Universal Audio has introduced three new microphones in the Standard Series line-up of dynamic microphones with Hemisphere Modeling, designed to easily capture drums and instruments.

Joining the award winning UA Sphere and handmade UA Bock microphones, Universal Audio continues to bring world-class sound and timeless design to the microphone market with the expansion of the Standard Series.

Key features include classic cardioid (SD 3), supercardioid (SD 5), and hypercardioid (SD 7) designs, ultra high SPL tolerance, and exceptional isolation. Additionally, each microphone is built with UA’s professional reliability, rugged all metal construction and stylish craftsmanship.

Standing out as extraordinary recording microphones on their own, all Standard Series models come with Hemisphere mic modeling software for Apollo DSP and Native for Mac and Windows.

UA Hemisphere Collection

The Hemisphere Mic Collection empowers music creators to select from 32 classic dynamic, condenser, and ribbon mic tones across six unique microphones in realtime, while also offering the ability to adjust powerful attributes like the mic’s filter, proximity effect, and off axis response before and after recording — featuring a level of control that would be impossible with traditional microphones.

The new Standard Series microphones are now shipping:

  • SD 3: Modern classic for snare, percussion, and guitar amps – $129 USD single / $349 USD 3-Pack.
  • SD 5: Get kick and bass tones from your favorite era – $199 USD.
  • SD 7: Capture toms and instruments with legendary clarity – $149 USD.
