Three SD-3 dynamic mics — the smart way to mic a drum kit. The Universal Audio SD-3 3-Pack bundles three identical SD-3 cardioid dynamic microphones with the included Hemisphere mic modeling software — the perfect setup for snare top + snare bottom + tom, or snare + two toms, or any three-mic dynamic recording configuration.

At a Glance

Overview

Buying three SD-3 mics individually is a common pattern for drummers and recording engineers — the SD-3 is small enough and light enough to mount in tight kit spaces, and Hemisphere mic modeling means each mic can be the "right" model for its source: DN-57 on snare top, DN-7 on snare bottom, DN-20 on a tom, for example. The 3-Pack delivers this at meaningful savings versus three individual mics.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Hemisphere Modeling do?

Hemisphere puts professional emulations of classic studio microphones inside the mic, so a single affordable mic can sound like several legendary models. You can audition and change the model to match the source.

Is this good for podcasting, streaming, and home studios?

Yes. These mics are built for vocals, podcasting, streaming, and project-studio recording, giving home creators access to pro mic tones without a full mic locker.

Does it need phantom power?

Condenser models need +48V phantom power. Dynamic models do not, though the modeling features work best with adequate clean gain.
