General Product Description
The new N/D767a presents optimal performance in a live sound environment. The 767a vocal microphone utilizes EV's new VOB(TM) (vocally optimized bass) technology to provide the performer with reduced low-end distortion and eliminates the muddiness found in other microphones. Combined with EV's industry first neodymium based magnet structure, the new N/D767a offers the power and clarity to "cut through the mix."
Operation
The low frequency response of the N/D767a microphone varies with the distance from the sound source. Known as "proximity effect," maximum bass response is produced in "close-up" use with the microphone 1/4 inch from the sound source. Normal bass response is experienced with working distances greater than 24 inches. Working close to the microphone will produce a more robust sound. Close up positioning of the microphone will also reduce the potential for feedback from the sound reinforcement system. When close-talked, the bass-boost provides an increase in overall microphone output level. The mixer gain may be proportionately reduced, resulting in a reduction of the system's sensitivity to feedback caused by sound entering the microphone from the loudspeakers.
Microphone Use and Placement
Please note that micing techniques are a matter of personal preference. These are merely guidelines to assist in the placement of the microphone to gain optimal performance.
Vocals:
Zero to six inches from the windscreen, and on axis with the microphone.
Spoken Word:
Five to ten inches from the windscreen, and on axis with microphone.
