The First Dynamic Microphone from Universal Audio, Designed for the Modern Voice
A benchmark in professional audio, Universal Audio transfers its expertise from Apollo interfaces and UAD processing into a "broadcast" style microphone. The SD-1 stands as the dynamic microphone in the UA range: a robust, easy-to-position, and immediately musical tool for vocals, dialogue, and close-miked instruments.Who Is It For and What Is It For?
Podcasters, streamers, singers, and home studio producers will benefit from a consistent timbre regardless of the room. The cardioid pattern limits unwanted sounds (fans, refrigerators, keyboards) and puts the source front and center, whether for live performance, studio sessions, or videoconferencing.Technical specifications
