Included Hemisphere Mic Models

DN-7

Renowned for its use on high-profile records by everyone from Michael Jackson to Metallica, this ubiquitous cardioid dynamic mic can also be found in radio and broadcasting studios around the world. By adjusting the AXIS control, you can get the sound of the mic without a windscreen — a “studio secret” favored by pro engineers.* 

DN-20

This industry-standard broadcasting mic has applications ranging from vocals to kick drums. Its presence boost and high frequency dip minimize sibilance, and with the filter switch you can get additional tone shaping by cutting below 400 Hz.

RB-77DX Satin

Used by musical icons such as Bing Crosby, Ray Charles, Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, B.B. King, and Johnny Cash — this classic ribbon mic has also graced the desks of famous TV personalities such as David Letterman and Larry King.* 

DN-88

This all-purpose dynamic mic delivers smooth, even sound and is known for being flattering, but not overpowering. Famously used as a vocal mic by Phil Collins, it is also effective on bass guitar amps and tom drums.

DN-441

Favored by artists ranging from Fleetwood Mac and Tom Petty to Tame Impala, this large-diaphragm supercardioid mic provides balanced natural sound for vocal and instrument recording. It is also widely used in radio, television reporting, and live sound applications.*
