EV N/D267a??? Cant find model info on this pawnshop find...

[Fattymagoo]

Found an EV N/D267a (yes, the first number is a 2... not a 7). I can't find much info on the web. Anyone know any thing about this mic? I grabbed it used at a local shop for $30.

I *believe* I still have an EV N/D767a floating around my house somewhere. If I can find it, I'll be able to do a comparison.

EDIT: I had the model number jacked up... sorry.

I started my EV mic collection with a 257. The N/D267 superceded the 257.
If it works to specs it's very usable. Mostly depends on the condition of the suspension of the element.

I've got a couple of the ND257's, an ND357A, and a couple of ND767A's. All good vocal mics and I would suspect the ND267A would be good as well. The ND267A is different from the ND767 as it is a cardioid pattern versus the supercardioid pattern of the ND767A.

Is it an early or late production serial number? Early will start with 'A' or 'B' 1x"xxxx.

I'll check when I get home. What difference would it make? Just curious...

The earliest versions of these mics were voiced more like condenser mics. As production wears on, if there are many warranty returns due to fragility, they'll respond by making the mount more durable, and less like a condenser.
