Description

The ND44 is Electro-Voice’s answer to the everyday hassle of miking drums and cabinets: a lightweight dynamic cardioid mic that goes on quickly, stays put, and delivers a full, punchy sound without fuss.

Quiet near loud gear: A humbucking coil rejects hum, so you can position it close to speaker cabinets and other EMF-heavy equipment without picking up noise.
Built to take a hit: The Memraflex grille uses a tight-mesh design that shrugs off dents and rough handling on stage or in transit.
Fast, flexible placement: A low-profile head with dual pivot points lets you angle the capsule exactly where you need it, even in tight drum setups.
Clip that actually helps: The included DRC-2 drum rim clamp has a soft, compliant grip and a finger-loop design, making one-handed mounting on a rim quick and secure.
Tuned for the job: Frequency response is shaped for rich, well-rounded tone on drums and guitar cabinets, with sharp transient response so hits and picks stay defined.

This mic is part of EV’s ND Series, built around a large-diaphragm capsule that pushes the original N/Dym design further in sonic performance. Each model in the line targets specific venues, stage volumes, and applications, and the ND44’s mechanical design in particular is aimed at solving the placement headaches that come with tracking or reinforcing toms, snares, and cabs — making setup faster for engineers and musicians alike.
