Electro Voice ND44

The ND44 is a rugged, high-performance dynamic instrument microphone designed for drums and other rhythm section applications. Featuring a tight cardioid polar pattern, it delivers focused, aggressive sound with exceptional isolation from surrounding instruments. Its large-diaphragm capsule ensures a rich, detailed frequency response tailored to capture the punch and presence of snare drums, toms, and percussion.

The microphone's low-profile rotating head and included DRC-2 drum rim clamp offer versatile placement options, even in tight or complex setups. Built to withstand rough handling, the ND44 features a Memraflex dent-resistant grille, humbucking coil to reject line hum, and a durable die-cast zinc and ABS polycarbonate body. With its road-ready construction and precise tuning, the ND44 is a go-to choice for live and studio setups alike.
