N/DYM® Dynamic Supercardioid

Concert V ocal Microphone

General Description:

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
design forms a smooth, extended frequency response with a warm,
open and transparent sound quality.

The N/D967
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 AcoustiDYM
Grip
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 (
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.

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 Lips touching the windscreen, and on axis with the 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.
