Universal Audio SD-3 Dynamic Microphone with Hemisphere Modeling for Drums

Classic microphone sound to the power of five! Get five go-to studio microphones in one with the Universal Audio SD-3 dynamic modeling mic. UA's modeling technology paired with their Hemisphere Mic Collection software gives you the sound of Shure, Sennheiser, and Audix in one elegant package that looks as cool as it sounds. Put a 57 or a 409 on a guitar cab, capture toms and snares with the 604. The possibilities are endless and the sound is dead on. The mic's fine-tuned cardioid pattern and high SPL tolerance capture the source with natural isolation and no distortion translating the true character of the instrument and the performance. The included Hemisphere Mic Collection software provides control over the filter, proximity, and axis so you can sculpt the ideal sound for the application. How authentic do you want the proximity effect to be? Quickly audition multiple mic angles or maybe add a little presence? It's up to you. In your living room, project studio, or on stage, the SD-3's compact footprint yields ideal placement in tight spaces. No more playing around the mics or settling for close enough. The SD-3 captures "sit-in-the-mix" tracks that put the performance front and center. Why settle for one great mic when you can have more?

The SD-3 also comes in a three-pack (SD-3X3) because you can't have too much of a good thing!

Universal Audio SD-3 Includes:

• 1 x ⅝" to ⅜" thread adapter
• 1 x Standmount
• 1 x Storage pouch
• Virtual mics
• DN-4
  • The DN-4 is based on a modern compact instrument mic that works great on toms, but is equally at home on guitar cabinets and snare drums. We included a three-position filter to allow you to further sculpt the sound.
• 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. Our DN-57 is based on a recent production model.
• 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-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.
