Universal Audio SD-7 Dynamic Microphone with Hemisphere Modeling for Instruments

Classic microphone sound to the power of five! Get five go-to studio microphones in one with the Universal Audio SD-7 dynamic modeling mic. UA's modeling technology paired with their Hemisphere Mic Collection software gives you the sound of Sennheiser, and Beyerdynamic in one elegant package that looks as cool as it sounds. Go for that Bonham sound with a 160 on the drum kit, an early 409 on a vocals, or 441 on a guitar cab. The possibilities are endless and the sound is dead on. The mic's fine-tuned Hypercardioid 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-7'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?

  • RB-160
    • This model is based on a vintage 1960’s ribbon microphone with rich mid-forward character — notably used on famous rock recordings, from Jimi Hendrix’s screaming guitar amp to a pair used to record drums for "When the Levee Breaks” by Led Zeppelin.**
  • DN-409N
    • Based on the earliest version in the 409 line of microphones.

Notable uses of the 409 include vocals for Pink Floyd's Live at Pompeii concert video.**
  • DN-421B
    • Based on a modern 421, which has a slightly brighter and harder sound than earlier iterations — this is likely the most famous tom mic of all time, and is also no slouch on kick drum or brass instruments.

    • Based on a rare early 421 with script logo, this model has slightly more vintage character, making it useful for warming up your guitar amplifiers, drums, or even vocals.
  • DN-441
