General Description: Technical Specifications:

The Electro-Voice N/D967 is a supercardioid dynamic microphone ideally suited for vocal use in live sound reinforcement, including large and small concert sound venues. The characteristics of the N/D967 have been optimized to dramatically reduce feedback under live performance conditions. The N/D967 utilizes an optimized neodymium alloy magnetic structure to provide unprecedented output sensitivity.

The N/DYM® magnet geometry combined with a reinforced diaphragm design forms a smooth, extended frequency response with a warm, open and transparent sound quality.

The N/D967 microphone features an advanced version of the AcoustiDYMTM shock-mount system. This unique vibration isolating system works as a multistage device. At low frequencies, a rear sound wave cancels the diaphragm motion, while at high frequencies, the specially designed rubber shock mount isolates the transducer from motion. Combining AcoustiDYMTM with the elastomeric Warm- GripTM handle and the windscreen bumper produces an advanced technology, vibration isolating system which dramatically reduces all forms of handling noise for the most demanding situations.

The N/D967 has a unique personality switch to fit the demands of live sound. In the normal position (-) the microphone exhibits a very smooth slightly rising response. This provides fuller sound and is preferred where the microphone is used several inches from the lips. In presence position ( ), the mid frequencies are slightly attenuated. This gives the microphone more cut and clarity when used very close to the sound source.

The microphone has a washable grille screen and two-stage pop filter to reduce wind blast noise. The stainless-steel retainer and hygenic pop filter make cleaning and disinfecting the grille screen a simple task.

The N/D967 has a broadband supercardioid polar pattern. Compared to the more traditional, heart-shaped cardioid pattern, a supercardioid pattern rejects more sound at the sides and rear overall. These characteristics tend to reduce feedback under live performance conditions, particularly with typical monitor speaker placement, ensuring superior gain-before-feedback in live applications.
