Product Details 

The Electro-Voice N/D408B is a supercardioid, dynamic microphone ideally suited to mic percussion, guitar amp and horns for live performance and studio recording. The unique pivoting yoke configuration provides the maximum flexibility in positioning the microphone. The N/D408B utilizes a revolutionary neodymium alloy to form the EV-exclusive N/DYM® magnet. With a computer-optimized design, the N/DYM magnetic structure is maximized in the N/D408B to provide 6-dB more output sensitivity over conventional designs while the more uniform magnetic field lowers distortion during peak sound pressure levels.

The N/DYM magnet geometry combined with a reinforced diaphragm design forms a smooth, extended frequency response with a warm, open, transparent sound quality only found in studio quality microphones. The N/D408A also utilizes a hum-bucking coil to reduce hum from lighting and other power sources.

N/DYM Series III microphones feature the AcoustiDYM™M shock-mount system. This unique vibration-isolation system works as a multistage device. At lowfrequencies, a rear sound wave cancels the diaphragm motion, while at high frequencies the specially designed rubber shock mount isolates the transducer from motion. Combining AcoustiDYM with the elastomeric WarmGrip™M handle and windscreen bumper forms an advanced technology vibrationisolation system which dramatically reduces all forms of handling noise for the most demanding situations.

The N/D408B has a supercardioid polar pattern. Compared to the more traditional, heart-shaped cardioid pattern, a supercardioid pattern rejects more sound at the sides and rear overall. These characteristics tend to reduce feedback under live performance conditions, particularly with typical monitor speaker placements. Also, the N/D408's polar patterns are unusually uniform with frequency, insuring superior gain-before-feedback in live applications and superior isolation in the studio.

The N/DYM Series III pop filter is a unique design utilizing a combination of two materials-Acoustifoam™ and a highdensity-fabric-to form a material composite which maximizes rejection of both wind noise and vocal P-pops. This design makes the pop filter an integral part of the microphone's removable front grille assembly, allowing easy cleaning for continued top performance.
