Electro-Voice N/D357
Supercardioid Dynamic Microphone
The N/D357 was an early handheld vocal mic from Electro-Voice’s Neodymium series. It was replaced in the product line by the N/D367, which offered slightly higher sensitivity (3 mV/Pa) and lower noise (14 dBA).
The 357 offered several features that were retained in later designs:
- Elastomeric Warm-Grip™ handle
- Windscreen bumper
- Shockmounted dynamic element
- Built-in Acoustifoam™ pop filter
- Supercardioid pickup pattern (produces more gain before feedback)
The mic’s frequency response changed with proximity to the source — within 12 inches, “proximity” effect caused up to 18dB of boost below 500Hz. Electro-Voice described this response as “tailored to provide bass boost without the boominess of many directional microphones.”
The Electro-Voice N/D357 is also known as: N/D357, N/D357S.
