Universal Audio has announced the debut of three new microphones in the Standard Series line-up — the SD-3, SD-5, and SD-7 dynamic microphones with proprietary Hemisphere Modeling software for Apollo DSP and Native for Mac/Windows — all designed to capture drums and instruments.
Key aspects include classic cardioid (SD-3), supercardioid (SD-5), and hypercardioid (SD-7) designs along with stated high SPL tolerance isolation. Additionally, each microphone is housed in a package with rugged all-metal construction.
The Hemisphere Mic Collection allows users to select from 32 classic dynamic, condenser, and ribbon mic tones across six unique microphones in real-time, while also offering the ability to adjust attributes like the mic’s filter, proximity effect, and off-axis response before and after recording.
The SD-3 is a compact model designed for snare, percussion, and guitar amps. The SD-5 captures snare and tom drums, loud guitar cabs, brass, and more. And, the SD-7 is engineered to capture toms, guitar and bass amps, horns, percussion, and other loud or transient-rich sources with natural open tone. All three models include an integrated standmount and storage pouch.
Note: The Hemisphere plugin is available upon product registration.
