SD-5 Dynamic Microphone with Hemisphere modeling
With the SD-5 Dynamic Microphone and Hemisphere Mic modeling, you can capture all the punch and power of your kick drums, bass amps, and anything else that requires extended low-end punch, and get quickly mixable sounds for hit-worthy results.

  • Dynamic supercardioid microphone for kick drums, bass amplifiers and other low-end sources and instruments
  • Hemisphere Mic modeling gives you the sounds of legendary dynamic microphones from Shure, Audix, AKG and more*
  • Supercardioid polar pickup pattern suppresses off-axis noise while maintaining the presence of low frequencies
  • Hand-picked dynamic capsules for extreme sound pressure levels
  • Robust all-metal construction and stylish UA craftsmanship
  • Includes integrated stand and storage bag

Capture your best bass sounds effortlessly
Whether on stage or in the studio, the SD-5's supercardioid polar pattern, extremely high SPL and exceptional isolation deliver powerful punch and impact. Move the SD-5 around your sound source to get the perfect amount of detail and bass response - without using EQ - and capture all the transients and sound of your instruments.

Get low-end perfection with Hemisphere Mic modeling
Using the same award-winning technology as our UA Sphere modeling microphones, the free Hemisphere Mic modeling plug-in delivers the authentic sound of legendary dynamic microphones from Shure, Audix, AKG and more, in real time with Apollo or natively in your DAW. * Plus, you can shape the sound of your recordings with filters, proximity effects and axis controls — even after recording, including the famous "woofer-in-reverse" mic trick for an even deeper low end.

Add a Vintage-style pro microphone
With its all-metal construction, retro styling and hand-selected capsules, the SD-5 is a reliable companion that reliably captures valuable low frequencies and offers solid power for decades.

About Universal Audio

Pioneer in audio recordings for more than 50 years

Founded in 1958 by Bill Putnam Sr., Universal Audio has always been synonymous with   innovative recording equipment . A favorite engineer of Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Ray Charles and others, Bill was a passionate innovator who is considered the Vater of modern audio recording. Many of his legendary studio and equipment designs are still used today. B. Putnam was the inventor of the modern   Sound console , des   Multiband audio equalizer   and he was the first engineer to   artificial reverberation   used in commercial recordings. Alongside his friend Les Paul, Bill was also involved in the early development of stereophonic recording.
Putnam, known as a busy entrepreneur, founded three audio product companies during his long career:   Universal Audio ,   Studio Electronics   and   Urei . All three companies built equipment that was widely used upon introduction and would shape studio sound for generations. The boutique compressors LA-2A and 1176 and the 610 tube console are among these legends. With the 610 mixing console, greats like...   Sinatra , the   Beach Boys   and   Van Halen   their studio albums.
Universal Audio was re-founded in 1999 by Bill's sons James Putnam and Bill Putnam Jr. A twofold approach was planned: On the one hand, the classic analogue recording devices were to be faithfully reproduced in the tradition of his father; and on the other hand, the sound and spirit of Vintage analog technology should be in the   new digital recording tools   are used.

Impressive effects pedals for guitarists and special guitar recording tools such as the Universal Audio OX are now also part of the range and are extremely popular with fans of outstanding sound.
