Shape your sound even after recording using the included filter, proximity and axis controls.

Authentic Modeling for Versatile Tone

Hemisphere modeling gives you a range of tones to suit any instrument. The plug-in provides emulations of industry-standard dynamics from Shure, Audix and Sennheiser, which you can use in real time with Apollo interfaces or natively in your DAW. Adjust filter, proximity and axis settings to control the sound even after tracking. Hemisphere modeling makes the SD-3 an extremely flexible single microphone solution for recording.

Premium Components for Premium Sound

Hand-selected dynamic capsules give the SD-3 a balanced, musical sound with extended frequency response. They are specially chosen to handle high sound pressure levels without distortion for recording loud instruments.

And with its mesh grill, ergonomic design and sleek finish, the SD-3 brings a touch of style to any mic locker. For pristine recordings wherever inspiration strikes, the SD-3 Standard dynamic is your essential microphone.
