The Electro-Voice N/D267, part of a new generation of N/DYM
microphones, is designed for high-quality vocal use in live sound and home
recording situations. The N/D267 is a member of a family of microphones that
are manufactured with refinements that enhance sonic smoothness, improve
gain-before-feedback, and provide more consistent performance with greater
durability than earlier generations of N/DYM microphones. The N/D267's
acoustic response is tuned to achieve an extended frequency range with
improved transient response, presenting clear lead and background vocals
without the need for excessive equalization. Where exceptional vocal clarity
is desired, the N/D267 is the microphone of choice.
As in all N/DYM microphones, the N/D267 features EV's outstanding
neodymium-iron-boron magnetic structure to provide greater sensitivity and
an exceptional signal-to-noise ratio. In addition, the N/DYM magnet
geometry, combined with a large reinforced diaphragm design, produces a
smooth, extended frequency response with a warm, open, and transparent sound
quality normally found only in studio-quality microphones.
N/DYM microphones feature EV's AcoustiDYM shock-mount system. This unique
vibration isolating system works as a multistage device. At low frequencies,
a rear sound wave cancels the diaphragm motion while, at high frequencies,
the specially designed rubber shock mount isolates the transducer from
motion. Combining AcoustiDYM with the elastomeric Warm-Grip 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/D267 employs a cardioid polar pattern, providing enhanced front-area
sensitivity and acoustic rejection directly behind the microphone, reducing
feedback under live performance conditions. This is particularly useful with
typical monitor speaker placement and high sound pressure level (SPL)
requirements. Additionally, the N/D267's polar patterns are unusually
uniform with frequency, ensuring superior gain-before-feedback in live
applications and superior isolation when used in the studio. The N/D267 pop
filters unique design utilizes a specially processed Acoustifoam filter to
minimize wind noise and vocal P-pops. This design makes the pop filter an
integral part of the microphones removable front grille assembly, allowing
easy cleaning for continued top performance. The N/D267S has the added
feature of an easily accessible on/off switch.
Operation
The N/D267s low-frequency response varies with the distance of the sound
source to the microphone. This is known as proximity effect. Maximum bass
response is produced in close-up use with the microphone 1/4 in. from the
sound source. Minimal bass response is experienced at distances greater than
24 inches. By working closer to the microphone, the human voice will sound
more robust. Working the microphone close-up will also reduce the potential
for feedback from a PA sound system. This benefit is in addition to the
feedback-reducing cardioid polar pattern. When close-talked, the substantial
bass boost provides an increase in overall microphone output level. The
mixer gain may be proportionately reduced, resulting in a reduction of the
systems sensitivity to feedback caused by sound entering the microphone from
the loudspeakers.
The dynamic element of the N/D267 will provide reliable operation in extreme
temperature, humidity and other adverse conditions that would render typical
condenser microphones useless. These N/D267 features will provide years of
trouble-free operation.
