Description

Universal Audio have announced their entrance to the world of microphones and as ever, they've hit the mark. Their new SD-1 dynamic microphone is perfect for an impressive range of different applications and without the need to be powered by phantom power, it's flexible and suits any recording environment!

Crystal-clear speech and vocals

Capture vocals, instruments, livestreams, podcasts and just about any kind of recording you could dream of with precision and clarity. The SD-1 produces recordings ready for broadcast with a polished studio sound every time, no matter where you take it. 

Tailor-made for close-miked speech and vocals, the SD-1 actively rejects background noise and interference, guaranteeing a clean, crisp recording no matter how well treated your recording space is. Give vocals and instruments added clarity using the enhanced articulation boost and cut out any unwanted muddy frequencies with the selectable low cut (high pass) filter.

Suitable for recording a range of sources

The SD-1 not only excels when used to record speech and vocals, it's also excellent for high sound pressure level sources such as drums, percussion and brass. The dynamic capsule and cardioid polar pattern are ideal for situations when isolation and off-axis rejection is required and the built-in windscreen helps to rein in plosives and breath noise.

Achieve natural-sounding recordings with SD-1's flat, wide-range frequency response and make use of the Apollo Channel Strip Presets included to take your production quality even further. Use any standard balanced 3-pin XLR cable to hook up the SD-1 to your audio interface of choice and you're ready to record!

Dynamic Microphones

Dynamic microphones use a moving-coil or related robust capsule design and are often chosen for live sound, broadcast, drums, guitar cabinets, vocals and loud sources. They generally tolerate handling and high sound-pressure levels well, while many need more preamp gain than a sensitive condenser. Compare polar pattern, proximity effect, off-axis behaviour, grille and mounting, plus the available gain and noise performance of the interface or mixer. A dynamic microphone can be a focused close-range tool, but the model’s response and placement determine whether it suits speech, stage or instrument work.
