Universal Audio SD-3X3 Dynamic Microphone Bundle with Hemisphere Modeling

Easily capture drumsets and horn sections with Universal Audio’s SD-3X3 — a set of three classic dynamic mics with high SPL handling, cardioid polar patterns, and best-in-class Hemisphere mic modeling giving you pro sounds in any environment.

SD-3X3 mic bundle is powered by the same mic modeling technology found in Universal Audio’s award-winning UA Sphere microphones. With the included Hemisphere Mic Collection, it’s the only dynamic modeling mic that gives you the authentic sound of famous dynamics from Shure, Sennheiser, and Audix.

The SD-3X3 mic bundle and 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-3 mics in front of your source and use the plug-in to find that “sweet spot” for a brass instrument, or tame harsh frequencies on snare drums and toms.

Included Hemisphere Mic Models

DN-57
Introduced in 1965, the ubiquitous “57” is very likely the best selling microphone of all time. It can be a particularly good option when blended with other mics, such as ribbons and large diaphragm condensers, to achieve a more balanced sound. The DN-57 is based on a recent production model.

DN-545
A predecessor to the mighty 57, this model employed the Unidyne III capsule. It was used extensively on The Beach Boys Pet Sounds, including Brian Wilson’s lead vocal, and countless other recordings of that era.**

DN-604
The DN-604 model is based on a current production European-made 604, which has become a standard on stages and studios around the world. This compact clip-on mic has a variety of uses, most notably snare and tom drums.

DN-409U
The 409 shines on many sources, but is particularly well-suited to electric guitar amps. It has a smooth top, and its low-end response below 100 Hz can help instruments and vocals sit nicely in the mix.

DN-4
The DN-4 is based on a modern compact instrument mic that works great on toms, but is equally at home on guitar cabinets and snare drums. Universal Audio included a three-position filter to allow you to further sculpt the sound.
