limitless to what you can do. Rap vocal got it stereo guitar. Got it. Silky smooth vocals. They are there. Don't follow the hype of emulation. Just know that this mic for 1500 dollars. Is a steal and a half. I promise you won't have buyers remorse as long as you take your time to learn how to use it. What it offers and take the time to learn and use this mic right and you will have superb sounds. I swear that .The sound of the mic by itself is clear and bright. The mic has a weight to it that makes it feel premium. It looks premium. The case it comes with is solid. This mic is really great especially if you have a small budget. That's the only negative I have about the mic. I cannot afford any of the plugins. None of the other mic emulations nor any of the unison preamps or anything. Which is sad. I understand uad makes quality stuff. But I cant afford to enjoy much of it. I feel blessed with what I have.

Impressive all round mic
It’s a real pleasure to set this mic with the plugin and record a voice over for instance.
The simulations allow you to get to the sound that fits in seconds. The possibility to handle the proximity effect, off axis parameter... is also a great thing.

Absolutely amazing stuff. Always running the c800 emulation. Just sounding so clean
S. El Hammami
Not a gadget
This microphone thanks to this plugin is amazing. It is not just a plugin that does signal treatement on mono wave file. The microphone is recording in stereo and thanks to this additionnal info based on stereo signal the plugin recreate the warmness of famous listed microphones.
G. Gaia
I am more than happy.
This mic opens up doors to make vocal performances shine though the mix. This mic makes me want to become a better producer. I only wish I would have gotten it sooner. What a amazing deal.
M. Gonzalez
Great sounding microphone even when not using the additional models
Worth every penny and very forgiving in poorly treated hotel rooms.

Finally found 'my' microphone
The Sphere L22 is a great mic unto itself but the emulation software makes it so much more. After careful consideration I also purchased the Bill Putnam Collection just on the strength of the "Sinatra" U47 alone. Very happy with this rig in my home project studio.
