Townsend Labs, the creators of the Sphere 3D mic modelling system, are inviting people to try the Sphere plug-in for free. 

Users can try a pre-release version of the Sphere plug-in along with pre-recorded tracks created with the Sphere 3D microphone and hear incredibly authentic emulations of vintage microphones. 

An instant crowdfunding success story.
 
The Sphere L22 microphone, unveiled by Townsend Labs as their debut product, launched this week with a phenomenally successful international crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo, raising over $100,000 (250% of its target) in 24 hours. Support is coming from across the globe including Australia, New Zealand, Sweden, Norway, Germany, Poland, the UK and the US.
 
The high-precision, side-address, large-diaphragm condenser microphone has right away proved its appeal to the market.
