Introduction

We at RØDE would like to thank you and congratulate

you on investing in the RØDE NT6 Compact Condenser

Microphone with Detachable Capsule.

The RØDE NT6 is speciﬁcally designed for difﬁcult

mounting applications. Although clearly relevant to

instrument miking, the NT6 is extremely well suited

to any situation where a small and unobtrusive, yet

powerful microphone system is required.

The 1/2” (externally biased) gold sputtered capsule is

designed to attach to a custom made, multi-position

swivel mount allowing it to be independently positioned

with ease. The capsule is connected to the remote

pre-ampliﬁer (body) by a custom 3m (10’) Kevlar®ﬁbre

reinforced cable.

The surface-mount pre-ampliﬁer circuit also

incorporates a two position variable PAD with 0 dB and

-10 dB attenuation, and a two position variable high-

pass ﬁlter that enables you to step from a ﬂat response

to 80Hz high pass ﬁlter; both conveniently located away

from the capsule, providing additional control without

the need to move the capsule once in position.

The NT6 is intended for ﬁlm, television, broadcast, live

performance, theatre, surround and environmental

recording applications, or wherever your imagination

takes you.

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 RØDE microphones.

• The NT6 is supplied with a selection of ﬁttings

and adaptors designed to ease positioning and

mounting. The NT6 head attaches to a 2-axis

swivel-mount that allows it to independently move

and lock in position.

• To further increase the versatility of the NT6, it

comes supplied with 2 threaded adaptors, a 1/4”

to 5/8” and a 1/4” to 3/8” that enable the capsule

assembly to be securely attached to a wide variety

of mic stands, tripods and boompoles.

• The larger Adaptor is the 1/4” to 5/8”. When

screwed into the base of the swivel mount it enable

the capsule assembly to be attached to a standard

5/8” thread found on microphone stands.

• The smaller 1/4” to 3/8” adaptor, when screwed

to the base of the swivel mount enables the head

assembly to be attached to a standard tripod or

boompole.

Mounting the NT6

- 7 -

Mounting the NT6

• With the capsule securely in position, you are

ready to connect and position the pre-ampliﬁer

(body) as required. Like the head, the pre-ampliﬁer

is designed to be positioned and/or mounted in

several ways.

• The NT6 comes complete with an RM5 Stand

Mount. When connected to a mic stand the RM5

securely holds the pre-ampliﬁer in position. This

allows the head assembly to be directly suspended

from or positioned independently to that of the

pre-ampliﬁer.

• As long as the pre-ampliﬁer is suitably protected

from the elements it can be positioned as required.

• As with any recording set-up it is best to explore

the options you have available and use the product

within these constraints.

Connecting

the miniature cable

• With the head and pre-ampliﬁer in position and

the XLR cable connected to the back of the

pre-ampliﬁer, it is time to connect the mini-XLR

connectors.

• With the pre-ampliﬁer assembly in one hand and

the mini-XLR in the other, align the key on the

connector to the groove on the back of the pre-

ampliﬁer. Gently insert the connector ensuring you

align the two elements correctly, without applying

excessive force during insertion.

• The same method is to be used when attaching

the min-XLR to the back of the head assembly.

• The miniature connection cable is more than

capable of withstanding the rigours of professional

use, however it is important to understand and

where possible consider the following points:

- 9 -

Connecting

the miniature cable

– The miniature connection cable is Kevlar®

ﬁbre reinforced and designed to withstand

considerable tensile and compressive forces,

however inside this sheath are three copper

wires.

– Always ensure the connectors are correctly

aligned groove-to-key when connecting the

miniature connector’s and do not use excessive

force when inserting and withdrawing.

Cable runs of no greater than 10 m (30’) are

recommended to maintain signal integrity.

Using the NT6

• The NT6 is a phantom powered microphone. To

operate correctly it requires a 24V or 48V phantom

supply from the mixing console or other source.

• It is recommended that you use a high-quality

microphone lead from the preamp body to the

recording device or mixing console, and keep it

as short as practical for your application. This will

ensure the highest quality sound reproduction.

• Please ensure all cable connections are secure

before applying power to the microphone, and

allow a few moments for the microphone to

stabilise after the power is turned on.

• The pre-ampliﬁer (body) incorporates two switches

for varying both the low end frequency response

(HPF) and sensitivity (PAD).
