Description

The Electro-Voice ND68 was built around one job: making a kick drum sound massive without forcing you to fight the mixer afterward. Its voicing leans into tight low end, pulled-back mids, and highs with some bite—so the tone you hear at soundcheck is close to the tone you keep. That same low-frequency extension makes it a solid pick for bass cabs and floor toms too, not just the kick.

Humbucking coil design keeps line hum out, even parked near amp racks or speaker cabinets
Memraflex mesh grille shrugs off dents and rough handling on tour or in a busy studio
Handles up to 144 dB SPL, so close-miking loud transients won’t overload the capsule
Large-diaphragm capsule (part of EV’s ND Series lineup) delivers refined sonic detail across the range

This bundle pairs the ND68 with a Goby Labs GBD-300 short boom stand—an all-metal design with die-cast zinc handles and metal-on-metal threaded hardware, built to take a beating without loosening up. A center-locking boom handle keeps balance steady, extra-long legs add stability low to the ground, and a built-in stomp tube in the base keeps things from bending if someone steps on the legs mid-set. It’s sized right for kick drums and guitar amps, and rated heavy-duty enough to also carry large-diaphragm condensers if you repurpose it. A 20′ XLR cable rounds out the kit, so you’re ready to place the mic and run the line without digging through a cable bin first.
