Explore Hemisphere’s virtual mic locker
Included with your new SD-1 microphone, the Hemisphere modeling plug-in takes the concept of UA’s Sphere software and applies it to cardioid mics. It spans models of five iconic dynamic mics from the world’s most respected manufacturers. Whether you’re looking for the industry-standard podcast sound or other unique sounds, Hemisphere has you covered — and then some. Better still, Hemisphere is compatible with every Universal Audio Standard series microphone and includes modeled microphones optimized for the SC-1 large-diaphragm condenser, the SD-1 dynamic mic, and SP-1 pencil condenser.
Enjoy total control with Hemisphere
There’s more to like about Hemisphere beyond the larger-than-life microphone models. The plug-in also offers proximity, axis, and filter parameters. The proximity knob virtually increases or decreases the distance of your microphone from the source, so you don’t have to physically move the mic to achieve an optimal sound. Furthermore, the axis control virtually alters the axis at which the mic is placed — an industry first. This control helps tame harsh, unwanted frequencies on your guitar amps, snare drums, and much more. Most importantly, Hemisphere is so powerful that you can change the filter, proximity, and axis controls even after you’re done tracking. Using Hemisphere is the easiest way to get perfect recordings the first time.
Sculpt your sound at the source
The SD-1 comes with two passive switches mounted to the back of the microphone. The selectable low-cut switch cuts rumble below 200Hz out of the equation. Turn on the articulation boost switch, and you’ll be rewarded with a satisfying bump between 3–5kHz. Use them together or separately to achieve clear and present recordings like never before. The SD-1 offers the perfect sound for any source.
