A Modern Classic for Snare, Percussion & Guitar Amps

Easily capture snare and tom drums, loud guitar cabs, brass, and more with SD-3 — a classic dynamic mic with high SPL handling, cardioid polar pattern, and best-in-class Hemisphere mic modeling giving you pro sound in any environment.

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. 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. Plus, its compact size lets you zone in for perfect mic placement in tight spaces.
