Electrovoice ND76

The Electro-Voice ND76 is a cardioid dynamic vocal microphone built around a large-diaphragm neodymium element. It delivers warm, natural vocals with extended low end and smooth, articulate highs, while its cardioid pattern rejects stage noise and helps control feedback. Add EV’s Memraflex grille and internal shock mount, and you have a reliable, great-sounding vocal mic for any stage.

• Cardioid polar pattern for consistent pickup and feedback control

• Memraflex grille resists dents and returns to shape
• Maximum SPL above 140 dB for loud vocalists and instruments

Electro-Voice ND76: Large-Diaphragm Dynamic Sound

Most handheld dynamic vocal mics use a small diaphragm. The ND76’s larger diaphragm captures more of the voice’s natural warmth and low-end body, so singers sound fuller and more present without heavy EQ. The neodymium magnet provides strong output for a clean signal, and the tailored response emphasizes clarity in the vocal range.

The cardioid pattern focuses on the singer and rejects sound from the rear, so you can place stage monitors behind the microphone and get more volume before feedback.

ND76 Durability: Memraflex Grille and Shock Mount

Live microphones get dropped, knocked off stands, and handled by many people. The ND76’s Memraflex grille is made from a material that resists denting and returns to its original shape, so the mic keeps looking and performing like new. An internal shock mount isolates the element from handling noise, so movement and grip changes stay out of the mix.

Getting the Best Vocal Sound From the ND76

Sing directly into the front of the grille from a few inches away. Moving closer increases warmth through proximity effect, while pulling back gives a more natural, open sound. Keep the rear of the microphone aimed at your floor monitors for maximum gain before feedback. Because the ND76 handles high SPL, it can also be used on guitar cabinets and other loud instruments.

Where the ND76 Fits in Your System

The ND76 is a great choice for venues, churches, and bands that want a step up in tone from standard handheld vocal mics while keeping the durability of a dynamic. Outfit your worship team or house mic locker with matching ND76s to give every vocalist a consistent sound, and pair them with quality cables and stands for a reliable stage setup.
