Changing the acoustic properties of the space
the microphone is in, is our recommended
initial approach for obtaining the best sound
quality. (Remember, you cannot change a
room' s acoustic properties with EQ).
When you have the best sound quality
achievable with this approach, then equalization
and effects such as reverb or indeed any
other signal-processing can be used for
enhancement, but should be used sparingly.
Some tips that may be helpful:
1.
Condenser microphones do not like moisture!
NT 1, like all studio mics should be kept dry at
all times. The capsule will be subjected to a lot
of moisture in vocal applications, and we
strongly suggest the use of a ' Pop-Stop' type
screen be used for all vocal application
IMPORTANT
The Mesh/Grille of the NT 1 is very open, to
allow for the ultimate in natural/open sound
recording. While the benefits of this design
are
obvious,
problems
recording vocals as plosives may bottom-out
the capsule. For this reason we strongly
recommend a Pop Stop device be used in all
vocal applications.
2. This microphone is a precision transducer
and should be cared for as such. Dropping or
knocking the microphone can damage it and
so please take care. Fix the microphone
securely to a dedicated microphone stand
using either the Mount RM1 supplied, or the
Shock Mount (Optional) SM1.
*After every use, the NT 1 should be removed
from its stand, wiped down with a dry soft cloth,
and placed in its case. Be sure to place the
moisture-absorbent crystals (small pouch) at the
head of the microphone. The crystals will absorb
any moisture present. Eventually, this pack needs
to be dried. When the crystals have turned pink,
the pack should be placed in an oven set to
o
between 100-150
C. They will be activated when
they turn blue.
Note: There are no user serviceable parts inside
this microphone, and so there will never be a
reason for you to dismantle it. All service that
requires dismantling must be performed by a
qualified RØDE service agent to protect your
warranty.
