N/D267a & N/D267as

N/DYM® Dynamic Cardioid

V ocal Microphone

General Description:

The acoustic response of the N/D267a and 267as presents
optimal performance in a live sound environment. The new
“vocally optimized bass” or VOB™ technology provides the
performer with reduced resonant distortion at low
frequencies. Critical damping of the low frequency resonant
peak has resulted in a microphone that replaces the
“muddiness” found in competitive models with greater
warmth and increased vocal clarity. The increased clarity
permits greater working distances than other competitive
microphones, and ensures a clean, clear, consistent sound
that “cuts through the mix.”

Operation

The low frequency response of the N/D267a and 267as
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.

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

Vocals Zero to six inches from the windscreen, and on axis with the microphone.
Spoken Word Five to ten inches from the windscreen, and on axis with the microphone.

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.
