Electro Voice ND66

The ND66 is a premium small-diaphragm condenser microphone designed for capturing the intricate details of percussive and stringed instruments. Its self-biased condenser element delivers a clean, crisp, and highly responsive sound, ideal for instruments requiring fast transient capture and fine articulation.

Built for precise mic placement, the ND66 features a locking pivoting head-just push, rotate, and release to lock it in position. It also includes -10 dB and -20 dB pads to prevent overload on high-volume sources, and selectable high-pass filters at 75 Hz and 150 Hz to eliminate unwanted low-frequency rumble. Housed in a durable die-cast zinc body, this microphone balances studio-level performance with rugged field reliability.
