The Electro-Voice ND68 is a robust, high-performance dynamic supercardioid kick drum and low frequency instrument microphone.
The ND68 supercardioid polar pattern provides excellent acoustic isolation from nearby instruments, and its voicing characteristics deliver a deep low end, relaxed midrange, as well as high-frequency content for aggressive top-end punctuation.
The ND68 dynamic capsule contains a large Mylar diaphragm, which delivers a rich and detailed frequency response by combining its large surface area for tonal balance with its low-mass high-velocity material for exceptionally fast transient response.
Capable of handling 144 dB SPL, the ND68 will comfortably manage close micing of high SPL sound sources.
The ND68 capsule uses a humbucking coil that attenuates AC hum and electromagnetic interference.
ND dynamic mics can be used with confidence near speaker cabinets and EMF generating equipment racks.
The ND68 Memraflex grille is made of a durable tightmesh grille wire that withstands extraordinarily-rough treatment. Your microphone remains protected and looking good gig-after-gig, year-after-year.
For additional protection, the ND68 capsule contains a hydrophobic cloth membrane which prevents moisture and debris from reaching the diaphragm.

Microphone Use and Placement:

-Kick Drum:
Option: Remove front drum head and damp the drum shell with a pillow or blanket. Position the mic on the pillow or blanket a few inches in front of the batter head. Having the mic nearer the center of the head will give your sound more snap, and further out toward the shell will give your sound more warmth. As an alternative, position the mic on a small boom stand with the mic extended into the drum and at a 90 angle to the batter head.
Option 2: When using a drum with a front resonator head with a vent hole cut into it, position the mic on a small boom stand with the mic extended into the drum through the vent hole and at a 90 angle to the batter head. Aiming it more toward where the beater strikes the batter head will give your sound more snap, and aiming it further out toward the shell will give your sound more warmth.

-Large TomTom:
On double headed Toms, place mic over the top of drumhead 1-3″ and at a 45° angle to the drumhead surface and 1-2″ in from the drum edge. On single headed Toms, use above method or place mic inside Tom from underneath at a 90° angle from the center of head, 3-5″ away.

-Bass Guitar Speaker Cabinet:
Place microphone approximately 1-2″ from and at a 90°degree angle to the speaker cone. To reduce boominess, move the microphone off axis to the cone from 90° to 45°, or move mic from center of cone to either edge. Placing the mic nearer the voice coil (center of the cone) will give a brighter sound, and farther toward the outer edge will give you a warmer sound.
