- Page 2 I want to thank you for choosing the NT2000 studio condenser microphone. Please take a few moments to read this information booklet before using the NT2000, as it will help you gain the best long-term performance from this microphone. We are very proud of the NT2000. This microphone represents the culmination of many years of dedicated research into the art of recording microphone technology.

- Page 6 Vocals We strongly suggest the use of a ʻpop-filterʼ for ALL vocal recording. Plosives (ʻPʼs, ʻBʼs and ʻCʼs) can produce a sudden jet of air, which can cause the capsule to ʻbottom outʼ (overload) and produce a ʻpoppingʼ sound. Pop filters help to prevent the effects of plosives.
- Page 7 60cm (or 2ʼ) above the centre of the sound- board, aimed slightly towards the front of the piano. To record the piano using X/Y Stereo technique, two NT2000ʼs should be angled at 90-110 degrees to each other, over the hammers with one mic aimed towards the lower strings and the other towards the high strings.
- Page 8 Drums There are various ways to record drum kits. Single microphone ʻoverheadʼ, two microphones overhead (eg X/Y or spaced) and multiple microphones used close to individual drums & cymbals (i.e. close micʼing): To record a kit with a single microphone, we suggest that you begin by placing the micʼ...

This desired response will depend on the instrument, the style of playing and the sound aspired to. 1. The NT2000 should be mounted in the SM2 shock mount (Photo 1) which must then be screwed firmly onto a stable microphone stand. - Page 10 5. When in the omni position (fully anti-clockwise) the microphone picks up sound from all around the microphone and there is less proximity effect. (This is an increase in lower frequencies (bass) when the sound source is ʻcloserʼ to the microphone). The omni pattern is commonly used for room micʼing or to record a more natural sound when close micʼing instruments.
- Page 11 ʻcut offʼ where you canʼt hear the difference and you will have the optimum setting for that source. Why is that important? The NT2000 has a very wide response. It will pick up sounds below 20Hz. Thatʼs a good thing...
- Page 12 It is important to remember that there are many variables that can affect a microphones sound. The acoustics of the room have a dramatic effect to achieve the same results so you would need to set up in the very same way as you did before with no changes to the roomʼs acoustics.
