Universal Audio SD-7 Dynamic Microphone with Hemisphere Modeling

Record Through Five Famous Instrument Mics
SD - 7 is powered by the same mic modeling technology found in Universal Audio’s award - winning UA Sphere microphones. With the included Hemisphe re Mic Collection, it’s the only dynamic modeling mic that gives you the authentic sound of famous dynamics from Sennheiser and Beyerdynamic.*

A Modeling Mic That Works for You
SD - 7 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 - 7 and use the plug- in to quickly find that “sweet spot” for a guitar amp, or make horns pop through the mix

Discover Your Best Sounds
From a rowdy stage to a quiet studio, SD -7’s ultra - high SPL capability makes it a perfect choice for loud, transient - rich sources. And thanks to its hypercardioid polar pattern, you're able to back the mic away for added "air" wit hout sacrificing isolation.

Add a Pro Mic with Vintage Style
With rugged all - metal construction, cool retro look, and hand - selected capsules, SD-7 gives you a trusted companion, reliably capturing your sources for a lifetime of professional performance.

Filter control models on-microphone controls such as HPFs, pads, and mic specific functions such as brilliance and mode switches

Proximity control models proximity effect, allowing users to virtually move the microphone further or closer to add weight and depth

Axis control lets users virtually rotate the microphone, providing endless sonic shaping possibilities when combined with the filter and proximity controls
