Universal Audio SD-5 Dynamic Drum Microphone with Hemisphere Modeling

The SD-5 is built for the loudest, lowest sources in the room: kick drum and bass cabinets. Its frequency range starts at 20 Hz and its 50 ohm output impedance drives long cable runs without loss.

The supercardioid pattern keeps the rest of the kit out of the channel, which matters more inside a kick drum than anywhere else on a session. 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.
