Electro-Voice N/D767a User manual

Technical Specifications:
The N/D767a presents optimal performance in a live
sound environment. The 767a vocal microphone utilizes
EV’s VOB™ (Vocally Optimized Bass) technology to
provide the performer with reduced low-end distortion
and eliminates the muddiness found in other
microphones. Combined with EV’s industry first
neodymium based magnet structure, the N/D767a
offers the power and clarity to “cut through the mix.”
Operation
The low frequency response of the N/D767a
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.

Standard Placement & Use Guidelines
1.Always point the microphone at the desired source of sound, and away from any unwanted sources.
2.Themicrophoneshould be locatedclose to thesound source tominimize interference fromotherpotential soundsources.
3.Usethe 3-to-1rulewhen using multiplemicrophones. Place eachmicrophone three timesfarther from othermicrophonesas fromthe
desired sound source.
4.Minimizeover-handling ofthe microphone toreduce unwantedmechanicalnoise.
5.Working close to the microphone will increase the bass tone and also provide increased gain-before-feedback.
