Electro Voice ND868

The ND/868 has been my go to kick
drum mic for years now for one reason: it delivers everything a kick drum can
deliver and it doesn’t overly accent any one range. It’s not slappy, it’s not
clicky, it’s not boomy, it’s not midrange forward or back, it delivers a
malleable sound that I can hammer into anything I need during tracking or
mixdown, for virtually any style of music. On bass cabs, it is equally useful.
I have actually had good results using this 868 on a few voices! It can be a
big sounding vocal mic, don’t be shy…experiment.
Conclusion: A serious mic, I cannot
imagine being without my ND868 as it’s so familiar to me and so easy to get a
good sound of. A bit more versatile than you would think, it’s at least great
as a neutral kick drum mic.
