Key Benefits:
- Get studio-quality kick drum and bass recordings with a UA-designed dynamic modeling microphone

- Get pristine results in any environment, from pro rooms and home studios to stages
- Find your perfect sound with ease using filter, proximity, and axis controls
Record Through Five Workhorse Kick Mics:
SD-5 is powered by the same mic modeling technology found in Universal Audio’s award-winning UA Sphere microphones. With the included Hemisphere Mic Collection, it’s the only dynamic modeling mic that gives you the authentic sound of famous dynamics from Shure, Audix, and AKG.
A Modeling Mic That Works for You:
SD-5 and the included Hemisphere Mic Collection plug-in work with or without UA hardware, and go way beyond subtle EQ curves to give you precise control over filter, proximity, and axis — an industry first. Just set up SD-5 and use the plug-in to quickly find that “sweet spot” for your kick drum or bass amp, including the DN-12A, Dn-112, DN-6, DN-52 and the DN-SUB.
Easily Capture Your Best Bass Sounds:
Universal Audio fine-tuned the supercardioid polar pattern on SD-5 for use on stage or in the studio. And with its ultra-high SPL capability and exceptional isolation, you’ll capture all the thump, tone, and transients in your instrument without bleed from other sources.
Add a Pro Mic with Vintage Style:
With all-metal construction, retro styling, and hand-selected capsules, SD-5 gives you a trusted companion to reliably capture valuable low-end frequencies for decades of solid performance.
