Used in countless Hip-Hop and Rock recordings, it offers an extended low-frequency pickup with a clear high-end presence to enhance the attack.DN-6 The DN-6 model is based on an American snare microphone that has become a benchmark for studio recordings. With its deep bass and heavily sculpted sound, it works particularly well for tight, syncopated Metal genres.DN-52: The DN-52 model is based on a current production version of the American-style 52 snare microphone. This model offers extended low-frequency capture and an overall balanced sound, useful on almost any snare or bass instrument.DN-SUB: The DN-SUB model is based on a studio trick that uses a full-range speaker wired in reverse to capture sub frequencies in an extended way. Many engineers blend this sound along with a traditional microphone to add weight to snare drums and bass cabinets — now an easier task with just one microphone and the Hemisphere plug-in.Key FeaturesCompact dynamic microphone for snares, bass amps, and other low-frequency sourcesGet the sounds of the most popular snare mics with Hemisphere mic modelingSupercardioid polar pattern rejects off-axis sounds while maintaining low-frequency presenceHand-selected dynamic capsules to handle extreme SPLsIncludes integrated stand and caseRugged all-metal construction and UA craftsmanship*Hemisphere plug-in is available upon product registration.
