Overview

Key Features
Record Through Five Workhorse Mics
SD-3 is powered by the same mic modeling technology found in our award-winning UA Sphere microphones. With the included Hemisphere Mic Collection software, it’s the only dynamic modeling mic that gives you the authentic sound of famous dynamics from Shure, Sennheiser, and Audix.*
A Modeling Mic That Works for You
SD-3 and the included Hemisphere Mic Collection software 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-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.
Easily Capture Your Best Sounds
We fine-tuned the cardioid polar pattern on SD-3 for a wide range of environments
