Description

The ND96 is Electro-Voice’s answer to stages where feedback is a constant threat and vocal clarity still has to win out. Its supercardioid pattern and large-diaphragm capsule are engineered specifically for high gain-before-feedback, letting you run hotter levels in tough monitoring situations without the mic turning against you.

Shock-mounted capsule: Cuts down on handling noise so low-frequency thumps and bumps stay out of the PA
Humbucking coil: Rejects line hum, making the ND96 a safe bet near speaker cabinets, power racks, and other EMF-heavy gear
Memraflex grille: A tight-mesh, dent-resistant design built to survive rough handling night after night
Vocal presence switch: Dials back certain low-mid frequencies while boosting upper-midrange presence, giving vocals extra edge when they need to sit forward in the mix

This mic belongs to Electro-Voice’s ND Series, a lineup where every model is tuned to a specific price point and application without cutting corners on sound quality or build. The series is built around a large-diaphragm capsule that pushes the original N/Dym design further, and each model is matched to particular venue sizes and stage volumes so vocalists can pick the right tool for the room. Mechanical details throughout the ND Series also simplify mic placement, saving sound engineers and musicians setup time whether they’re tracking in the studio or running a live show.

If your venue runs loud and your monitor wedges are unforgiving, the ND96 is designed to hold its ground.
