Description
The Electro-Voice ND46 is a big-capsule dynamic mic aimed squarely at drums, guitar cabs, and other loud, punchy sources. It’s part of the ND Series, which builds on EV’s original N/Dym capsule design to push sonic performance further, giving you a fuller, more detailed picture of whatever you’re miking.
What sets the ND46 apart on stage is its locking pivot mechanism: push a button, angle the head exactly where you need it, release, and it stays put. No more re-aiming a mic clip mid-soundcheck or watching your snare mic drift out of position during a show.
- Shock-mounted capsule: internally isolates the element from handling and stand noise, so low-end thumps stay out of the mix
- Humbucking coil: rejects electromagnetic hum, making it a safe choice near amp cabinets and power racks
- Memraflex grille: a tight-mesh, dent-resistant grille built to survive touring and heavy handling
- Locking pivot head: quick, repeatable positioning without fighting a stand clip
- Tuned frequency response: rich and rounded for drums and cabs, with the transient snap needed for percussive attack
Beyond drums, the ND46 handles general instrument duties well, and it’s especially effective on lower-frequency sources where its supercardioid pattern helps tighten up isolation and keep bleed under control. Whether you’re setting up a kit for a live gig or tracking cabs in the studio, this mic is engineered to get in place fast and stay reliable through hard use.
