Description
The Electro-Voice ND68 is purpose-voiced for kick drums, giving front-of-house engineers a head start with tight lows, relaxed midrange, and a snappy top end that cuts through a dense mix without excessive tweaking. It’s equally at home on bass guitar cabinets and large toms wherever you need controlled low-frequency pickup on stage or in the studio.
Built around EV’s large-diaphragm N/Dym capsule design, the ND68 extends low-frequency response so the full weight of a kick or bass cab translates through the PA. It handles extreme SPL with ease, managing close-miked transients and sustained wave fronts up to 144 dB without breaking up — a key spec for touring rigs and loud stages.
Practical touches make this a rider-friendly workhorse: a humbucking coil rejects line hum, so you can position it near speaker cabinets, lighting racks, and other EMF sources with confidence. The Memraflex grille is built to shrug off the bumps and abuse that come with drum kit placement night after night.
- Supercardioid dynamic capsule voiced specifically for kick drums and bass instruments
- Extended low-frequency response for deep, full-bodied low end
- Handles up to 144 dB SPL for close-miking high-output sources
- Humbucking coil resists hum from nearby power and EMF sources
- Durable Memraflex tight-mesh grille resists denting under rough handling
Part of EV’s ND Series, the ND68 shares the family’s focus on sound quality, mechanical durability, and simplified mic placement — making it a reliable, low-fuss choice for engineers building out a scalable, gig-ready drum mic setup.
