Universal Audio SD-3 Dynamic Microphone with Hemisphere Modeling

Record Through Five Workhorse Mics
SD - 3 is powered by the same mic modeling technology found in Universal Audio’s award-winning UA Sphere microphones. Wi th the included Hemisphere Mic Collection, it’s the only dynamic modeling mic that gives you the authentic sound of famous dynamics from Shure, Sennheiser, and A udix .*

A Modeling Mic That Works for You
SD- 3 and the included Hemisphere Mic Collection plug - in work with or without UA hardware, and go way beyond subtle EQ curves to give you precise control over filter, proximity, and axis — an industry first. Just set up SD-3 and use the plug - in to find that “sweet spot” for a guitar cab, or tame harsh frequencies on a snare or tom drum.

Easily Capture Your Best Sounds

Whether it's your bedroom, project, or pro studio — or even the stage — SD - 3’s ultra - high SPL t olerance and exceptional isolation give you iconic "sit - in - the - mix" sounds heard on countless hits. Plus, its compact size lets you zone in for perfect mic placement in tight spaces.

Add a Pro Mic with Vintage Style
With all - metal construction, retro fit and finish, and hand - selected capsules, the SD - 3 stands apart from other "workhorse dynamics" — giving you a trusted partner, perfect for capturing nearly any source.

DN - 57
Introduced in 1965, the ubiquitous “57” is very likely the best selling microphone of all time. It can be a particularly good option when blended with other mics, such as ribbons and large diaphragm condensers, to achieve a more balanced sound. The DN- 57 i s based on a recent production model.

DN - 545
A predecessor to the mighty 57, this model employed the Unidyne III capsule. It was used extensively on The Beach Boys Pet Sounds , including Brian Wilson's lead vocal, and countless other recordings of that era.**

DN - 604
The DN - 604 model is based on a current production European - made 604, which has become a standard on stages and studios around the world. This compact clip - on mic has a variety of uses, most notably snare and tom drums.

DN - 409U
The 409 shines on many sources, but is particularly well- suited to electric guitar amps. It has a smooth top, and its low - end response below 100 Hz can help instruments and vocals sit nicely in the mix.

DN - 4
The DN - 4 is based on a modern compact instrument mic that wor ks great on toms, but is equally at home on guitar cabinets and snare drums. Universal Audio included a three - position filter to allow you to further sculpt the sound.
