The Universal Audio’s SD-7 is a hypercardioid dynamic microphone for drums and instruments. It features Hemisphere mic modelling technology, high SPL tolerance, and included accessories.

Capture Legendary Clarity

Easily record tom drums, guitar cabinets, horns, and more with a natural open tone. The SD-7 is a classic dynamic mic with high SPL handling, a hypercardioid polar pattern, and best-in-class Hemisphere mic modelling, delivering professional sound with precision in any environment.

Record Through Five Famous Instrument Mics

SD-7 leverages the same mic modelling technology found in Universal Audio’s award-winning UA Sphere microphones. The included Hemisphere Mic Collection uniquely provides the authentic sound of iconic dynamics from Sennheiser and Beyerdynamic.*

A Mic That Works for You

SD-7 and the Hemisphere Mic Collection plug-in function with or without UA hardware. It goes beyond subtle EQ curves, offering precise control over filter, proximity, and axis — an industry first. Set up the SD-7 and use the plug-in to quickly locate the “sweet spot” for a guitar amp or make horns stand out.

Discover Your Best Sounds

SD-7’s ultra-high SPL capability is ideal for loud, transient-rich sources, from rowdy stages to quiet studios. Its hypercardioid polar pattern allows you to back the mic away for added "air" without losing isolation.

Add a Pro Mic with Vintage Style

With rugged all-metal construction, a retro look, and hand-selected capsules, the SD-7 is a trusted companion that reliably captures your sources for a lifetime of professional performance.
