Designed specifically for kick drums, bass cabinets, synth amps, and other low-frequency instruments, the SD-5 combines a supercardioid dynamic capsule with Universal Audio's Hemisphere microphone modeling technology to give you five iconic kick drum microphone sounds in a single, rugged microphone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SD-5 features a hand-selected dynamic capsule capable of handling extreme SPL, making it ready for the demands of kick drums and high-output bass sources. Its supercardioid polar pattern provides focused pickup and helps minimise unwanted bleed, while the compact design makes it easy to position exactly where you need it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncluded Hemisphere microphone modeling technology expands the SD-5 into a versatile virtual microphone locker. Five modeled microphones give you a range of classic low-frequency tones, from balanced kick drum sounds and deep, contoured bass to extended sub-frequency weight. The Hemisphere models include the DN-12A, DN-112, DN-6, DN-52, and DN-SUB.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHemisphere also provides proximity, axis, and filter controls for detailed tonal shaping. Proximity lets you virtually adjust the microphone's distance from the source, while axis control changes the virtual microphone angle to help manage unwanted frequencies. Best of all, these controls can be adjusted even after tracking, giving you greater flexibility when mixing without needing to physically reposition the microphone or re-record the performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt for regular professional use, the SD-5 features rugged all-metal construction and a classic vintage-inspired aesthetic. Its standmount with angle adjustment makes placement straightforward, while the included storage pouch helps protect the microphone between sessions. Whether you're recording kick drums, bass cabs, synth amps, or other low-frequency sources, the Universal Audio SD-5 is a versatile addition to any microphone locker.
