Electro Voice N/D868 Kick Drum Mic £137.01
Description
The N/D868 is truly a top performer in any application. Whether in a live sound or studio environment, the N/ D868 is able to handle incredibly high sound pressure levels without distortion or overriding the input mixer. With a response specifically designed to “kick” the N/ D868 can be used “as is”—no additional EQ required. Electrovoice was the first to utilize the neodymium magnet structure, and it remains at the heart of our new N/DYM series of microphones. Experience the leader again for the first time and hear the difference.
Operation
The low frequency response of the N/D868 microphone varies with the distance from the sound source. Known as “proximity effect,” maximum bass response is produced in “close-up” use with the microphone 1/4 inch from the sound source. Normal bass response is experienced with working distances greater than 24 inches.Working close to the microphone will produce a more robust sound. Close up positioning of the microphone will also reduce the potential for feedback from the sound reinforcement system. Then, the bassboost provides an increase in overall microphone output level.The mixer gain may be proportionately reduced, resulting in a reduction of the system’s sensitivity to feedback caused by sound entering the microphone from the loudspeakers.
