Introduction

Thank you for investing in the NT5 studio

condenser microphone.

Whether you’ve purchased this mic on its own, or as

a part of a matched pair set, I’m conﬁdent that you

will ﬁnd the NT5 is a masterpiece of small-diaphragm

cardioid-condenser microphone design.

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 NT5 and other microphones.

Using the NT5

• The NT5 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 NT5 to a faulty

power supply is not covered by the warranty.

• The NT5 comes complete with a microphone

stand-mount (RM5). 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.

• Always use a high quality microphone cable and

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

You may of course use XLR-XLR, XLR-jack or XLR-

mini-jack depending on your input socket.

*Online product registration required.

• 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 NT5, or when the

battery power has just been switched on, 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.

• 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.

• Please note that whether using NT5s in mono,

stereo, as overheads or for close miking

of instruments, there is no substitute for

experimentation in achieving optimum positioning.

Move the NT5, adjust the gain, and ensure that the

sound you are monitoring is the sound you prefer.

If it is not, make adjustments.

The NT5’s frequency response and SPL handling

enable it to respond well to most musical

instruments and with correct use, we are conﬁdent

of your satisfaction.

It is important that you listen to the sound source

naturally before you begin mic set up for recording

(ears only). If you don’t like what you hear, you won’t

like what you record!

• After use the NT5 should be removed from its

stand 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(s), 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.
