ND86
▪ Excellent acoustic control in even the largest of
venues: present, smooth and detailed sound
▪ Large diaphragm dynamic capsule creates a rich and
detailed frequency response
▪ Shock-mounted capsule minimizes handling noise
▪ Humbucking coil guards against line hum
▪ Memraflex grille resists denting
The Electro-Voice ND86 is a robust, high-performance
dynamic supercardioid vocal microphone.
Designed for excellent acoustic control in even the
largest of venues, the ND86 capsule is precisely tuned
to deliver present, smooth and detailed sound, as well
as superior isolation from sound on the stage.
The ND86 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 ND86 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 ND86 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 ND86 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 ND86 capsule contains a
hydrophobic cloth membrane which prevents moisture
and debris from reaching the diaphragm.
