General Product Description

The new N/D767a presents optimal performance in a live
sound environment.The 767a vocal microphone utilizes EV’s
new VOB

™

(vocally optimized bass) technology to provide
the performer with reduced low-end distortion and
eliminates the muddiness found in other microphones.
Combined with EV’s industry first neodymium based
magnet structure, the new N/D767a offers the power and
clarity to “cut through the mix.”

• VOB™technology provides tailored bass response for

controlled “proximity effect” and exceptional vocal clarity

• Supercardioid pattern for superior feedback rejection

and acoustic isolation.

• Multistage shock mount for unmatched

low-handling noise.

• Neodymium based magnet structure provides greater

sensitivity and signal-to-noise ratio.

• Warm Grip™handle for more comfortable feel.

Operation

The low frequency response of the N/D767a 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-talked, 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.

Vocal 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.

Warranty

This product is guaranteed against malfunction from any
cause for two (2) years from the date of original purchase.
