help Electro-Voice ND66 FAQ
What is the Electro-Voice ND66 used for?
The Electro-Voice ND66 is a small-diaphragm condenser instrument microphone for live sound and studio recording. It is commonly suited to sources such as cymbals, acoustic instruments, and other detailed high-frequency material.
What does the ND66's pivoting capsule do?
The pivoting capsule lets the pickup angle change while the microphone body stays mounted. This is useful when positioning the mic toward a cymbal or instrument without moving the stand or clamp.
Is the Electro-Voice ND66 a dynamic microphone?
No. The ND66 is a condenser microphone with a small diaphragm, so it is designed for detailed instrument capture rather than the rugged moving-coil design of a typical dynamic mic.
Where might a sound engineer place an ND66?
An engineer might place it over a drum kit, near cymbals, or in front of an acoustic instrument. Its adjustable capsule is especially helpful when the available mounting position is fixed but the desired pickup angle needs fine adjustment.
