  • Page 5 • Designed & manufactured in Australia • Full 10 year warranty* Powering the NT3 • The NT3 can be powered by either phantom power or 9 volt battery (see specifi cations). • Most professional mixing consoles include a 48v phantom power supply, however in the case that one does not a separate power supply may be used.
  • Page 6 • When using NT3 on battery power, it is a good idea to keep the microphone in the off position when not in use. This will save battery power and increase the battery life.

  • Page 8 Using the NT3 • A stand mount clip (RM3) is included with your NT3, and should be used to connect the NT3 fi rmly and safely to a stable microphone stand. • Always use a high quality microphone cable and ensure that it is wired Pin 1 screen, Pin 2 (+), Pin 3 (-).
  • Page 9 (as above) then EQ and effects such as reverb or indeed any signal processing can be used for enhancement, but should be used sparingly. • When used as a vocal mic, the NT3 will be potentially subject to moisture, which should be avoided when using condenser microphones. We recommend the use of the included windshield to minimise any moisture build up.
  • Page 10 • The low frequency of the NT3 extends to below 20Hz which is an attractive quality for most recording situations, however in a live situation you may wish to reduce these frequencies when using it as a vocal mic. If you have a high pass fi lter/bass roll-off then switch it in.
  • Page 11 Storage • After use the NT3 should be removed from its shock mount, wiped with a dry, soft cloth and placed in its protective zip pouch with the supplied moisture-absorbent crystals. • Be sure to place the moisture-absorbent crystals (supplied) at the head of the microphone(s), so as to absorb any moisture present.
