Universal Audio SD-1 Standard Dynamic Microphone

The SD-1 Standard dynamic vocal microphone gives you a natural and balanced sound for capturing studio-quality vocals. Thanks to its cardioid polar pattern, flat frequency response and innovative Hemisphere mic modeling technology, the SD-1 produces professional results no matter your recording environment. With five famous mic models to choose from and adjustable filters, you can easily find your perfect tone.

Authentic Vintage Mic Sound

The SD-1 is powered by the same mic modeling technology as Universal Audio's award-winning UA Sphere microphones. With the included Hemisphere Mic Collection, it's the only dynamic modeling mic that provides the genuine sound of renowned vocal and instrument mics from RCA, Beyerdynamic, Sennheiser and more. Simply set up the SD-1, select your desired mic model in the plug-in and adjust the filter, proximity and axis controls to capture the essence of a vintage mic.

Tailor Your Tone

The SD-1's filter switches allow you to reduce low-end rumble for a cleaner recording or add presence to any sound source. If you own a Universal Audio Apollo audio interface, you can audition and record through different mic models in real time and use custom channel strip presets to achieve a polished, album-ready sound right out of the box.

Sturdy and Stylish

With its rugged all-metal construction and sleek design, the SD-1 is built to withstand the rigors of recording and performing while looking professional. Its rear-mounted XLR jack allows for tidy cable management. An internal shockmount reduces unwanted vibration and handling noise. A built-in windscreen diminishes plosives and breath sounds for a polished result.

Dynamic Versatility

The SD-1's cardioid polar pattern provides excellent rejection of background noise, allowing your vocals to cut through the mix with clarity. Its wide, flat frequency range captures the natural tone of vocals and instruments. With the SD-1 Standard dynamic microphone, you have a versatile, professional-quality mic for achieving stunning results on vocals, strings, drums and more.
