GearCast Video - Electro-Voice ND46 Dynamic Supercardioid Instrument Microphone Introduction

The Electro-Voice ND46 is a robust, high-performance dynamic supercardioidDefinition:
A unidirectional microphone polar pattern that is narrower than a cardioid mic, but wider than a hypercardioid mic. instrument microphone. Designed for capturing a wide variety instrument sounds, the ND46 capsuleDefinition:
The portion of a microphone that converts acoustic energy to electrical, and may also contain additional mechanical and electrical elements especially if it is interchangeable. is precisely tuned to deliver a lively and balanced sound, as well as excellent isolation from the sound of other nearby instruments. The ND46 dynamic capsule contains a large Mylar diaphragmDefinition:
The moving portion of a microphone that transforms sound waves into motion that can ultimately produce electrical waves. which delivers a rich and detailed frequency responseDefinition:
The range of frequencies that an audio, video or data device can pass. by combining its large surface area for tonal balance with its low-mass high-velocity material for exceptionally fast transient responseDefinition:
The ability for a piece of equipment to follow a fast-rising waveform, and reproduce it accurately..

The ND46 locking pivoting head makes mic placement easy and precise. Achieve ideal mic placement by pushing its button, pivoting the head into position, then releasing the button to lock the head's position. The ND46 capsule uses a humbuckingDefinition:
A type of coil configuration used in guitar pickups and microphones, wound in such a way to resist external magnetic fields that can cause hum and other noise. coilDefinition:
(slang) Inductor; its derivation is that most inductors are made up of coils of wire. that attenuates ACDefinition:
AC (Alternating Current): Current whose electrical flow alternates between positive and negative quadrants, and whose magnitude varies periodically. Alternating current is used in most commercial power transmission, and is also the basis of audio or video signals. humDefinition:
An undesired continuous signal caused by AC electrical power, typically 60/50 Hz and its harmonics. and electromagnetic interference. ND dynamic mics can be used with confidence near speaker cabinets and EMFDefinition:
EMF (Electro Motive Force): An increase in electric current caused by a voltage difference. Often simply referred to as Voltage. generating equipment racks.
