If you're seeking a dynamic microphone that offers superior sound quality and versatility, look no further than the SD-3 Dynamic Cardioid Microphone with Hemisphere Mic Modeling Plug-In. This modern classic is ideal for capturing the rich tones of snare drums, percussion, guitar amps, and brass instruments, thanks to its high SPL handling and cardioid polar pattern.
The SD-3 is powered by the same award-winning mic modeling technology found in our top-tier UA Sphere microphones. It comes bundled with the Hemisphere Mic Collection software, making it the only dynamic modeling mic that authentically replicates the sound of renowned dynamic microphones from leading brands like Shure, Sennheiser, and Audix. The Hemisphere mic modeling plug-in becomes available upon product registration.
The SD-3 and the included Hemisphere Mic Collection software are designed to work seamlessly with or without UA hardware. They offer more than just subtle EQ curves, providing precise control over filter, proximity, and axis - a unique feature in the industry. Whether you're finding the perfect "sweet spot" for a guitar cab or taming harsh frequencies on a snare or tom drum, the SD-3 makes it effortless.
The cardioid polar pattern of the SD-3 has been fine-tuned to perform optimally in a wide range of environments. From your bedroom or project studio to professional recording studios and even live stages, the SD-3's ultra-high SPL tolerance and exceptional isolation deliver the iconic "sit-in-the-mix" sounds that have graced countless hit records. Its compact size allows for perfect mic placement, even in tight spaces.
Constructed with all-metal and featuring a retro fit and finish, the SD-3 is more than just a "workhorse dynamic" microphone. Its hand-selected capsules set it apart, making it a reliable partner for capturing nearly any sound source. The SD-3 is also available in a three-pack, perfect for miking up a full rack of tom drums or your entire backline.
The included Hemisphere Mic Models Plug-In features the DN-4, DN-57, DN-409U, and DN-604. These models are based on modern and classic microphones, each with their unique characteristics, making the SD-3 a versatile tool for any recording scenario.
