The Electro-Voice N/D157B is a Single-D cardioid dynamic microphone utilizing a revolutionary neodymium alloy to form the EV-exclusive N/DYM® magnet with four times the power potential of conventional microphone magnets. The exceptional sensitivity of the N/D157B combined with the inherently low noise of a dynamic transducer insures a superior signal-to-noise ratio ready for video recording and sampling.

For vocal applications where the microphone is used close up, the N/D157B exhibits bass boost (proximity effect) that vocalists really appreciate.

The high-frequency performance of the

N/D157B has been especially shaped for clean, clear, open sound that cuts through background noise. The low-frequency bass boost plus high-frequency response shaping create a natural sounding microphone.

The directional polar characteristic resists feedback when working close to sound reinforcement speakers and monitors. A built in blast filter enables close talking or singing without worry of "P-popping" or other excessive breath and sibilant noise.

A built-in elastomeric shock mount significantly reduces mechanical noise produced by handling or stand-induced vibration.
