About Universal Audio SD-7

Take your audio recording to the next level with the SD-7 Dynamic Hypercardioid Microphone, complete with the innovative Hemisphere Mic Modeling Plug-in. This professional-grade microphone is designed to capture the nuanced sounds of tom drums, guitar cabinets, horns, and more with unparalleled clarity and a natural, open tone.

The SD-7 is a classic dynamic microphone, renowned for its high Sound Pressure Level (SPL) handling and hypercardioid polar pattern. It's equipped with the best-in-class Hemisphere mic modeling, ensuring precision and professional sound quality in any recording environment.

This dynamic microphone is powered by the same advanced mic modeling technology found in our award-winning UA Sphere microphones. The included Hemisphere Mic Collection software makes the SD-7 the only dynamic modeling microphone that authentically replicates the sound of famous dynamic microphones from industry leaders like Sennheiser and Beyer Dynamic.

The SD-7 Dynamic Hypercardioid Microphone 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 groundbreaking feature in the industry. Set up the SD-7, use the plug-in, and effortlessly find the "sweet spot" for a guitar amp or make horns stand out in the mix.

Whether you're recording on a rowdy stage or in a quiet studio, the SD-7's ultra-high SPL capability makes it an ideal choice for capturing loud, transient-rich sources. The hypercardioid polar pattern allows you to back the mic away for added "air" without sacrificing isolation.

The SD-7 Dynamic Hypercardioid Microphone is not just a high-performance tool, but also a stylish addition to your setup. Its rugged all-metal construction, cool retro look, and hand-selected capsules ensure a lifetime of reliable, professional performance.

The package includes Hemisphere Mic Models DN-421B and DN-421S. The DN-421B is based on a modern 421, known for its slightly brighter and harder sound - a favorite for tom mics, kick drums, or brass instruments. The DN-421S, based on a rare early 421 with a script logo, adds a touch of vintage character, perfect for warming up your guitar amplifiers, drums, or even vocals.

Note: The Hemisphere mic modeling plug-in is available upon product registration.
