SD-3 Dynamic Modeling Microphone — The New Standard for Workhorse Dynamics

From snare and tom drums to blaring guitar amps and brass, the SD-3 captures it all with punch, clarity, and character. This rugged dynamic mic features a cardioid polar pattern, high SPL handling, and industry-leading Hemisphere mic modeling — giving you pro-quality results in any recording or live sound environment.

Built on the same award-winning modeling technology as UA’s Sphere microphones, the included Hemisphere Mic Collection plug-in lets SD-3 deliver the authentic tones of classic dynamic mics from Shure, Sennheiser, Audix, and more.

Unlike basic EQ emulations, Hemisphere offers deep control over proximity, axis, and filtering, so you can fine-tune your sound before or after recording. Whether you're shaping a snare tone, taming mids on a tom, or dialing in a tight guitar cab sound, SD-3 helps you quickly find the sonic sweet spot — with or without UA hardware.

Universal Audio engineered SD-3’s cardioid pattern for maximum flexibility in any setting — from bedroom studios and pro rooms to the live stage. Its ultra-high SPL tolerance ensures it handles loud, transient-heavy sources with ease, while excellent isolation keeps your recordings clean and focused. The compact design also makes precise mic placement simple, even in tight spaces.

With durable all-metal construction, retro styling, and hand-selected capsules, the SD-3 redefines the dynamic mic workhorse — built to capture your best takes for years to come.
