The N/D478’s acoustic response presents optimal performance
in both a live sound or studio environment. The new “vocally
optimized bass” or VOB™ technology provides
the instrumentalist with reduced resonant distortion at low frequencies.
Critical damping of the low frequency resonant peak has resulted
in a microphone that replaces the
“muddiness” found in competitive models with greater
warmth and increased clarity. The result is a exceptional performing
instrument microphone with clean, clear, consistent sound that “cuts
through the mix.”
Operation
The low frequency response of the N/D478 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” from the
sound source. Normal bass response is experienced with working distances
greater than 24”.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-miced, 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.
The EV N/D478 is ideal for drums, percussion or guitar amplifiers,
the EV N/D 478 has integrated VOB™ technology. It is also
an excellent vocal microphone.
