The ND96 is a real workhorse mic – built like a tank and sounds surprisingly good for the price. It's perfect for vocalists in rock, pop, or any genre where stage volume is a concern, and you need to cut through the noise. The supercardioid pickup pattern means you gotta pay attention to your mic technique, but the payoff is worth it.
