Included Hemisphere Mic Models
DN-57Introduced in 1965, the ubiquitous “57” is very likely the best selling microphone of all time. It can be a particularly good option when blended with other mics, such as ribbons and large diaphragm condensers, to achieve a more balanced sound. The DN - 57 i s based on a recent production model.
DN-545A predecessor to the mighty 57, this model employed the Unidyne III capsule. It was used extensively on The Beach Boys Pet Sounds , including Brian Wilson's lead vocal, and countless other recordings of that era.
DN-604The DN - 604 model is based on a current production European - made 604, which has become a standard on stages and studios around the world. This compact clip - on mic has a variety of uses, most notably snare and tom drums.
DN-409UThe 409 shines on many sources, but is particularly well - suited to electric guitar amps. It has a smooth top, and its low - end response below 100 Hz can help instruments and vocals sit nicely in the mix.
DN-4The DN - 4 is based on a modern compact instrument mic that wor ks great on toms, but is equally at home on guitar cabinets and snare drums. Universal Audio included a three - position filter to allow you to further sculpt the sound.
