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. With 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 Audix.*
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.

Universal Audio fine-tuned the cardioid polar pattern on SD-3 for a wide range of environments. Whether it s your bedroom, project, or pro studio — or even the stage — SD-3’s ultra-high SPL tolerance and exceptional isolation give you iconic sit-in-the-mix sounds heard on countless hits.

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.
Included Hemisphere Mic Models
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 is 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 works 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.
