Universal Audio SD-1 Standard Dynamic Cardioid Microphone

Get an up-close and broadcast-ready sound from your vocals and instruments with the SD-1 Dynamic 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 on 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.
