The Electro-Voice ND66 is a robust, high-performance
small diaphragm condenser instrument microphone.
The ND66 contains a self-biased small diaphragm
condenser element which is vividly responsive to the
complex dynamic nature of percussive and stringed
instruments, delivering a clean, crisp and detailed
sound.
With the ND66 exclusive locking rotating head, achieve
ideal mic placement in virtually any situation by merely
pushing a button, rotating the head into position, then
releasing the button to lock the head's position.
ND66 contains selectable -10 and -20dB pads which
provide the necessary gain reduction to prevent the
mic element from overloading when micing very loud
or high-transient sound sources.
ND66 contains selectable high pass filters which are
strategically chosen at 75Hz and 150Hz to eliminate
bothersome low frequencies from the signal path.
