New UA Standard Series Mics Bring Powerful Hemisphere Mic Modeling to Full Band Recordings
— Introducing SD-3, SD-5, and SD-7 Drum & Instrument Microphones, Starting at $129 US —
SCOTTS VALLEY, CA • May 14, 2024 — Universal Audio Inc. (UA), a worldwide leader in audio production tools, is proud to introduce three new microphones in the Standard Series line-up — the SD-3, SD-5, and SD-7 Dynamic Microphones with Hemisphere Modeling, designed to easily capture drums and instruments.
Joining the award-winning UA Sphere and handmade UA Bock microphones, Universal Audio continues to bring world-class sound and timeless design to the microphone market with the expansion of the Standard Series.
Key features include classic cardioid (SD-3), supercardioid (SD-5), and hypercardioid (SD-7) designs, ultra-high SPL tolerance, and exceptional isolation. Additionally, each microphone is built with UA’s professional reliability, rugged all-metal construction and stylish craftsmanship.
Standing out as extraordinary recording microphones on their own, all Standard Series models come with Hemisphere mic modeling software for Apollo DSP and Native for Mac / Windows.
The Hemisphere Mic Collection empowers music creators to select from 32 classic dynamic, condenser, and ribbon mic tones across six unique microphones in realtime, while also offering the ability to adjust powerful attributes like the mic’s filter, proximity effect, and off-axis response before and after recording — featuring a level of control that would be impossible with traditional microphones.
