Awesome song...and great, smooth singing voice. I personally also liked the EV on vocals.

Thank you for showing the difference! When I found the EV767a I was on the road with a touring rock band. The "go to" for almost every singer and sound man is the SM58 for vocals. In my opinion I never liked them, SM58s sound dry to me and as a vocalist I knew they really made you push hard, they don't pick up your 'real' voice (what you're really doing) like there's compression there or something. During sound check at a show as soon as the vocalist started I had to spin around and look at the mic on his stand because it was SO CLEAR! It sounded like it sounded when we were jamming acapella on the bus. I had to ask the sound man what mic it was. I bought it for the band as a gift immediately, wireless version for the lead vocalist. Of course the 58 is a tank (tough), but the EV stands up to a beating as well and in a live setting, in my opinion, the EV blows the 58 away. If you're a vocalist do check the EV767a out. You will probably be as impressed as I was. Especially if you agree that the 58's sound quality. I personally always hated having to sing through an SM58. But they were and still are the standard vocal mic. I am not saying the 58 sucks. Not at all. But after hearing how good a 767a sounded the EV is the mic I want if I had a choice between the 2 to sing through. By far.

The N/D767a is a supercardiod mic and the SM58 is a cardioid mic. That’s a significant difference in their sound pickup pattern.

I respect you for not overusing the "I am SHURE" joke :D

In a live situation, my band used to have all sm58's and a shure Beta58 for the lead vocals. We got one of the EV ND767A mics for our lead vocalist and were blown away by how clear it was, how well it cut through the mix, and how much louder we could push it without any annoying feedback. The EV was already louder right out of the box! Now we have thrown out all our Shure mics and we use the ND767a's for all our backup vocals(4 of us), and our lead singer uses the ND96(even better than the 767a's). That's the best combination of mics our band has ever used and they sound awesome! Never going back to Shure mics! EV rules! lol

I do vocals live with an ND 86 and it has the most clarity for a dynamic mic tbh.

don't remember the last time that I listened to the vocals for a mic demo multiple times just cause I couldn't get enough of the singers voice. You got quite some emotion and a great tone there, I really liked it ^^

I’ve used both... always come back to the Shure! Been using 58’s and 57’s for years and haven’t really found anything I like better. Your vocal sounds great without processing BTW.

I've used both. Sm58 is the standard, they're everywhere. But once i discovered the EV 767a that's all i use. I own a handful of them and if i come across a used one I'll buy it just to be sure I'll have one when i need it since they dont make them anymore. I own several 58's as well but rarely use them.

Thank you for your review! I would like to say that I can attest to the durability and road worthiness of the EV ND767a! I have been using mine for stage vocals for almost ten years (the same mic). And it is tough! Not a single dent. And the clarity and loudness are unmatchable. I get so many compliments from listeners. I have also used SM58's, but have found they just aren't as loud for me. Also, the SM58 will dent easily I have noticed. Unfortunately the EV ND767a has just recently been discontinued. They have a replacement called the ND76. I just ordered one and I will see if it is comparable to the ND767a. Thanks again!

Remember that to use the ev 767 with the whole frequency range you must speak closer to the capsule.

Great review, great singing!! EV is the best! One question - do you use any external compression or equing?

As always the EV sounds amazing, use them live a lot. We only have 8 SM57 and sm58 for musicians who really need them. Non of the techs like to use them though, there is always a better sounding mic, most of the time a EV

i like the ev767a, what is the equivalent of it on another brand?

Ev is a great mic my 1st ev died after a few years bought another .it sounds better to me than alot of mics in that price range

i realy like this EV767a, but they don't make it anymore..😞

EV has more gain for the Sure but I def heard a hum on it not sure if its a wire thing.

FYI, Sir. I read the description to see if you included what hymn you played some of (it was played at my fathers funeral services and I would like to hear it more often!) and see you say the 767a is unavailable. That's not true. It can be gotten from several sources including, american musical supply, ebay, zzsounds, sweetwater, etc. and of course direct from ElectroVoice. True. Amazon doesn't have it available and it has been discontinued, unfortunately. It can still be gotten. The actual model number is N/D767a. The N76 you linked is of course the new version of it. I haven't gotten to experience how the N76 sounds.

The EV measures up pretty strongly... impressive.

Hey bro quick question. My gear advisor suggest i go with the ND96 EV over the Shure 58. I primarily am wanting it to plug into my amp with my acoustic guitar and sing along. I’m not a gig guy yet I am pretty raw and new to this. It’s more of a hobby and learning process for me right now. My voice trying to Learn to sing. So with that in mind which mic would be best for my situation? I have a fishman loudbox mini acoustic amp. Thanks!!

Its looks like You have there Ev N/D767a this is supercardio and SM58 it is cardio polar pattern. You need to comper it with SM BETA 58 or other supercardio.

I have an EV PL91A laying around. How does it compare?

What's with all the extra noise on the EV? I see it may be using a cheapo cable....and they're both going to a Behringer mixer, which could be the issue. Still, a bit concerning. Is this a problem with the mic or something else?

The EV was great on acoustic!

Background buzzzzzz...Try out the amazing RODEcaster Pro II. Zero BG noise

I have had Shure SM58 mics and the EV 767a mics. Mics are personal but to me, the EV mic has better gain, better feedback rejection and a better ability to cut through the mix with any instrument or vocal put through it. The Shure is a much older design and while perfectly serviceable, doesn't really keep up with the EV. I've not tested the later model EVs. I own a lot of other Shure products that I love such as the SM8 mics and the KSM 27s.

I would prefer the EV all day long 100% if you know how to set up the right equipment I think the EV is just in front it louder its a cleaner and crisp sound and bit more sensitive I have research it and THE EV was elvis Presley favourite microphone 🎤he used it on stage 100s of time and there actually a video of elvis in 1977 promising his fans that he only uses the best equipment because he said the fans deserve the best of the best throughout any performance and that's what they gonna get he said that and he was using a ELECTRO VOICE MICROPHONE AT THAT EXACT TIME IN THAT PERFORMANCE ELETRO VOICE ALL DAY LONG BUT YOU NEED TO KNOW HOW TO SET UP THE RIGHT EQUIPMENT WITH IT .....

I feel like eq is different too, the EV sounds brighter like the highs are boosted, the shure sounds bassier than the EV in comparison like it doesn't have highs boosted. Imo

All I can hear is ground hum in this video from EV (not sure if it's cabling issue or noise floor or just the channel it's fed in )......and I'm watching on a tablet 😐

The EV does sound better when speaking and singing...it's a Supercardioid so it's more sensitive than the sm58 which sounds better on the guitar

even without headphones the EV is way better clear, crisp and good base (when you were singing)

The ND 86 is noise canceling for on stage. This is coming from someone who is in a metalcore band!

SM58s aren't nearly the mic the ND767a is. First of all, the SM58 is a cardioid mic and more prone to feeding back. The 767a is a hypercardioid mic, and is very difficult to get to feedback. The 767a is much hotter than an SM58 too, so you don't have to push the gain as hard as an SM58. And with it not being as hot of a mic, you are pushing the gain on a cardioid pattern mic. Not good. The 767a also has more clarity and is a warmer mic. Honestly, there's really no comparison between the two for me. I've side by sided them extensively. I'm a tenor and I felt the SM58 was shrill, but the 767a gave my voice much more warmth and clarity, without being shrill, like the SM58. One is remarkably durable (SM58) and the other is less durable, (767a) but a much better sounding mic. It makes sense. The SM58 can be purchased for $88, so it's a great price, and the 767a was $129 maybe 15 years ago. You get what you pay for.

EV wins! I like my 76

👍🎤👍🎸👍🎙️👍🎸👍🎤👍

EV is not close spec wise to the SM58.

Looks like the EV bumps the highs without the kids-great for muddy or boomy voices. The SHURE is pretty balanced in frequency so better for voices that can be shrill (dare I say chick-singers?) Now I want an EV and I’m not even buying. Thanks.

4 da price stay wit sm58 ONLY difference $50

God Bless! Sm 58 is trash....What about EV 767? Not A?

shure sm 58 the best.
