1. You will need a power supply to operate the
NT1. For optimum results, this should be a
48V D.C. supply.
Most professional mixing consoles have an
internal 48V supply, or you can purchase a
separate supply. Make sure the power supply
you use is a professional unit that is operating
correctly. Damage due to connection of the
NT 1 to a faulty power supply is not covered
by the guarantee.
2. The NT1 comes complete with a Microphone
Stand Clip. This must be used to attach the
NT 1 to a ' stable' microphone stand. (Studio
Microphones do not like to be dropped!)
3. When first connecting the NT 1 to a mixing
console, we suggest that you have the Gain
control adjusted to FULL attenuation.
4. Please make all cable connections before
applying power to the microphone. Never
remove the microphone cable while the power
is connected.
5. Check that you have the NT 1 correctly
connected. You can connect the microphone
directly to the mixer (without an external
supply) if 48V is available on the mixer.
Always use a balanced (3 pin XLR style)
microphone cable. Note: Be sure that the
cable is a wired Pin 1 screen, Pin 2+ Pin 3-.
We suggest you purchase a cable with gold
plated plugs, as contact resistance due to
corrosion is a major cause of problems in all
sound systems.
6. Switch on the Power Supply/Mixer. The
microphone will take about six seconds to
stabilize. Adjust the mixer gain so that the
Peak light ' flashes' on the peaks of the
program
source
(Voice/Instrument). You are now ready to use
the NT 1.
7. 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
reflective or absorbent panels at various
angles adjacent to the source being recorded.
