Microphones Born and bred in the American heartland, Electro-Voice lays claim to over 80 years of unmatched innovation in microphone design and manufacturing. Back in 1927, company founders Al Kahn and Lou Burroughs started out as true pioneers, establishing the industry standard for audio engineering excellence and reliability while continuously upping the ante with breakthrough technologies like the Humbucking coil for noise cancellation, Variable-D™ and VOB™. Eight decades on, Electro-Voice microphones continue to deliver the sound of history’s most significant events. We’ve helped the world hear everything from the very first radio broadcasts to John Glenn’s first orbit of the Earth; from Elvis and the Beatles to the largest world tours with today’s biggest artists; from Knut Rockne using his “Electric Voice” at Notre Dame to the state-of-the-art wireless microphone systems at this year’s Superbowl; from Presidential inaugurations to tonight’s evening news; from Dr. Martin Luther King’s “I Have A Dream” speech to the Next Big Thing rehearsing in the garage next door… Electro-Voice stays true to its roots as a great American brand while advancing to new heights in the 21st century. We were the first to offer N/DYM™ neodymium technology in microphones and created ClearScan™ for quick, automatic wireless microphone channel coordination. And that’s just the beginning—our engineers are constantly working on new ways to keep your tone intact. From soundcheck to encore, Electro-Voice microphones offer great sound, durability, ergonomics and style, whether you’re outfitting a world tour, a house of worship, a professional studio or a neighborhood block party. We believe the equipment you use should withstand both the rigors of performance and the scrutiny of your listeners. At Electro-Voice, innovating new products to make you sound your best is job number one—our name says it all.
