Product details

Studio microphone for high-quality, broadcast-ready voice recordings

The Universal Audio SD-1 Standard is a modern, professional microphone designed for recording speech and vocals. Its dynamic capsule with a cardioid pattern effectively eliminates background noise from the recording environment, ensuring it does not reach the recording. The capsule design developed by Universal Audio guarantees a full, rich, and warm vocal transmission. Additionally, the two filters allow for sound shaping: a high-pass filter at 200 Hz helps to clean up the sound and filter out footstep noise, while the presence filter with a subtle boost at 3 to 5 kHz brings your track forward in the mix and significantly enhances the intelligibility of your voice recordings.

Universal Audio SD-1 Standard dynamic vocal microphone overview:

  • Dynamic microphone for use in professional voice recordings
  • Compatible presets for UAD Apollo Channel Strip available for free from Universal Audio - instant ready sound
  • Moving coil capsule with cardioid pattern ensures the elimination of ambient noise
  • Built-in pop filter and footstep noise reduction
  • Low cut at 200 Hz and presence boost at 3 - 5 kHz switchable
  • Swiveling bracket mount
