The Universal Audio SD-7 Microphone is a hypercardioid dynamic microphone for drums and instruments featuring Hemisphere mic modeling technology, high SPL tolerance, and included accessories.
Easily capture tom drums, guitar cabs, horns, and more with natural open tone. A classic dynamic mic with high SPL handling, hypercardioid polar pattern, and best-in-class Hemisphere mic modeling — SD-7 gives you pro sound with precision, in any environment.
Record Through Five Famous Instrument Mics
SD-7 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 Sennheiser and Beyerdynamic.*
A Modeling Mic That Works for You
SD-7 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-7 and use the plug-in to quickly find that “sweet spot” for a guitar amp, or make horns pop through the mix.
Discover Your Best Sounds
From a rowdy stage to a quiet studio, SD-7’s ultra-high SPL capability makes it a perfect choice for loud, transient-rich sources. And thanks to its hypercardioid polar pattern, you're able to back the mic away for added "air" without sacrificing isolation.
Add a Pro Mic with Vintage Style
With rugged all-metal construction, cool retro look, and hand-selected capsules, SD-7 gives you a trusted companion, reliably capturing your sources for a lifetime of professional performance.
Hemisphere Mic Modeling - Authentic Mic Modeling Made Simple
Universal Audio's new microphone modeling plugin, Hemisphere Mic Modeling is now available for free to anyone that owns a Universal Audio Standard Series microphone! The download will be free upon registration of your microphone. Since the SD-7 microphone is a neutral microphone for its type, it's a perfect blank canvas for microphone modeling so that you can audition and select between several models of famous studio microphones. With Hemisphere mic modeling, you'll be able to capture album-ready vocals and instruments with great character and musicality. The Hemisphere plugin allows you to shape the sound of your recordings using filters, proximity, and axis controls - even after tracking!
