It can be particularly useful when blended with other microphones, such as ribbons and large-diaphragm condensers, to achieve a more balanced sound. The DN-57 is based on a recent production model.DN-545 Predecessor to the mighty 57, this model used the Unidyne III capsule. It was used extensively on The Beach Boys’ “Pet Sounds,” including Brian Wilson’s lead vocal, and countless other recordings from that era.DN-604: The DN-604 model is based on a current production 604 microphone, made in Europe, which has become a standard in stages and studios worldwide. This compact clip-on microphone has several applications, especially for snare drums and toms.DN-409U The 409 model shines on many sources, but is particularly suitable for electric guitar amplifiers. It has a soft sound, and its low-end response below 100 Hz can help instruments and vocals blend well into the mix.DN-4 The DN-4 is based on a modern compact instrument microphone that works very well on toms, but is equally suitable for guitar cabinets and snare drums. Universal Audio has included a three-position filter to allow you to further shape the sound.Key FeaturesCompact dynamic microphone for drums, percussion, and instrumentsCardioid polar pattern that rejects off-axis soundsGet the sounds of the most popular dynamic microphones with Hemisphere microphone modelingHand-selected dynamic capsules to handle extreme SPLsIncludes stand and caseRobust all-metal construction and elegant UA craftsmanship
