Electro-Voice ND96 Dynamic Supercardioid Vocal Microphone

excellent sound for a dynamic stage mic, very well controlled proximaty effect, excellent on plosives very good feedback rejection and very low handling noise.this is an excellent stage mic. ev also made some improvements on durability issues.

I have been using seinheser 835 and is a really good mic. I took a chance on this mic all I can say I wow! I love it and this is now my go to. You won't be disappointed just buy it!

It great sound, I really like it..

I play solo acoustic with vocals and on occasions a trio. I have used an ev nd 767 for years. Been playing 33 years in many settings and run sound for some large events. There are are allot of good mics out there and everyone has different styles and habits of how they work the mic but the Ev mics seem to shine a little more in natural clear response. Proximity effect and working range have always been a bit of an issue with a natural sounding mic. It always seems to limit your distance And makes it easy to get out of the sweat spot Especially when in a high energy setting trying to add more dynamics to your vocals. This Ev Nd 96 solves that as you can work the mic a bit father out and right on the mic screen without worrying about the changes in the eq as you work the mic. It's hard to have problems with popping P's or B's or S's even singing loudly right against the mic screen with this 96. Well done EV . I believe due to the larger diaphragm in this mic it feels a bit more open sounding to even when your right on it. Not going to replace a good studio condenser mic for recording as far as I can tell right now but the best dynamic mic I've used for that . But live solo acoustic vocals it's a very condenser like feel without proximity effect right on it. The working range is pretty amazing and reject feedback well For as clear Sounding as it is.

I bought this mic as an alternative to buying the RE-20. Obviously the RE-20 is better but, with a little adjustment, this one can sound pretty close. I primarily use to for live vocals and podcasting. It's very warm and has great low end. It is marvelous for male vocals and more intimate vocals. I 100% recommend this mic. Only thing I don't like is the shape. It's a fine shape for live but it's a little weird for the podcast.

So just my opinion here. Sounds a bit Nasaly to me, maybe its just my voice, which is on that side of things to begin with. The low end is non existent here for the most part, but that is in the specs. I a/b it with the SM58 and the 58 was just warmer. I scooped out 1k-5k a little and it seemed to calm it down a bit. Great build constriction and design. It's just not for me.
