More "You" for the Loudest Venues

For a vocalist, there's just no competing with a guitar stack or a drum kit on a loud stage. So when you need maximum gain before feedback, trust your sound to the Electro-Voice ND96. This striking flat-top dynamic mic puts more "you" in your stage monitor so you can perform better and gives your sound engineer a hotter signal to push your vocals to the back row. The ND96 includes a Presence switch to cut out mud when you're singing low, and then lets you bring it back in when you're belting. This simple feature puts you in the pilot seat of your own sound. And like other ND-series vocal mics, the ND96 has a modern EQ curve with vivid high-end detail to help you sound your best from any stage. Sweetwater is sure that performers and sound professionals alike will be pleased with the ND96's drop-weathering Memraflex grille and noise-rejecting internal shockmount.

The Electro-Voice ND series picks up where N/DYM left off

For years, EV's N/DYM series of live and studio dynamic microphones have been a beacon of hope to us low-enders and live-sounders. And now Electro-Voice promises to deliver even better performance with its EV ND collection. This line includes eight new vocal, drum, amp, and instrument mics to cover a wide range of stage and studio needs. Beneath the dent-resistant Memraflex grilles are redesigned large-diaphragm capsules with humbucking coils and internal shockmounts to capture a rich, musical sound with low noise - all on a budget. When you need dependable performance on a workingman's income, Sweetwater sound professionals encourage you to check out Electro-Voice ND microphones.

Best Vocal Mic Under $200
I'm a professional lead vocalist with over 30 years experience and a UK No1 album under my belt. I've used all types of mics at all types of venues. Buying a mic is a personal choice but the EV ND96 completes a few essential requirements extremely well. Off axis sound rejection, handling noise and plosives are all taken care of leaving a beautiful balanced sound that will give any level of performer enjoyment. I'd even use this in the studio as an alternative to my condenser mics for certain projects.

It is right up there with the Sennheiser e945 which is also a superb mic. Too close to call.


Happy to recommend. Highly!
Music background: Professional lead vocalist/ producer/ No1 recording artist.
EV microphone ND96
I chose this microphone in a blindfold test. Clearer, stronger than anything else I tried. Feedback is almost impossible. One caveat, It does not like to be dropped. This is not a Shure that you can hammer nails with and keep on singing. I have a high range (Tenor) and this microphone matches my voice...might not be the same for a baritone. I can't use a condenser mic as I don't like wires. I plug the ND96 into an Xvive U3 transmitter (available from Sweetwater) and I can walk 50 yards into the crowd and still be clear and strong. (You can also use the same transmitter for a amplified speaker)After hearing this mic, my whole band demand these microphones.
Music background: Guitar, Flute, Sax, Vocalist
ND 96
In my 50+ years in music the EV ND 96 has met my needs better than any vocal microphone I've ever owned. Thank you EV.
Great Mic
I've always used EV mics live and this is doesn't disappoint. Reliable, clear, rarely gets feedback except from monitor misplacement. Highly recommend.
Better then expected
I've used the ND86 before, and read and watched many reviews online about the ND96. I'm a dueling piano bar performer and I freelance, so I'm in different clubs every weekend. One club in particular is very loud. Most players use a Shure beta, or Sennheiser. My first time using the ND96 there not once did I get feedback plugging in my Mic, and every other player did once they plugged in any other mic. Front of house I was told by every player my mic was so much clearer then everyone else they said. Gotta admit. so far it's my favorite mic I've ever used for loud stage. I also sub for a rock band in New Orleans on Bourbon st, and the stage volume is also very loud, can't wait to use it there and see if I notice a difference
