detailed frequency response

▪ Shock-mounted capsule minimizes handling noise

▪ Humbucking coil guards against line hum

▪ Memraflex grille resists denting

The Electro-Voice ND86 is a robust, high-performance dynamic supercardioid vocal microphone. Designed for excellent acoustic control in even the largest of venues, the ND86 capsule is precisely tuned to deliver present, smooth and detailed sound, as well as superior isolation from sound on the stage. The ND86 dynamic capsule contains a large Mylar diaphragm which delivers a rich and detailed frequency response by combining its large surface area for tonal balance with its low-mass high-velocity material for exceptionally fast transient response. The ND86 features an innovative capsule shock-mount system consisting of a 4-point suspension around the circumference of the capsule combined with a tuned pneumatic pump at the capsule base, offering superior handling noise reduction to eliminate mechanical vibrations and noise in the mix. The ND86 capsule uses a humbucking coil that attenuates AC hum and electromagnetic interference. ND dynamic mics can be used with confidence near speaker cabinets and EMF generating equipment racks. The ND86 Memraflex grille is made of a durable tightmesh grille wire that withstands extraordinarily-rough treatment. Your microphone remains protected and looking good gig-after-gig, year-after-year. For additional protection, the ND86 capsule contains a hydrophobic cloth membrane which prevents moisture and debris from reaching the diaphragm.
