2Introduction
The NT1 is a studio quality condenser microphone, designed for
highly detailed sound reproduction. It features a cardioid polar
pattern, meaning that it will pick up sound from directly in front of
the microphone, and reject sound from the rear of the mic. This
pickup pattern allows for recording of the desired sound source
while reducing the sound of other instruments or sound sources.
The NT1 is not only ideal for recording music, but is a fantastic
microphone for podcasting and voiceovers, as well as sound design.
The extremely low inherent noise of the NT1 also makes it perfect
for recording very quiet sound sources.

Connect all cables before supplying phantom power to the
microphone and never remove the microphone cable while the
power is connected.
The NT1 requires 48V DC (P48) or 24V DC (P24) phantom power.
If the mixer or preamp does not contain this phantom power
requirement, then an external phantom power supply is needed.
Some phantom power supplies do not supply the voltage at which
they are rated. If the required voltage is not supplied, the dynamic
range and general performance of the microphone will be reduced.
We strongly suggest the use of a reputable high quality power
supply. Damage caused by a faulty power supply is not covered
under warranty.
Powering the NT1
148-950-1-13_NT1_multilingual_manual.indd 8148-950-1-13_NT1_multilingual_manual.indd 8 13/08/2013 2:51:42 PM13/08/2013 2:51:42 PM
What is Phantom Power?
All condenser microphones require a power source to operate the
internal circuitry of the microphone.
Phantom power is a DC voltage, supplied to the microphone
through the XLR cable, providing the microphone circuit with the
power it requires to operate, without the need for an external
microphone power supply.
Most mixing desks, audio interfaces, and preamp units have a
phantom power switch inbuilt. If your equipment doesn’t have a
phantom power supply, an external one can be purchased and used
in-line between the preamp and the NT1. Be sure to check that your
phantom power supply is either P48 (48V DC) or P24 (24V DC) to
operate the NT1 correctly.

The SMR shock mount
The NT1 is supplied with
the SMR shock mount.
Featuring suspension based
around the Rycote® Lyre®
system, it is designed to
isolate the microphone from
mechanical noise caused
by vibrations, bumps, and
other low frequency noises
in the recording space.
To mount the NT1, first
remove the threaded ring
from the bottom of the
microphone. From there,
place the microphone in
the mount from above, and
attach the ring underneath
the mount to secure the
microphone in place.
