The Universal Audio SD-3 Dynamic Microphone Bundle delivers three rugged, high-SPL cardioid dynamic microphones designed for snare drums, guitar cabinets, toms, and other loud instruments. Each SD-3 combines a hand-selected dynamic capsule with Universal Audio's Hemisphere microphone modeling technology, giving you access to five iconic dynamic microphone models in a compact, easy-to-place design.

Included Hemisphere modeling technology takes the flexibility of UA's Sphere microphone software and applies it to the SD-3's dynamic instrument microphone design. Choose from five modeled microphone sounds suited to snare drums, guitar cabinets, toms, vocals, and other demanding recording applications. With three SD-3 microphones, you can capture multiple sources simultaneously while maintaining consistent microphone characteristics across your setup.

Hemisphere provides more than microphone models. Proximity, axis, and filter controls let you virtually adjust microphone distance, placement angle, and tonal response without physically moving the microphone. Even better, these parameters can be changed after tracking, giving you greater flexibility when mixing and refining your recordings.

Built for demanding studio use, the SD-3 features a hand-selected capsule capable of handling extreme SPL and rugged all-metal construction that can withstand regular wear and tear. The compact design makes placement around drum kits and guitar cabinets simple, while the vintage-inspired aesthetic adds classic style to your microphone locker. Each microphone includes a standmount adapter and storage pouch. Available now at Sky Music Australia.
