Universal Audio MIC-UASD-1 SD-1 Dynamic Microphone White

The Universal Audio SD-1 Standard Dynamic Microphone brings UA's audio engineering expertise to a straightforward, no-fuss dynamic mic. Built around a cardioid capsule, the SD-1 is optimized for vocals in recording, podcasting, streaming, and live performance. What sets it apart from many dynamic microphones in its class are the two switches on the body: a Low Cut filter that tames proximity effect and room rumble, and an Articulation Boost that adds intelligibility and presence to the voice. These controls let users shape their tone at the source, reducing the need for post-processing.

Connecting via standard XLR, the SD-1 works with any preamp, mixer, or audio interface without requiring phantom power. Its cardioid pickup pattern focuses on sound directly in front of the capsule while rejecting noise from the sides and rear, making it effective in less-than-ideal acoustic environments. The white finish gives it a distinctive look on camera, and the build quality reflects Universal Audio's professional pedigree. For creators and engineers who want a reliable, great-sounding dynamic microphone with useful built-in flexibility, the SD-1 is a compelling option.
