Electro-Voice ND66 Condenser Cardioid Instrument Microphone

Small Diaphragm Condenser Microphone for Detailed Instrument Capture

The Electro-Voice ND66 is a small-diaphragm condenser microphone designed to deliver accurate, articulate sound for instruments and vocals in both live sound and studio environments. Built for precision and flexibility, it excels at capturing fast transients and fine detail, making it a reliable choice for percussion, strings, acoustic instruments, and voice.

Pivoting Head Design for Precise Microphone Placement

One of the defining features of the ND66 is its locking pivoting head, which allows precise positioning without the need for additional mounting hardware. This makes it especially useful in tight or complex setups such as drum kits, percussion rigs, and crowded stages where exact mic placement directly affects sound quality.

Clear and Controlled Cardioid Pickup Pattern

The cardioid polar pattern focuses on sound arriving directly in front of the microphone while reducing pickup from the sides and rear. This helps minimize bleed from nearby instruments and stage noise, resulting in cleaner recordings and improved gain-before-feedback in live applications.

Built-In Pad and High-Pass Filter for Versatility

The ND66 includes selectable pad and high-pass filter options that allow the microphone to adapt to different sound sources and environments. The pad helps manage high sound pressure levels from loud instruments, while the high-pass filter reduces low-frequency rumble and unwanted stage noise.

Ideal for Drums, Acoustic Instruments, and Voice

This microphone is well suited for drum overheads, hi-hats, snare, toms, acoustic guitar, piano, stringed instruments, and vocal applications that benefit from clarity and detail. Its fast transient response ensures accurate reproduction of percussive attacks and natural tonal balance.

Tour-Ready Construction with Included Accessories

Designed for regular professional use, the ND66 features a durable build suitable for touring and frequent setup changes. Included accessories such as a windscreen, mic clip, and protective gig bag make it easy to transport and deploy while keeping the microphone protected.
