Universal Audio SD-5: Professional Low-End Capture Redefined

The Universal Audio SD-5 brings unprecedented versatility to kick drum and bass microphone technology through UA's renowned Sphere modeling capabilities. This specialized dynamic microphone includes the Hemisphere Mic Collection software, enabling authentic emulation of classic kick drum microphones from Shure, Audix, and AKG. Going beyond simple EQ adjustments, the SD-5's modeling technology provides precise control over filter characteristics, proximity effect, and axis positioning - revolutionizing how engineers capture low-frequency instruments.

Engineered specifically for low-frequency sources, the SD-5 features a carefully tuned supercardioid polar pattern that excels in both studio and stage environments. The microphone's ultra-high SPL handling capability ensures clean capture of powerful kick drums and bass amplifiers, while exceptional isolation minimizes bleed from nearby sources. Premium construction includes all-metal housing with retro-inspired aesthetics and hand-selected capsules, delivering reliable performance for years of professional use.
