Universal Audio SD-3: One Microphone, Endless Possibilities

The Universal Audio SD-3 revolutionizes dynamic microphone technology by incorporating UA's award-winning Sphere modeling capabilities. This innovative microphone comes with the Hemisphere Mic Collection software, allowing you to authentically recreate the sound of legendary dynamic microphones from manufacturers like Shure, Sennheiser, and Audix. Unlike simple EQ-based emulations, the SD-3's modeling technology provides precise control over filter characteristics, proximity effect, and axis positioning - features previously unavailable in dynamic microphones.

Built for professional versatility, the SD-3 features a carefully tuned cardioid polar pattern that excels in any recording environment, from bedroom studios to professional facilities and live stages. The microphone's compact design and ultra-high SPL handling make it perfect for close-miking guitar cabinets, drums, and other high-volume sources. Premium construction includes all-metal housing with retro-inspired aesthetics and hand-selected capsules, ensuring both durability and consistent performance.
