    The Universal Audio SD-1 Standard Dynamic Microphone - Capture Your Best, Every Time.


    The SD-1 is Universal Audio’s flagship dynamic microphone for recording and live use, features Hemisphere mic modeling, a cardioid polar pattern, selectable low cut, and articulation boost switches.


    With the SD-1 Standard Dynamic Microphone and Hemisphere mic modeling, you can capture vocals, instruments, livestreams, and podcasts like a pro, quickly giving you polished studio sound that’s broadcast-ready.


    Universal Audio SD-1 Standard Dynamic Microphone Features:

    • Capture close-miked vocals and instruments with a classic dynamic cardioid mic
    • Get the sound of iconic dynamic mics with Hemisphere mic modeling
    • Get natural-sounding recordings with SD-1’s flat, wide-range frequency response
    • Add clarity and presence with low-cut and enhanced articulation boost switches

    Get Pro Vocals, Anywhere

    The SD-1 delivers studio-grade sound and style, no matter where you record. It’s tailor-made for close-miked speech and vocals, with a simple cardioid design that naturally rejects background noises like fans, refrigerators, and noisy bandmates.


    Get the Sound of Classic Mics with Hemisphere

    Using the same award-winning tech as our UA Sphere modeling microphones, the free Hemisphere mic modeling plug-in gives you the authentic sound of iconic dynamic mics from RCA, Sony, Sennheiser, and more — in realtime with Apollo or natively in your DAW.* You can also shape the sound of your recordings using filter, proximity effect, and axis controls — even after tracking.


    Shape your Sound with Quick Controls 

    Reduce rumble and mud from recordings with the SD-1’s selectable low cut filter. And with its enhanced articulation boost, vocals and instruments will instantly stand out with added presence.


    Deck Out your Desktop Studio

    With a sleek modern design and rear-mounted XLR jack for easy cable runs, the SD-1 will instantly level-up your production space. Whether it’s music, podcasts, livestreams, or Zoom meetings, your new go-to home studio mic has arrived.


    Capture your Best Recordings Yet

    The SD-1 features an internal shockmount and built-in windscreen, meaning your recordings and livestreams will automatically sound cleaner, with less handling noise and breath sound.
