Record Through Five Workhorse Mics

Modeling Mic That Works for You

Just set up SD-3 and use the plug-in to find that "sweet spot" for a guitar cab, or tame harsh frequencies on a snare or tom drum.

Whether it's your bedroom, project, or pro studio " or even the stage " SD-3's ultra-high SPL tolerance and exceptional isolation give you iconic "sit-in-the-mix" sounds heard on countless hits.

With all-metal construction, retro fit and finish, and hand-selected capsules, the SD-3 stands apart from other "workhorse dynamics" " giving you a trusted partner, perfect for capturing nearly any source.
Included Hemisphere Mic Models
DN-57
Introduced in 1965, the ubiquitous "57" is very likely the best selling microphone of all time. It can be a particularly good option when blended with other mics, such as ribbons and large diaphragm condensers, to achieve a more balanced sound. The DN-57 is based on a recent production model.
DN-545
A predecessor to the mighty 57, this model employed the Unidyne III capsule. It was used extensively on The Beach Boys Pet Sounds, including Brian Wilson's lead vocal, and countless other recordings of that era.
DN-604
The DN-604 model is based on a current production European-made 604, which has become a standard on stages and studios around the world. This compact clip-on mic has a variety of uses, most notably snare and tom drums.
DN-409U
The 409 shines on many sources, but is particularly well-suited to electric guitar amps. It has a smooth top, and its low-end response below 100 Hz can help instruments and vocals sit nicely in the mix.
DN-4
The DN-4 is based on a modern compact instrument mic that works great on toms, but is equally at home on guitar cabinets and snare drums. Universal Audio included a three-position filter to allow you to further sculpt the sound.
