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 is 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 works 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.Key Features Compact dynamic microphone for drums, percussion, and instruments Cardioid polar pattern rejects off-axis sounds Get the sounds of popular dynamic mics with Hemisphere mic modeling Hand-selected dynamic capsules to handle extreme SPL Includes standmount and storage pouch Rugged all-metal construction and stylish UA craftsmanship
