Description
The Electro-Voice ND46 is a large-format dynamic mic engineered for the low-end grunt of drums and instrument cabinets, while staying tight enough to keep bleed under control on a busy stage. Its supercardioid pattern gives front-of-house engineers extra rejection off-axis, which matters when you’re fighting monitor wash and stage volume during a full-band mix.
What sets it apart on a rider is the locking pivot head — push the button, angle the capsule exactly where you need it against a kick beater or snare rim, then release to lock it in place. No fumbling with clips or re-angling mid-soundcheck.
- Shock-mounted capsule: isolates the diaphragm from stand and floor vibration, so low-end thumps stay off the PA
- Humbucking coil: rejects electromagnetic hum, making it safe to run near amp cabinets, DI boxes, and power-dense stage racks
- Memraflex grille: a tough, tight-mesh basket that shrugs off the bumps and drops that instrument mics take night after night
- Locking pivot mechanism: dial in placement fast and keep it there through a full set
- Tuned frequency response: full-bodied low end for drums and guitar cabs, with enough transient snap to keep attack articulate in the mix
The ND46 draws on Electro-Voice’s large-diaphragm N/Dym capsule design, refined for touring reliability and consistent tone from gig to gig. It’s a straightforward addition to any drum or amp mic locker where you need dependable low-frequency capture without adding setup headaches to the changeover.
