ND66 Condenser cardioid instrument microphone
A small-diaphragm condenser instrument mic for percussion and strings, with pads and filters built in.
Catch the detail other mics miss. The ND66's self-biased small-diaphragm condenser element responds to the fast, complex nature of percussion and strings for a clean, crisp, detailed sound. Selectable -10 and -20 dB pads keep loud, high-transient sources from overloading the element, and switchable 75 Hz and 150 Hz high-pass filters clear out low-end rumble. The locking rotating head sets placement in tight spots: push, rotate, release. Overheads, hi-hat, acoustic guitar, percussion: get the air and the attack.
