ND44 Dynamic cardioid instrument microphone
A tight-cardioid dynamic instrument mic built for drums and the rhythm section.
Clamp it on and let the kit hit. The ND44's tight cardioid pattern locks onto the drum in front of it and rejects the one beside it, while a large Mylar diaphragm tracks fast transients for an aggressive, punctuated sound. It handles over 140 dB SPL, so close-mic'd snares and toms stay clean. The low-profile pivoting head and included DRC-2 rim clamp drop it into tight kit positions: no extra stand.
Key features
Isolate the drum you want
Tight cardioid pattern rejects nearby kit and bleed.
Catch every hit
Large Mylar diaphragm tracks fast transients up to 140-plus dB SPL.
Lose the stand
Included DRC-2 rim clamp and low-profile pivoting head fit tight kits.
Work near the rig
Humbucking coil rejects AC hum and electromagnetic interference.
Take the abuse
Memraflex grille and hydrophobic membrane keep moisture and debris out.
Work beyond the kit
Tuned for drums and other rhythm section instruments, from snare to guitar and bass amps.
