The SD-3 is a dynamic microphone for instruments offered by Universal Audio.

With the SD-3 dynamic microphone and Hemisphere microphone modeling, you can easily capture the sound of snare drums, toms, guitar cabinets, brass, woodwinds, and other powerful instruments with studio-quality sound. This compact, sturdy microphone with its sleek design will deliver perfect results day after day.

Key Advantages:

Compact dynamic microphone for percussion and instruments
Hemisphere modeling to rediscover the sound of legendary dynamic microphones from Shure, Audix, and Sennheiser*
Shape the sound of your recordings by applying a filter and modifying proximity effect and axes – even after recording
Cardioid directionality rejecting off-axis sounds
Specially selected capsules to handle extreme acoustic pressure levels
Robust all-metal construction and stylish design by UA
Perfect recordings in a single take:
Whether in a home studio, professional studio, or even on stage, the classic cardioid directionality, excellent handling of high acoustic pressure levels, and exceptional isolation of the SD-3 will provide you with the same legendary sound you hear on countless hits. Furthermore, its compact size makes it easy to place in tight spaces.

Integrated Hemisphere microphone modeling technology:
Hemisphere is a free microphone modeling plug-in that employs the same technology as our UA Sphere modeling microphones. You can thus rediscover the sound of legendary dynamic models from Shure, Audix, and Sennheiser in real-time with Apollo or natively in your DAW*. You can also shape the sound of your recordings by applying a filter, playing with proximity effect and axes, even after recording.

A professional microphone with retro style:
With its all-metal construction, sleek shape and finish, and specially selected capsules, the SD-3 stands out from other "all-terrain" dynamic microphones. It will be your preferred ally for capturing virtually any sound source.
