  • Page 6 • The gold dot on the face of the NT2-A 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 7 Using the NT2-A • Microphone technique, or how to get the sound you want, requires experimentation. We suggest that you start with the channel EQ set to ‘OFF’ or ‘FLAT’ (no boost or cut). Try to get the sound you want by placing either refl ective or absorbent panels at various angles adjacent to the source being recorded.
  • Page 8 Setting the Polar Pattern The NT2-A polar pattern can be adjusted to either omni, through cardioid or fi gure of eight. This fl exibility allows for more versatile recording of vocals, instruments and sound sources. After making a selection change, allow a few moments for the microphone to stabilise.
  • Page 9 Setting the Polar Pattern • When in the omni position (lower position), the microphone picks up sound from all around the microphone and there is less proximity effect than in cardioid mode. (Proximity Effect is an increase in lower (bass) frequencies when the sound source is ‘close’...
  • Page 10 The middle selector switch on the front of the NT2-A can be used to set the High-Pass Filter to 0Hz/Flat (center position), 40Hz (lower position) or 80Hz (upper position).
  • Page 11 Settings Reminder You may wish to keep a record of the settings you have made during a recording. Should you wish to recreate a section of a recording, or to capture the same “sound quality”, you can refer to the manual and easily retrieve the mic’s previous settings.
