Hi folks,

I'm having problems with feedback when playing at high volumes ( see the cinco de mayo video ) I'm using a Peavy mic pluged into my keyboard and two Bose Compacts. Besides getting feedback, sometimes when the vocal harmoizer is on, it picks up the sounds of other instruments and generates odd harmonies. So I need something that won't feedback and pick up the sound of other instruments on stage. I heard the EV ND 967 is good for feedback rejection. Any thoughts?

It could be your eq settings, peak gain limits, in your KB or Mixer, and or speaker placement on stage vs the mics...I would check all of that and make required adjustments first before buying mics..

Peavey miss are not the usual choice of pics for performers, I sell allot Shure mics, and feedback is not an issue, I also sell Audix and Audio-Technica, each microphone is going to have a certain pick-up pattern, and that in combination with where you place your speaker will affect your feedback issue, plus your eq'ing will have allot to do with it, if you are doing allot of eq'ing on a Shure, EV, Audix, Audio-Techinca, then you probably should check your speaker or mixer setting, because you shouldn't have to do allot to get a good sound from them

True, but I don't eq setting would effect the mic picking up sounds from other instruments far away, right?

ditto on Frankies post above....you get what you pay for ...
I have the EV ND967 flat grill works great if your playing keyboard or guitar, .....but for a solo singer look at the Senn S945

Yes, I'm looking a mic for me while playing keys. My wife is using a Senn 935 which is working out well....

Electrovoice ND967 is the best at rejection I've ever seen, and sounds great to boot. It has been discontinued, which means you can find some killer deals on it!
It has been replaced by ND96, which should be at least as good. I haven't tried it.

Been using, and still using EV262ND for several years. Never a problem.
