Low-profile Dynamic Pivots into Tight Positions

When every inch of space counts, the EV ND44 drum and instrument microphone has you covered. This mic's low-profile capsule and offset XLR jack make it extremely easy to position on studio drums directly under cymbals and hi-hats, or on stage amps without fear of it being clipped and knocked over. The Electro-Voice ND44 is a large-diaphragm dynamic with a big, full sound and tight polar pattern to capture a realistic picture of your drum kit or guitar cab without excess stage and room noise. An internal shockmount helps to prevent sympathetic vibrations from eating up your headroom. Sweetwater knows drummers and live sound engineers will appreciate the ND44's included rim clamp, which lets you install and dismount your ND44 in seconds without screws.

Electro-Voice ND44 Drum/Instrument Microphone at a Glance:
  • The Electro-Voice ND series picks up where N/DYM left off
  • Innovative DRC-2 rim clamp secures to drum hoops without screws
The Electro-Voice ND series picks up where N/DYM left off

For years, EV's N/DYM series of live and studio dynamic microphones have been a beacon of hope to us low-enders and live-sounders. And now Electro-Voice promises to deliver even better performance with its EV ND collection. This line includes eight new vocal, drum, amp, and instrument mics to cover a wide range of stage and studio needs. Beneath the dent-resistant Memraflex grilles are redesigned large-diaphragm capsules with humbucking coils and internal shockmounts to capture a rich, musical sound with low noise - all on a budget. When you need dependable performance on a workingman's income, Sweetwater sound professionals encourage you to check out Electro-Voice ND microphones.

Innovative DRC-2 rim clamp secures to drum hoops without screws

Live sound engineers know that swapping out drum mics between bands can be a pain. Electro-Voice seeks to simplify this process with its non-fastening DRC-2 rim clamp - just pull to remove and push to reinstall. A ring loop allows you to mount the clamp to toms, floor toms, and snare drums with just one hand, and a series of soft teeth effectively locks the DRC-2 just where you need it.

Electro-Voice ND44 Drum/Instrument Microphone with Rim Clamp Features:
  • Large-diaphragm dynamic mic with a robust, detailed sound
  • Excels at close-miking drums, amps, and brass
  • Pivoting low-profile head takes up minimal space on toms and guitar cabs
  • Offset XLR jack stays out of the way
  • Tight cardioid polar pattern paints a realistic picture of your source with low room noise
  • Humbucking coil resists EMF noise
  • Included DRC-2 drum rim clamp installs/dismounts without screws
Get solid drum and guitar sounds on a budget with the low-profile Electro-Voice ND44 microphone!

Reviews

Big bottom and Just Enough Smack
We shot this mic out with its bigger brother, the ND46.
In my opinion the ND44 had that same great flavor as the old ND408 (which we included in the shoot out as well)
The mic is small and has a 150 degree flexible head so getting it into tight places is a breeze. Between the 44 and 46, I preferred the 44 on floor tom. The bottom end was a little more extended than the 46. The top end was essentially identical on my tests with it. This is now my floor tom mic.

Best Tom Microphone
I bought this for my Floor Tom and loved it decided to buy a few more for the rest of my Tom's very little cymbal bleed through nice full beautiful tone with or without EQ. I highly recommend this microphone to you, Drummer's out there.

Pretty cool little mic!
I received this very quickly from Sweetwater, and quickly opened the box to find this little beauty. I was a little concerned when examining the clip, since it seemed very "hard", with not much give. After figuring out the best way to attach it to a drum rim, I quickly started liking it very much.

We tested it on toms and snares over the last 2 weeks, and found that the low-end proximity was very tunable by moving the mic slightly closer or farther away from the heads, which made it very easy to reduce low end (or add it) to the snare in particular. The likely meme would likely be "placement is EQ"...

I have had a set of N/D308s and 408s for years, and bought this one when one of my 308s finally started having issues with output. I figured this would allow it to blend in with the remaining mics, but now I'm debating getting 4 more for live drums. Thanks, Sweetwater!

Great versatility for Snare, Toms, Guitar cabs, Brass
Great versatility for Snare, Toms and guitar cabs, and brass. Honestly like it more than my e906 and Beta 57, which surprised me. The pivot feature is really useful and the sound is just great one everything I have used it for, will be getting more of these for sure.
