Townsend Labs Sphere L22 Precision Microphone System Guide Sphere Plug-ins

Align (Sphere plug-in only)

NOTE: This parameter is labeled STEREO WIDTH in the Sphere 180 plug-in.

The plug-in’s two mic models are perfectly phase aligned by default. With physical mics, this occurs

when each diaphragm is the same distance from the source; this corresponds to setting

ALIGN to 0.

ALIGN lets you adjust the relative distance between them.

For example,

setting ALIGN to:

• 1 adjusts the relative phase as if MIC 2 is 1 cm farther from the source than MIC 1.

• -1 adjusts the relative phase as if

MIC 2 is 1 cm closer to the source than MIC 1.

NOTE: Since ALIGN adjusts the relative phase between mic models, it has no effect unless two mics

are used.

Stereo Width (Sphere 180 plug-in only)

NOTE: This parameter is labeled ALIGN in the Sphere plug-in.

This parameter lets you adjust the stereo width.

• 100%: Preserves the original stereo width of the selected mic models.

•

0%: Reduces the width to mono.

•

200%: Increases the width beyond that of the selected mic models.

Mix (Sphere plug-in only)

NOTE: This parameter is labeled PAN in the Sphere 180 plug-in.

This parameter lets you set the relative mix of MIC 1 and MIC 2.

Pan (Sphere 180 plug-in only)

NOTE: This parameter is labeled MIX in the Sphere plug-in.

This parameter lets you set the pan between MIC L and MIC R.
