Multi-micing compact drum kits? No problem. The Electro-Voice ND44 Dynamic Tight Cardioid Instrument Microphone has your back. Thanks to its ultra-discrete design, this dynamic microphone will make your job easy. It enables you to achieve optimized recordings without taking up too much “real-estate”. Its ability to blend in automatically eradicates the risk of “red-light-fever” taking over in the studio.
Not only will your recordings sound great, the performances will be even better with this microphone in your locker! Snares, toms, guitar cabinets – you name it, if the ND44 can clip on it, it’ll sound great. Thanks to its large-diaphragm, the dynamic microphone reproduces any instrument with an excellent degree of accuracy.
The inclusion of a cardioid polar pattern guarantees a tight, focused pick-up with incredible off-axis rejection of up to 6dB at the sides. This proves particularly useful in live recording scenarios and will make your job easier when it comes to mixing!
Constructed from a robust die-cast zinc handle with a dent-resistant Memraflex grille and ABS-Polycarbonate head, the ND44 is a real workhorse. Just as comfortable on-stage as it is in the studio, this microphone is able to withstand the vigors of live performance and continued use, delivering consistent, reliable results night after night. After one session, you’ll soon realize this is the perfect blend between power and performance.
Recordings sound great and your life is made easier. When you’re recording, it can be a real pain when something doesn’t sound right. Especially in complex set-ups where multiple microphones are involved, it becomes a delicate task to make minor adjustments without affecting the position and balance of the rest. Electro-Voice remedies this issue with its innovative DRC-2 rim clamp. Installation and removal are as simple as its push and pull design. The series of soft-teeth incorporated on the clamp ensure a firm grip without the risk of superficial damage to your instrument. This enables you to close-mic the instrument with absolute precision, minimizing potential issues such as bleed.
ND series microphones Electro-Voice are titans for their innovative, iconic designs, and the ND series of microphones are in a league of their own. The ND series consists of eight premium quality microphones, with four designed specifically for instruments and another four for vocals.
