ND96
▪ Excellent acoustic control on very loud stages:
exceptionally high gain before feedback
▪ Large diaphragm dynamic capsule creates a rich and
detailed frequency response
▪ Vocal presence emphasis switch selects between
alternate sonic signatures
▪ Shock-mounted capsule minimizes handling noise
▪ Humbucking coil guards against line hum
The Electro-Voice ND96 is a robust, high-performance
dynamic supercardioid vocal microphone.
Designed for excellent acoustic control on very loud
stages, the ND96 special structural and acoustical
designs create performance characteristics allowing
the microphone’s gain before feedback in a mix to be
significantly louder than most microphones.
The ND96 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 ND96 features a selectable vocal tuning that can
be engaged to reduce certain low-mid frequency areas
and emphasize key upper-midrange vocal presence
areas to increase intelligibility in high energy
reinforcement.
The ND96 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 ND96 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 ND96 Memraflex grille is made of a durable tight-
mesh grille wire that withstands extraordinarily-rough
treatment. Your microphone remains protected and
looking good gig-after-gig, year-after-year.
For additional protection, the ND96 capsule contains a
hydrophobic cloth membrane which prevents moisture
and debris from reaching the diaphragm.
