Introduction

I want to thank you for your purchase of the

NT1000 large diaphragm microphone.

With its ultra low 6 dBA self-noise and transformer less

SMT circuitry, the RØDE NT1000 exhibits exceptional

performance when recording both vocals and

instruments in the studio.

Voiced for ‘application versatility’, the NT1000 has been

hailed by many as the ultimate drum over-head and

grand piano mic selection.

The NT1000 is also equally at home as a ﬁrst call

vocal mic. With its Australian made 1” HF-2 capsule

incorporating internal shock mounting, the NT1000

boasts a 134 dB dynamic range and 140 dBA SPL

capabilities as well as a 20 Hz - 20 kHz frequency

response.

Please take the time to visit www.rodemic.com and

While there you can view studio tips and techniques, as

well as browse the comprehensive range of accessories

for the NT1000 and other microphones.

Using the NT1000

• The NT1000 requires a power supply which for

optimum results should be a ‘P48’ standard,

48 Volt DC Supply.

Most professional mixing consoles have an internal

48 V 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 the warranty.

• The NT1000 comes complete with a microphone

stand-mount (RM2). This should be used to attach

the microphone to a good quality stand.

*Online product registration required.

- 6 -

The stand-mount includes a thread adaptor

allowing connection to either 3/8” or 5/8”

stand thread.

• Always use a high quality microphone cable and

ensure that it is wired Pin 1 screen, Pin 2 (+), Pin 3 (-).

• We recommend that any connections made to the

mixer or recorder are made with the attenuation

(gain) set to OFF.

• When ﬁrst switching the mixer on and phantom

power has been applied to the NT1000 you should

allow several seconds for the microphone to

stabilize.

• To ensure the lowest noise/distortion your mixer

input gain control should be set so that the Peak

Program Indicator (PPI) LED ﬂashes ON during

peaks of the source (voice/instrument).

If there is no PPI, adjust the input gain while

listening for distortion of the sound. If distortion is

heard, gradually reduce the gain until it is no longer

present.

• 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.

Using the NT1000

- 7 -

• Changing the acoustic properties of the space

around the microphone is our recommended initial

approach for obtaining best sound quality.

Remember you cannot change a room’s acoustic

properties with EQ.

When the preferred sound has been achieved

(as above) then EQ and effects such as reverb

or indeed any signal processing can be used for

enhancement, but should be used sparingly.

Using the NT1000

• After use, the NT1000 should be removed from its

stand or shock mount, wiped with a dry, soft cloth

and placed in its protective zip pouch or case with

the supplied moisture-absorbent crystals.

• Be sure to place the moisture-absorbent crystals

(supplied) at the head of the microphone, so as to

absorb any moisture present.

Eventually this pack of crystals will need to be

dried. This is indicated by the crystals turning pink

in colour.

They can easily be re-used by placing them in an

oven at 100 - 150 degrees celsius for approximately

ten minutes. The crystals will operate effectively

again once they have turned blue.

Warranty

All microphones are warranted for one year

from date of purchase. You can extend that to a full

ten years if you register online at www.rodemic.com.

The warranty covers parts and labour that may be

required to repair the microphone during the warranty

period. The warranty excludes defects caused by

normal wear and tear, modiﬁcation, shipping damage,

or failure to use the microphone as per the instruction

guide.

If you experience any problem, or have any questions

regarding your microphone, ﬁrst contact the

dealer who sold it to you. If the microphone requires a

factory authorised service, return will be organised by

that dealer.

We have an extensive distributor/dealer network, but

if you have difﬁculty getting the advice or assistance

you require, do not hesitate to contact us directly.
