Electro Voice ND96

The ND96 is a powerful dynamic supercardioid vocal microphone built to dominate high-volume stages. With its large-diaphragm capsule and precision-engineered design, it delivers a rich, focused vocal tone that cuts clearly through dense mixes. Its standout feature is the vocal presence emphasis switch, which reduces low-mid buildup and boosts upper-mids to enhance vocal clarity and drive - ideal for performers who need to be heard over loud instruments.

Engineered for maximum gain before feedback, the ND96 allows you to push vocals louder in the mix without compromising control. It also features a shock-mounted capsule to reduce handling noise, a humbucking coil to block interference, and a Memraflex dent-resistant grille to endure the rigors of stage use.

• Built for Loud Stages: Designed to push vocals through high-volume mixes without feedback, even in extreme live environments.

• Supercardioid Pattern for Isolation: Provides focused pickup and excellent rejection of stage noise and feedback.

• Large-Diaphragm Dynamic Capsule: Captures vocals with clarity and presence across a rich, detailed frequency range.

• Selectable Vocal Presence Boost: Switch activates enhanced upper-midrange and reduces low-mid frequencies for sharper vocal definition.

• Shock-Mounted Capsule: Minimizes handling noise and low-frequency bumps during performances.

• Humbucking Coil: Protects against interference from lighting rigs and audio equipment.

• Memraflex Grille: Tough, dent-resistant grille stands up to the rigors of touring and stage abuse.

• High SPL Tolerance: Handles levels above 140 dB SPL - perfect for loud singers and high-gain setups.
