GUIDE

W I R E D

Microphones Include VOB™Technology for
Improved Vocal/Instrumental Clarity.

EV proved itself the leader of a sonic revolution, when, in 1986, EV introduced a
radical neodymium-based magnet structure to microphone design. For the first
time in history, engineers, musicians, and audio professionals were introduced to
extended frequency response and increased power output.

Well, the revolution isn’t over.

EV is now the only manufacturer to offer VOB™(Vocal-Optimized Bass) technology.
With these revolutionary technologies you’ll hear every note and every word -- without
the "muddiness" common in other models. They offer a clear vocal sound that will
"cut through the mix" and when used to mic acoustic or electric instruments you’ll
be amazed at the natural sound. Whether you’re miking an acoustic instrument,
a vintage guitar amp, bass amp, brass or percussion, N/DYM

®

microphones are
unparalleled in leaving your tone "intact." If you’re serious about tone you’ll love
N/DYM microphones.

Microphones

EV’s N/DYM Vocal and Instrument microphones provide professional quality
performance at a price working musicians can afford! N/DYM microphones
feature the newest, most progressive, cutting-edge innovation – VOB

™

(Vocal-Optimized Bass) technology. VOB™technology was developed
specifically to provide discerning audio professionals with greater vocal clarity
in the bass response. It efficiently counteracts the "proximity effect," or bass
boost, you hear in close-up microphone use, which tends to create "boomy"
of "muddy" vocals. The N/DYM vocal and instrument microphone system sets
the new standard for performance and value.

“What is

VOB?

VOB™and the Modern Musician/Engineer

Well, we’ve all been to concerts and shows where the vocals just don’t seem
to cut it. If you’re a performer you know how frustrating this experience can be,
especially after you’ve invested your time and money into putting on the best
performance possible. More often than not, poor vocal sound is the result of
technology inherent to the microphone. Some mics use reduced "acoustical
damping" in the diaphragm/resonator assembly to boost the bass response.
Unfortunately, this boost causes resonant peak and time domain distortions,
resulting in "muddy" or "boomy" sound.

VOB™technology counteracts the tendency of most microphones to get "muddy"
and "boomy" by reducing unwanted resonant peaks in frequency response – in much
the same manner as EV’s Ring-Mode Decoupling (RMD™) speaker technology.

Better Sound. Better Performance.

Regardless of what type of performance, or the size of the room, you want
your voice to be clearly heard. VOB™gives you that assurance with clean,
clear sound from lows to highs.

Choices

The N/DYM line gives you options for both vocal and instrument use.
From lead vocals to kick drum or guitar amp, get the mic that lets your
audience hear you at your best.

The N/D767a is the singer and engineers’ first choice for outstanding vocal
clarity in any live performance application. With low handling noise and VOB™
technology, the N/D767a sounds more like a condenser microphone allowing
clarity through all frequencies, reducing boominess and P-popping associated
with other dynamic mics in its class.

N/D767a

The N/D267a & N/D267as are tuned for high-quality vocal performance,
especially in live sound applications. EV’s VOB™ technology provides the
N/D267a & N/D267as with clear consistent sound without low-end distortion
found in competitive microphones.

head insures the perfect placement when mixing horns, drums, acoustic and
electric guitar. Even in the highest sound pressure level (SPL) situations the
N/D468 provides smooth and accurate response allowing the instrument to
sound natural in any live/studio mix.
