Thank you for purchasing a RØDE NT 1.

To achieve the best performance, and to obtain a

lifetime of service, we urge you to spend a few

minutes reading this manual.

When we started the NT 1 design project, our

goal was to produce a professional recording

microphone that was equal to the worlds best; a

microphone that had the magic ‘RØDE sound’

made famous by the NT 2 and Classic. That goal

has been achieved.

You have joined thousands of other satisfied

customers world-wide who choose and

recommend RØDE above any other make,

regardless of price.

As a RØDE customer, you are very important to

us. We have a world-wide distributor and dealer

network. If however, you cannot get the

assistance or advice you need, please do not

hesitate to contact me directly.

Company History

RØDE is the main manufacturing division of

Freedman Electronics. Freedman Electronics was

founded by Henry and Astrid Freedman in 1966

after emigrating from Sweden where Henry’s long

and illustrious audio career began.

The company is based in Sydney Australia, home

of the 2000 Olympic games. Electronics design,

testing and manufacturing is performed at this

facility. The Engineering of the metal work is

performed at a dedicated C.N.C. facility located

250 km from the city.

We hope you are and will continue to be satisfied

with your purchase.

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 to be recorded

(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.

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 can occur when

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

between 100-150oC. 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.

Warranty Service:

All RØDE products are warranted for one year

from date of purchase and the warranty card

should be used to register that purchase.

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, 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 RØDE microphone,

first contact the Dealer who sold it to you. If the

microphone requires Factory authorized service,

return will be organized by that Dealer.
