Universal Audio SD-1 Standard Dynamic Cardioid Microphone

Dynamic Microphone with Low-cut and Articulation Switches, Internal Shockmount, and Included Software - White

Get an up-close and broadcast-ready sound from your vocals and instruments with the SD-1 Standard Dynamic Cardioid Microphone from Universal Audio. With its wide frequency response from 50 Hz to 16 kHz, this versatile mic's dynamic capsule delivers polished, natural sounding recordings and can be used to capture speech, vocals, and a wide variety of instruments.

The SD-1 features a low-cut filter to reduce rumbling and unwanted low-end noise, while the Articulation Boost adds a presence boost in the 3 to 5 kHz range for additional high-end clarity if desired. The capsule's cardioid pickup pattern focuses audio capture in front of the microphone, picking up less background sound and making the mic well suited for streaming and podcasting applications, even in less than perfect acoustic spaces.

Professional Results

The SD-1 delivers studio-grade sound and style, no matter where you record. It's tailor-made for close-miked speech and vocals, with a simple dynamic design that naturally rejects background noises like fans, refrigerators, and noisy bandmates.
