After decades of crafting some of the most revered audio processing hardware in existence, Universal Audio introduces the SD-1 dynamic vocal and instrument microphone. The SD-1 captures studio-quality broadcast-ready audio wherever you record.A cardioid pickup pattern rejects sound originating from the back and sides, putting the focus where you point it. The SD-1 is ideal for close-miked vocals and offers a switchable articulation boost between 3 and 5 kHz where the human voice sits. There's also a selectable low cut filter to reduce rumble from various sources like the truck in the alley.The SD-1 also makes a great live performance microphone thanks to its cardioid pattern and internal shockmount that rejects noise transferred from mic stands. A built-in windscreen hepls reduce plosives (hard consonants) and breath noise when you're going all in for the performance.If you have an Apollo interface (sold separately) you can download UA mic presets for free to use with your SD-1.Universal Audio UNA-SD-1 Applications:RecordingLive performancePodcastingLive streamingUniversal Audio UNA-SD-1 Features:Dynamic studio vocal microphone with low cut and articulation boostCardioid polar pattern rejects off‑axis sounds and room noiseFlat frequency response (50 Hz–16 kHz) for natural‑sounding recordingsShape vocals and instruments with SD‑1 Apollo Channel Strip PresetsInternal shockmount reduces low‑end rumble and mechanical noiseRear-mounted XLR jack for easy cable managementBuilt-in windscreen reduces plosives and breath noiseQuality UA craftsmanship and stylish, rugged buildUniversal Audio UNA-SD-1 Specifications:Model: Universal Audio Standard Dynamic Model One / SD-1Microphone Type: DynamicPolar Pattern: CardioidFrequency Range: 50 Hz - 16 kHzSensitivity: -58 dB (1.3 mV) ref 1V at 1 Pa, 1 kHzOutput Impedance: 200 OhmsRecommended Load Impedance: >1 K OhmsAdjustable Controls: Low Cut Filter (200 Hz): Off, OnArticulation Boost (3 - 5 kHz): Off, OnConnector: 3-pin XLRMIncluded Accessory: 5/8" to 3/8" Thread AdapterDimensions (Microphone Only): 7.68" (195 mm) length, 2.36" (60 mm) diameterWeight (Microphone Only): 1.6 lbs (735 g) Universal Audio UNA-SD-1 Dynamic Vocal and Instrument Microphone.
