Supercardioid Large-diaphragm Dynamic Microphone with Internal Shockmount and Memraflex Grille
The bass drum is a difficult instrument to get right. The Electro-Voice ND68 takes a lot of the guesswork out of the equation by giving you a pre-EQ'd sound, with plenty of heft and attack, for set-and-forget live sound and studio work - often without the need for additional EQ. The ND68's supercardioid pickup provides good isolation to keep cymbals and stage amps from bleeding into your signal. A large-diaphragm element with a high 144dB SPL rating, powerful bass response, and a musical midrange contour helps your kick punch cleanly through the densest of mixes. And bonus: the ND68's extended low end makes it a winner for upright bass and cello, Leslie cabs, and floor toms. If you're looking for a kick drum/LF mic you don't have to finesse, engineers agree that the Electro-Voice ND68 is a good place to start.
The Electro-Voice ND series picks up where N/DYM left off
For years, EV's N/DYM series of live and studio dynamic microphones have been a beacon of hope to us low-enders and live-sounders. And now Electro-Voice promises to deliver even better performance with its EV ND collection. This line includes eight new vocal, drum, amp, and instrument mics to cover a wide range of stage and studio needs. Beneath the dent-resistant Memraflex grilles are redesigned large-diaphragm capsules with humbucking coils and internal shockmounts to capture a rich, musical sound with low noise - all on a budget. When you need dependable performance on a workingman's income, sound professionals encourage you to check out Electro-Voice ND microphones.
