Universal Audio SD-3 Dynamic Instrument Microphone with Hemisphere Modeling

The SD-3 is the instrument dynamic in UA's Standard series, with a hypercardioid pattern that keeps a loud stage or a busy drum kit from bleeding into the channel.

It ships with a standmount, a thread adapter and a storage pouch, and at under half a pound it clamps where it is needed without dragging a stand over. Hemisphere mic modeling runs on a UA interface or in a DAW and reshapes the capture to match a set of classic microphones, so the same mic covers several jobs without swapping hardware.
