Summary of Contents for RODE Microphones NTK

  • Page 1 Instruction Manual www.rodemic.com ( EMC, LVD )
  • Page 2 The NTK is the result of an extensive development program to create a truly superior valve condenser microphone. The heart of the NTK is the Australian designed and manufactured HF-2 capsule. The electronic circuitry complementing this very sensitive transducer includes a hand-selected twin-triode 6922 valve and audiophile grade components and layout.

  • Page 6 Before using the NTK • Ensure that your NTK has been set to the correct voltage, as used in your country. The NTK can be used with mains suppliy voltages of between either 110-120V 50/60Hz or 220-240V 50/60Hz. - To select for 110-120V use, set the voltage selector to 115V.

  • Page 8 Using the NTK • The gold dot on the face of the NTK indicates the front of the microphone, and the pick-up area of the cardioid pattern. Please be sure to have the side with the dot facing the sound source you wish to record.
  • Page 9 • We strongly recommend the use of a pop shield or fi lter for all vocal recording. These aid in minimising plosive sounds (hard ‘P’, ‘B’, ‘T’ and ‘K’ sounds) that produce a sudden jet of air which can cause the capsule to overload and produce a ‘popping’...
  • Page 10 Storage • After use the NTK should be removed from its mount, wiped with a dry, soft cloth and placed in its protective case. • Be sure to place the moisture-absorbent crystals (supplied) at the head of the microphone, so as to absorb any moisture present.

    I’alimentation vous-même! NOTA: No manipule internamente la fuente de alimentacion del NTK, puesto que el alto voltaje puede ser perjudicial en caso de sufrir una descarga. Si se apreciara un functionamiento incorrecto de la fuente de alimentacion, debera consultarlo en el establecimiento donde adquirio la unidad, solo puede ser manipulado por un servicio tecnico cualifi...
