FEATURES:

•Large capsule with gold-plated membrane

•Ultra low noise transformerless circuitry

•Cardioid polar pattern

•Durable satin nickel ﬁnish

•High strength welded and heat-treated mesh head

•Internal capsule shock-mounting

•True condenser (externally biased)

•Full frequency response

ACCESSORIES INCLUDED:

•Zip Pouch (ZP1) (see 1)

•Stand Mount (M2) (see 2)

OPTIONAL ACCESSORY:

•Shock Mount (SM2) (see 3)

•The NT1000 requires a power supply which for

optimum results should be a 48 VDC Supply.

Most professional mixing consoles have an

internal 48V supply; alternatively you can

purchase a separate supply. Ensure that the

power supply you use is a professional unit that

is operating correctly. Damage due to

connection of the NT1000 to a faulty power

supply is not covered by guarantee.

•The NT1000 comes complete with a

microphone stand-mount (SM1). This should be

used to attach the microphone to a good quality

stand. The stand-mount includes a thread

adaptor allowing connection to either 3/8”or

5/8”stand thread.

•When ﬁrst connecting the NT1 to a mixing

console, we suggest that you have the Gain

control adjusted to full attenuation.

•Please make all cable connections before

applying power to the microphone, and never

remove the microphone cable while the power

is connected. Ensure that the microphone cable

is balanced and connected Pin 2+, Pin 3 –and

Pin 1 screen.

•Check that you have the NT1000 correctly

connected. You can connect the microphone

directly to the mixer (without an external

supply) if 48V is available on the mixer.

•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 to

be recorded (Voice/Instrument). You are now

ready to use the NT1000.

•Microphone technique and 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. 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 rooms

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!

The NT1000, like all studio microphones,

should be kept dry at all times. The capsule

will be subjected to a lot of moisture during

vocal applications, and we strongly suggest

the use of a ‘Pop-Stop’type screen for all vocal

work.

2. This microphone is a precision transducer and

should be cared for as such. Dropping, or

knocking the NT1000 could damage it so

please take care. Fix the microphone securely

to a dedicated microphone stand using either

the Stand Mount (M2) supplied, or the optional

Shock Mount (SM2).

3. After use, the NT1000 should be removed

from its stand, wiped with a dry soft cloth and

placed in its protective pouch. Be sure to place

the pack of moisture-absorbent crystals (silica

gel) at the head of the microphone. The

crystals will absorb any moisture present.

Eventually this pack will need to be dried.

When the crystals have turned pink, the pack

should be placed in an oven set to between

100-150 degrees C. They will be activated

when they have turned blue.

Note: There are no user-serviceable parts inside

this microphone and so there will never be a

reason for you to dismantle it. To protect your

warranty, any service that requires dismantling

must be performed by a qualiﬁed service

agent.
