Punchy Kick‑Drum Mic with Next‑Gen Modeling Freedom
The Universal Audio SD‑5 is a rugged, supercardioid dynamic microphone designed specifically for kick drums, bass amps, and other low-frequency sources. It delivers powerful, focused sound and includes UA’s cutting-edge Hemisphere Mic Modeling, letting you emulate famous dynamic microphones like the Shure BETA 52A, AKG D112, and Audix D6—all via the included Hemisphere plug-in.
Precision Engineering & Hemisphere Modeling
Built with a hand-selected capsule and high SPL tolerance, the SD‑5 excels in capturing deep, punchy tone while suppressing unwanted bleed thanks to its supercardioid pattern. The Hemisphere modeling plugin provides filter, proximity, and axis controls for shaping mic character—either during tracking or in post—modeling five classic kick mic voices.
