Instruction Manual

NT55

I want to thank you for purchasing a

NT55.

Please take the time to read this manual

as it contains information that will help

you achieve the best results from your

microphone, as well as help you get

many years of reliable service from

your investment.

Although clearly relevant to instrument

mic’ing, the NT55 is extremely well suited

to situations where a small ‘unobtrusive’

but powerful microphone system is

required.

The NT55 utilises the 1/2” (externally

biased) gold sputtered true condenser

transducer used in the internationally

renowned RØDE NT5. The NT55, is

a state-of-the-art low noise balanced

output microphone, exhibiting a wide

dynamic range and full frequency

response.

The NT55 circuit incorporates a

3-position variable pad: 0, -10 or 20dB

attenuation, and a 3 -position variable

high-pass filter that enables you to step

from a flat response to 75 or 150 Hz high

pass filter.

The NT55 is intended for Film,

Television, Broadcast, Live Performance,

Theatre, Surround and Environmental

recording applications or wherever your

imagination takes you.

The NT55 comes with 2 different

condenser microphone heads to provide

a wide variety of polar patterns.

The NT55 is complemented with a

diverse range of accessories to better

facilitate positioning and attachment. For

more details of these accessories and any

additions to the range visit our website:

Powering your NT55

The

NT55

is designed to operate

from phantom power to the P48

standard,

between 44 V and 52

V and P24 standard, between 20

V and 28 V, applied with positive

polarity to pin 2 and pin 3 of the

output XLR connector.

The

NT55

will operate

satisfactorily into a load

impedance as low as 1 k

. If a

load below this is used, the output

signal level will be reduced.

The

NT55

output is balanced between

pin 2 (hot) and pin 3 (cold). Pin 1

is ground.

Mounting your NT55

The NT55 comes complete with

RM5 Stand Mount (see fig. 1).

When connected to a mic stand

the RM5 securely holds

the mic in position. As

long as the NT55 is

suitably protected from

the elements it can be

positioned as required.

Before placing the

NT55 into the RM5

stand mount, remove all

cables and connectors

to eliminate the possibility of

damaging the connectors.

Place the NT55 into the RM5 by

pushing the mic in on an angle

(see figs. 2 & 3).

You will notice the holder is quite

firm. This is intended to stop the

mic from coming loose. Ensure

you leave the high-pass filter and

Pad controls facing upwards to

enable quick access (see fig. 3).

As with any recording set-up it

is best to explore the options

you have available and use the

product within these constraints.

Connecting your XLR cable

The NT55 offers a balanced

microphone level output and is

wired as follows: Pin 1 “earth”, Pin

2 “+” and Pin 3 “-”.

Make sure you use a high quality

low loss XLR cable that is as short

as practical to avoid losses and

distortion.

To connect the XLR to the back

of the NT55, align the slot on

the XLR connector to the groove

on the inside of NT55 body and

insert (see fig 4). Ensure that the

connector can not be removed

without depressing the release

button.

(See fig. 5).

NT55 Controls

Now that you have the NT55

securely fastened to a mic stand

or tripod etc., and the audio

output XLR connected, you are

ready to fine tune your setup.

The NT55

incorporates 2

3-position switches for varying

both the low end frequency

response (HPF) and sensitivity

(Pad) (see fig. 6)

The Pad setting provides a 10

or 20 dB reduction in sensitivity

and is commonly referred to

NT55

fig. 7

fig. 8

as attenuation. The 3-position

variable High-Pass Filter enables

you to step from a flat response to

75 or 150 Hz cut.

Use the high pass filter when you

wish to remove low frequency

noise that is not part of your

intended sound source.

Remember however the tonal

characteristics will be affected

by this, so it is important that

you listen to the sound with and

without the HPF in circuit before

deciding if it is appropriate for the

source.

A small screwdriver or pen can be

used to alter the switch positions

as required.

Interchangeable capsules

To further enhance the versatility

of the NT55,

has a range

of interchangeable capsules that

enable the response pattern to be

tailored for specific applications.

Designed and manufactured in

Australia, these capsules offer low

noise and low distortion as well as

high SPL capabilities.

Changing capsules

The NT55 capsules are designed

to be user friendly and switching

between capsules is easy.

First make sure that the mic is

disconnected from all power by

removing the XLR. Once this is

done the capsule can be easily

unscrewed from the NT55 body

(See fig. 7).

Take extra care with the body

and capsule when they are

apart and avoid exposure to any

moisture and dust. Always store all

components in the case provided.

Replace the desired capsule

onto the body by screwing it into

position (See fig 8).

NT55 Applications

The NT55 is intended for Film,

Television, Broadcast, Live

Performance, Theatre, Surround

and Environmental recording

applications; or wherever your

imagination takes you.
