The acoustic response of the N/D267a and 267as
presents optimal performance in a live sound
environment. The new vocally optimized bass or
VOB
Ô technology provides the performer 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
vocal clarity. The increased clarity permits greater
working distances than other competitive microphones,
and ensures a clean, clear, consistent sound that cuts
through the mix.
VOBÔ technology provides tailored bass response for
controlled proximity effect and exceptional vocal
clarity
Cardioid pattern for superior feedback rejection and
acoustic isolation
Consistent sound over greater working distances than
competitive models
Neodymium based magnet structure provides greater
sensitivity and signal-to-noise ratio.
Warm GripÔ handle for more comfortable feel.

Operation
The low frequency response of the N/D267a and 267as
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 ¼ inch from the sound source. Normal bass
response is experienced with working distances greater
than 24 inches. 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-talked,
the bass-boost provides an increase in overall microphone
output level. The mixer gain may be proportionately
reduced, resulting in a reduction of the systems sensitivity
to feedback caused by sound entering the microphone
from the loudspeakers.
Microphone Use and Placement
Please note that micing techniques are a matter of personal
preference. These are merely guidelines to assist in the
placement of the microphone to gain optimal performance.
Usage
Optimal Placement
Vocals
Zero to six inches from the
windscreen, and on axis with
the microphone.
Spoken
Word
Five to ten inches from the
windscreen, and on axis with
microphone.
