Universal Audio SD-7 Dynamic Microphone with Hemisphere Modelling
Capture toms and instruments with legendary clarity.
Easily capture tom drums, guitar cabs, horns, and more with natural open tone. A classic dynamic mic with high SPL handling, hypercardioid polar pattern, and best-in-class Hemisphere mic modelling — Universal Audio SD-7 gives you pro sound with precision, in any environment.
Record Through Five Famous Instrument Mics
SD-7 is powered by the same mic modelling technology found in our award-winning UA Sphere microphones. With the included Hemisphere Mic Collection software, it’s the only dynamic modelling mic that gives you the authentic sound of famous dynamics from Sennheiser and Beyerdynamic.
A Modeling Mic That Works for You
SD-7 and the included Hemisphere Mic Collection software 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-7 and use the plug-in to quickly find that “sweet spot” for a guitar amp, or make horns pop through the mix.
Discover Your Best Sounds
From a rowdy stage to a quiet studio, SD-7’s ultra-high SPL capability makes it a perfect choice for loud, transient-rich sources. Also, thanks to its hypercardioid polar pattern, you’re able to back the mic away for added “air” without sacrificing isolation.
