The Electro-Voice ND46 is a robust, high-performance
dynamic supercardioid instrument microphone.
Designed for capturing a wide variety instrument
sounds, the ND46 capsule is precisely tuned to deliver
a lively and balanced sound, as well as excellent
isolation from the sound of other nearby instruments.
The ND46 dynamic capsule contains a large Mylar
diaphragm which delivers a rich and detailed
frequency response by combining its large surface
area for tonal balance with its low-mass high-velocity
material for exceptionally fast transient response.
The ND46 locking pivoting head makes mic placement
easy and precise. Achieve ideal mic placement by
pushing its button, pivoting the head into position,
then releasing the button to lock the head's position.
The ND46 capsule uses a humbucking coil that
attenuates AC hum and electromagnetic interference.
ND dynamic mics can be used with confidence near
speaker cabinets and EMF generating equipment
racks.
The ND46 Memraflex grille is made of a durable tight-
mesh grille wire that withstands extraordinarily-rough
treatment. Your microphone remains protected and
looking good gig-after-gig, year-after-year.
For additional protection, the ND46 capsule contains a
hydrophobic cloth membrane which prevents moisture
and debris from reaching the diaphragm.
The ND46 also features an innovative capsule shock-
mount system consisting of a 4-point suspension
around the circumference of the capsule combined
with a tuned pneumatic pump at the capsule base,
offering superior handling noise reduction to eliminate
mechanical vibrations and noise in the mix.
