"Is The Universal Audio SD-1 Microphone The SM7B Killer? This latest offering comes as part of UA’s recent foray into the mic market offering modern takes on classic designs, and the SD-1 certainly ticks all the boxes for those looking for a creator mic. Swivel yoke-style mount? Check. Signal shaping switches? Check. Built-in pop protection? Check. This one has it all, plus an attractive vintage white finish to set it apart from the rest." - Production Expert
“Whenever my musician buddies or clients looking to start recording at home ask me what their first mic purchase should be, I often propose the Shure SM7B cardioid dynamic. This decades-old design has been a workhorse for broadcasters and audio engineers. It’s inexpensive, durable, and surprisingly flexible in the studio. But my (ahem) standard reply may be changing after reviewing this new SD-1 Standard Dynamic microphone from Universal Audio. …In most of my studio testing, I found the SD-1 to have tremendous flexibility in its neutral and natural sound, with explicit strengths in tracking vocals and broadcast-style dialog.” - Tape Op
“For the price, the Universal Audio SD-1 is an excellent and well-rounded dynamic microphone. Besides being a real eye-catcher, the cream-colored microphone gave me excellent results with voice and vocal recordings, but also on acoustic guitar and percussion instruments.” - Gearnews
