Universal Audio SD-7 Dynamic Microphone w/ Hemisphere Mic Modelling

The SD-7 dynamic microphone brings professional studio quality to any recording environment with its advanced mic modelling technology and exceptional sound capture capabilities. This versatile microphone excels at recording tom drums, guitar cabinets, horns and other instruments with remarkable clarity and natural open tone, thanks to its hypercardioid polar pattern and ultra-high SPL handling that makes it perfect for loud, transient-rich sources.

Powered by the same innovative mic modelling technology found in UA’s award-winning Sphere microphones, the SD-7 includes the Hemisphere Mic Collection software that authentically recreates the sound of famous dynamic microphones from Sennheiser and Beyerdynamic. This industry-first technology goes beyond simple EQ adjustments to provide precise control over filter, proximity, and axis parameters, allowing you to quickly find that perfect “sweet spot” for guitar amps or make horns cut through dense mixes.

The SD-7 and Hemisphere Mic Collection software operate independently of UA hardware, making this dynamic modelling microphone accessible to any recording setup. Its hypercardioid polar pattern allows you to position the microphone further from sources to capture additional “air” without compromising isolation, while the rugged all-metal construction with hand-selected capsules ensures reliable performance across countless recording sessions from rowdy stages to quiet studios.
