The Electro-Voice N/D868 is advertised as able to do one thing, but doing it really well. That one thing is the close-micing of a kick drum. In this video we will listen to how well in fact it does this. In the next kick mic video we will compare the Electro-Voice N/D868 with the Shure Beta52 side by side.

If you are looking to purchase a dedicated mic for kick drum do not miss these videos. They will illustrate how well each of these two mics perform for the mix as well as what kind of sound each one provides. Of course, they are not the only mics out there for recording kick drum but they are two of the most popular for that application.
