Key Benefits
- Get studio-quality kick drum and bass recordings with a UA-designed dynamic modeling microphone

Record Through Five Workhorse Kick Mics
SD-5 is powered by the same mic modeling technology found in Universal Audio’s award-winning UA Sphere microphones. With the included Hemisphere Mic Collection, it’s the only dynamic modeling mic that gives you the authentic sound of famous dynamics from Shure, Audix, and AKG.*
A Modeling Mic That Works for You
SD-5 and the included Hemisphere Mic Collection plug-in 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-5 and use the plug-in to quickly find that “sweet spot” for your kick drum or bass amp.
Easily Capture Your Best Bass Sounds
Universal Audio fine-tuned the super-cardioid polar pattern on SD-5 for use on stage or in the studio. With its ultra-high SPL capability and exceptional isolation, you’ll capture all the thump, tone, and transients in your instrument without bleeding from other sources.
Add a Pro Mic with Vintage Style
With all-metal construction, retro styling, and hand-selected capsules, SD-5 gives you a trusted companion to reliably capture valuable low-end frequencies for decades of solid performance.
Included Hemisphere Mic Models
DN-12A
Based on a popular dynamic microphone dating back to the 1950’s — this model is favored by producer/engineer John Leckie (Radiohead, Paul McCartney, Pink Floyd), who often uses a 12 model alongside a 421 on kick drums.**
DN-112
This Austrian-made kick drum microphone is now considered an industry standard. Used on countless Hip-Hop and Rock records, it has extended low-frequency capture with a clear top-end presence for beater attack.
DN-6
The DN-6 model is based on an American kick drum mic that has become a go-to for studio recording. With its deep bass and heavily contoured sound, it works especially well for tight, syncopated Metal genres.
DN-52
The DN-52 model is based on a current production version of the American 52-style kick drum microphone. This model provides extended low-frequency capture, and an overall balanced sound useful on nearly any kick drum or bass instrument.
DN-SUB
The DN-SUB model is based on a studio trick that uses a full-range speaker driver wired-in-reverse for extended sub-frequency capture. Many engineers will blend this sound along with a traditional mic for adding weight to kick drums and bass cabinets — now an easier task with just a single mic and the Hemisphere plug-in.
