The broadcast and vocal dynamic with Hemisphere mic modeling. The Universal Audio SD-1 is a cardioid dynamic microphone designed for vocal recording, broadcast, podcasting, and any application where a dynamic delivers better off-axis rejection than a condenser.

Overview

SD-1 was the original UA Standard Series dynamic mic, and pairs perfectly with the Hemisphere Mic Collection — letting you record through emulations of legendary broadcast and vocal dynamics. It's at home on a vocal performance, a podcast desk, a streaming setup, or any close-miked source where you want dynamic-mic isolation with the option to dial in vintage character via Hemisphere.
