Got Loud Instruments? Get This Mic!
Or, rather, get these five mics. You read that correctly, the Universal Audio SD-3 Dynamic Microphone leverages the same Hemisphere technology found within UA’s other Standard series mics, resulting in five of the most iconic dynamic instrument microphones together in a single, sleek package. This dynamite cardioid dynamic mic is poised to become a daily studio staple from the moment you unbox it, with its hand-selected capsule that handles extremely high SPL, easy-to-place design, and all-metal construction that can easily take a whack from a wayward drumstick. Studio engineers are quick to point out that the SD-3 isn’t just for snare drums, however — look at the Hemisphere interface for your SD-3, and you’ll see some familiar faces that have featured on guitar cabs and other loud instruments for decades. Whether you track drums, guitars, vocalists, brass, or other high-decibel instruments, the Universal Audio SD-3 with Hemisphere mic modeling technology belongs in your mic locker.
