The N/D167’s acoustic response presents optimal
performance in a live sound environment.
Experience the advanced technology of an
Electro-Voice N/DYM

®

microphone, you won't
settle for anything less.An innovative EV design
harnesses the increased power of a neodymium based
magnet design, allowing for dynamic, efficient
microphone performance.The N/D167 offers power
and clarity to “cut through the mix.”

• Cardioid pattern for superior feedback rejection

and acoustic isolation

• Neodymium based magnet structure provides

greater sensitivity and signal-to-noise ratio

• Warm Grip™handle for more comfortable feel

• Comes with stand adapter and zippered “gig” bag

Operation

The low frequency response of the N/D167
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.
In addition, the Limited Warranty for the acoustic system
contained in the microphone shall apply for the life of this
product, defines as a period of ten (10) years from the date
