The SD-5 is a dynamic supercardioid microphone that you can use to capture the sound of kick drums and low-frequency instruments, as it handles high levels of acoustic pressure very well. It comes with the Hemisphere plugin, microphone modeling, and various accessories ensuring professional use.

With the dynamic SD-5 microphone and Hemisphere microphone modeling, you'll be able to capture all the punch and body of your kick drums, guitar amps, and any bass-heavy instruments, quickly achieving sounds that you'll have no trouble mixing.

Key Benefits:
Dynamic supercardioid microphone designed for capturing the sound of kick drums, bass amps, and other bass-heavy sources and instruments.
Hemisphere modeling to replicate the sound of legendary dynamic microphones from Sennheiser and Beyerdynamic*.
Supercardioid directionality rejecting off-axis sounds while preserving presence in the low frequencies.
Specifically selected capsules to handle extreme acoustic pressure levels.
Comes with a built-in stand and pouch.
Robust all-metal construction and sleek UA design.
A Practical Solution for Capturing Monumental Bass:
On stage or in the studio, the supercardioid directionality, handling of very high acoustic pressure levels, and exceptional isolation of the SD-5 guarantee a powerful sound with plenty of body. Move the SD-5 around the source to achieve perfect detail and bass response without even needing to use an equalizer. This way, you'll capture all the transients and tonal nuances of your instruments.
Impeccable Bass with Hemisphere Microphone Modeling:
Hemisphere is a free microphone modeling plugin that employs the same technology as our UA Sphere modeling microphones. You can thus recreate the sound of legendary dynamic models, including those from Shure, Audix, or AKG, in real-time with the Apollo or natively in your DAW*. You can also shape the sound of your recordings by applying a filter, playing with proximity effect and axes, even after recording. You can even use the "reverse woofer" technique to achieve even more impressive bass.
A Vintage-Style Pro Microphone:
The SD-5 is a reliable ally. Its all-metal construction, retro style, and specially selected capsules will allow you to capture those precious low frequencies with unmatched reliability for decades.
