Technical Specifications:

Designed specifically for horns, drums, acoustical and

electric guitars, the N/D468 provides a smooth, natural

sound, capturing the excitement of the instrument. The

supercardioid pattern provides superior rejection and

acoustic isolation in any application. An innovative EV

design harnesses the increased power of a neodymium

based magnet design, allowing a large-diameter voice

coil (up to 50% larger than other mics) for dynamic, efficient

microphone performance. N/DYM® offers the power and

clarity to “cut through the mix.” Whatever your instrument

application the N/D468 is sure to be a top performer.

Operation

The low frequency response of the N/D468 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. When close-

miced, the bass-boost 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.

Instrumental Microphone Standard Placement & Use Guidelines

1. Always point the microphone at the desired source of sound, and away from any unwanted sources.

2.The microphone should be located close to the sound source to minimize interference from other potential sound sources.

3. Use the 3-to-1 rule when using multiple microphones. Place each microphone three times farther from other microphones as from the

desired sound source.

4. Minimize over-handling of the microphone to reduce unwanted mechanical noise.

5.Working close to the microphone will increase the bass tone and also provide increased gain-before-feedback.

Microphone Use and Placement

Please note that micing techniques are a matter of personal preference. These are merely guidelines to assist in the placement of the

microphone to gain optimal performance.

Usage Optimal Placement

Electric Guitar and Bass Guitar Amplifier Place microphone approximately 1-2" from and at a 90°degree angle to the speaker cone.

To reduce boominess, move the microphone off axis to the cone from 90° to 45°, or move

mic from center of cone to either edge.

Tom-Toms On double headed Toms place mic over the top of drum 1-3" and at a 45° angle to the

drum surface and 1-2" in from the drum edge. On single headed Toms use above method

or place mic inside Tom from underneath at a 90° angle from the center of head, 3-5",

away.

Snare Drum Place mic 1-3" above the heads, 1-2" in from the rim. Aim each mic at the top heads

angled down about 45°. If the drum rings, tape deadening material to the head or use

damping rings. For more “snare” sound place a 2nd mic underneath aimed up at the

bottom of head.

Cymbals Place microphone one to two feet above the top of cymbals.

High-Hat Place 5 inches above outside edge at a 45° down angle.

Brass 6-24" away, and on axis with the bell of the instrument.

Acoustic Guitar Place mic 6-12" from where finger board joins the body.
