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.

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.

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.

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.

One Mic To Rule Them All

It was a myth to me at 1st.
But after years of reading the reviews from earlier adopters.. it became obvious about what I've been missing.

The L22 Sphere is probably the one mic to rule them all. It have now become 'my precious' - which sits in the middle of the studio as the daily grail.

I own an actual 416 and 87ai... and after using and comparing this to the mics I own, I learnt the hard way, that I didn't need to burn a hole in my wallet with those previous purchase. In fact I'm ready to surrender some of my mic collection and just stick to this one L22 and probably get another.

Listening is Believing!

Really wonderful mic

The mic itself is very nice quality. Great quality case and accessories too. The mic emulations are fantastic. It sounds really expensive. Super flexible, and the ability to monitor the mic emulations through UAD Console is inspiring.
I am not stranger to mic modelling, and this is a great solution. The polar pattern options go way beyond what is possible with the real mics as well. It's a really well thought out system, sounds great, and pairs really nicely with Apollo interfaces.

Unbelievable toolkit for any studio.

L22 Sphere and it's mic collection libraries from Townsend Labs is heaven sent. Easy to create your personal vintage mic presets with the app.
