Record Through Five Famous Instrument Mics

A Modeling Mic That Works for You
SD-7 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-7 and use the plug-in to quickly find that sweet spot for a guitar amp, or make horns pop through the mix.
Discover Your Best Sounds
From a rowdy stage to a quiet studio, SD-7s ultra-high SPL capability makes it a perfect choice for loud, transient-rich sources. And thanks to its hypercardioid polar pattern, you’re able to back the mic away for added “air” without sacrificing isolation.

Included Hemisphere Mic Models
DN-421B

Based on a rare early 421 with script logo, this model has slightly more vintage character, making it useful for warming up your guitar amplifiers, drums, or even vocals.
RB-160
This model is based on a vintage 1960s ribbon microphone with rich mid-forward character notably used on famous rock recordings, from Jimi Hendrixs screaming guitar amp to a pair used to record drums for “When the Levee Breaks by Led Zeppelin.**
DN-409N
Based on the earliest version in the 409 line of microphones. This vintage version has slightly more coloration than current production models, making it useful on a variety of sources including electric guitar and vocals. Notable uses of the 409 include vocals for Pink Floyd’s Live at Pompeii concert video.**
