Electro-Voice N/D967 User manual

Technical Specifications:
The Electro-Voice N/D967 is a supercardioid dynamic microphone
ideallysuitedforvocaluseinlivesoundreinforcement,includinglarge
and small concert sound venues. The characteristics of the N/D967
have been optimized to dramatically reduce feedback under live
performanceconditions. TheN/D967utilizesanoptimized neodymium
alloy magnetic structure to provide unprecedented output sensitivity.
TheN/DYM® magnetgeometry combined with a reinforced diaphragm
design forms a smooth, extended frequency response with a warm,
open and transparent sound quality.
The N/D967 microphone features an advanced version of the
AcoustiDYMTM shock-mount system. This unique vibration isolating
system works as a multistage device. At low frequencies, a rear
soundwavecancelsthediaphragmmotion,whileathighfrequencies,
the specially designed rubber shock mount isolates the transducer
from motion. Combining AcoustiDYMTM with the elastomeric Warm-
GripTM handle and the windscreen bumper produces an advanced
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 (-) the microphone exhibits a very
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.
Themicrophonehas 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.

General Description:
N/D967
N/DYM®Dynamic Supercardioid
Concert Vocal Microphone
Key Features:
• Highest gain-before-feedback performance
vocalmicrophone
• Optimized response for live performance
• EV-exclusive personality switch shapes
sound
• High N/DYM® sensitivity
• Unique removable front grille assembly and
pop filter for easy hygenic cleaning
• Superior multistage shock mount for un-
matched low handling noise
• Warm Grip handle for more comfortable feel
TheN/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 withtypicalmonitor speakerplacement,ensuring
superior gain-before-feedback in live applications.

Standard Placement & Use Guidelines
1.Always point the microphone at the desired source of sound, and away from any unwanted sources.
2.Themicrophone shouldbe locatedclose tothe soundsource tominimize interference from other potentialsound sources.
3.Use the3-to-1 rulewhen usingmultiple microphones.Place each microphone three timesfarther fromother microphonesas fromthe
desired sound source.
4.Minimize over-handlingof the microphoneto reduceunwanted mechanical noise.
5.Working close to the microphone will increase the bass tone and also provide increased gain-before-feedback.
