8. There are two suggested recording modes PCM and HiSP, PCM is the
highest quality mode. A 1GB disk will hold 92 minutes at the PCM

10. Install a fresh, alkaline, 9 volt battery into the Rode NT-4 mic by un-
screwing the lower section of the body and sliding the battery into the
cavity (terminals first). Check for correct polarity (+ to + and – to –).
Secure the battery in place with the flexible spring clip and screw the
sections back together.
11. Slip the mic back into the shock mount and attach the fake fur
jacket. The Rode NT-4 mic is very sensitive to hand-holding and the
slightest amount of wind. Unless you are mounting it on a mic stand
indoors, the results are likely to be disappointing without a shock
mount/zepplin. If your mic doesn't not have a shockmount/zepplin,
consider making one yourself. Here are some pictures of the shock-
mounts with car wqash mitt zeppelins we made in October 2005 for
the 420 Field Audio Class:
