▪ Memraflex grille resists denting
The Electro-Voice ND44 is a robust, high-performance
dynamic instrument microphone with a tight cardioid
polar pattern.
Designed for excellent performance on drums and
other rhythm section instruments, the ND44 capsule is
precisely tuned to deliver the aggressive and
punctuated sound these instruments produce, as well
as excellent isolation from the sound of other nearby
instruments.
The ND44 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.
The ND44 low profile pivoting head makes mic
placement around a drum set easy. The included
DRC-2 drum rim clamp is simple to use and eliminates
the need for an additional mic stand.
The ND44 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 ND44 Memraflex grille is made of a durable tight-
mesh grille wire that withstands extraordinarily-rough
treatment. Your microphone remains protected and
looking good gig-after-gig, year-after-year.
For additional protection, the ND44 capsule contains a
hydrophobic cloth membrane which prevents moisture
and debris from reaching the diaphragm.
ND44 is also designed to function very well as a guitar
cabinet mic. It can be stand-mounted using the
optional SAND-1 stand adapter on a mic stand, or
merely hung over the speaker cabinet with the grille
facing the speaker cone using its mic cable to suspend
it.
