Electro Voice ND86

The ND86 is a high-performance dynamic supercardioid microphone engineered for commanding vocal presence in even the largest and most challenging live environments. Its large-diaphragm capsule delivers a smooth, present, and detailed vocal tone, while the precisely tuned frequency response enhances clarity by reducing low-frequency room tone and emphasizing key high-mid frequencies that separate vocals from stage noise.

With a shock-mounted capsule to minimize handling noise, a humbucking coil to eliminate hum from EMF sources, and a durable Memraflex grille to withstand tough stage conditions, the ND86 is built for professional reliability and vocal excellence.

• Designed for Large Venues: Tuned for superior acoustic control, reducing low-frequency room tone and separating vocals from stage wash.

• Supercardioid Pattern for Maximum Isolation: Focuses tightly on the vocalist while minimizing bleed from other sound sources.

• Large-Diaphragm Dynamic Capsule: Delivers rich, detailed sound with smooth, present vocals.

• Shock-Mounted Capsule: Minimizes handling noise for clean audio, even with movement.

• Humbucking Coil for Clean Signal: Rejects interference from nearby speakers and electronic equipment.

• Durable Memraflex Grille: Resists dents and withstands the demands of live performance.

• High SPL Handling: Easily manages loud vocals without distortion, even above 140 dB SPL.

• Robust Build: Constructed from die-cast zinc with a black polyurethane finish for lasting durability.
