Electro-Voice launches new ND Series microphones

Electro-Voice has launched the new ND Series of wired vocal and instrument microphones at NAMM 2016. The successor to the N/Dym Series, the new ND Series expands the previous product offering with four vocal and four instrument models for live performance and studio applications.

 

At the heart of the new models is a new large-diaphragm capsule design. Vocalists can select a specific ND Series model to provide optimal results according to venue size and/or stage volume. The series features dent-resistant Memraflex grilles, humbucking coils to guard against EMF noise and shock-mounted capsules to minimize handling noise.

 

The ND Series dynamic vocal microphones are designed to address three distinct application scenarios, and are differentiated by polar pattern, capsule voicing and grille shape.

 

The ND76 and ND76S (with on/off switch) are a solution for small to medium-sized venues, with a cardioid polar pattern and pronounced upper-mid-range presence. The ND86 is designed for large concert and festival-sized venues, with a controlled supercardioid polar pattern and reduced sensitivity to specific off-axis frequencies, particularly stage noise.

 

The ND96 is a solution for loud stages of any size, with high gain-before-feedback that pushes vocals through the mix. It has a supercardioid polar pattern, a tailored frequency curve and a distinctive squared-off grille which allows the singer to get as close as possible to the capsule.

 

The ND Series instrument models are designed for both live sound and studio work. Three dynamic models and one small-diaphragm condenser model are available, each optimized for their applications by polar pattern, capsule voicing and mechanical design.

 

The ND44 is a lightweight clip-on dynamic mic that can be used for tom-tom and snare drums. The mounting clip ensures quick, secure placement on drum rims, while a compact form factor and low-profile angling head allow for precise placement in other applications. It is equally capable when deployed on guitar cabinets - either stand-mounted or hung directly over the cabinet.

 

The larger ND46 dynamic mic is designed for drums and general instrument miking, with a locking pivot mechanism for simple and accurate positioning, particularly in hard-to-reach areas of drum kits. It can also used on lower frequency applications, including floor toms and bass cabinets.

 

The new ND Series adds a small-diaphragm condenser model to the lineup, the ND66. The ND66’s filters, pads and locking pivoting head make it a choice for drum overheads, hi-hats, close-miked drums, acoustic guitar, piano and other typical small-diaphragm condenser applications.

 

Completing the ND Series is the ND68 dynamic, voiced to deliver a powerful kick drum sound with little or no additional equalization required. Offering extended low frequency response and high sound pressure level handling, it is also effective when used on other bass instruments.

 

The ND Series will be available in spring 2016.
