Thank you for investing
in your RØDE NTV™.
You now own a very
special microphone.
The Engineers at 5'(
Who are also musicians
And recording engineers
Spent a great deal of
time in evaluating the
many components that
make up this precision
microphone.
The NTV™ utilises some
of the worlds’ finest electronic components that
were selected for their musicality and lack of
distortion. These parts are not standard low cost
items, they are amongst the best money can buy.
This uncompromising ‘build’ philosophy was carried
out in all parts of the project.
These specialised components include:
•The new RØDE, 1” edge connected capsule
•A custom made Jensen™ output
transformer
•Capacitors include ones made by
Solen™, Wima™ and the esoteric
Black Gates™
•Custom double screened cable and
military specification connectors
•Hand selected and graded ECC81
valve
•C.N.C. machined stainless steel
microphone body.
SPECIFICATIONS:
Capsule: NEW 1” Edge Connected Design
Valve: Selected Twin Triode ECC81
Polar Pattern: Cardioid
Frequency Response: 20 Hz –20 kHz
Noise: <19dBA
Sensitivity: 15 mV/Pa
Max SPL: 130db
Output Impedance: 200 ohm
The NTV comes complete with all accessories and a
full list is detailed as follows:
•NTV Microphone (NTV-0001)
•NTV Power Supply (NTV-0002)
•NTV Multi-core Cable (NTV-0003)
•NTV Shock Mount (NTV-0004)
•NTV Stand Mount (NTV-0005)
•NTV Mains Lead (NTV-0006)
•NTV Road Case (NTV-0007)
NOTE: There are NO user-serviceable parts
inside the NTV supply, but there are
potentially lethal voltages. If the supply
does not work correctly, you should
consult either the dealer you purchased
the microphone from, or a qualified
electronic technician. Do not under any
circumstance open the unit yourself
Before using the NTV™
•Ensure the NTV has been set to the correct
voltage as used in your country before using
the microphone.
•The back panel of the NTV Power Supply has a
Mains Input Socket that includes a Switch, Fuse
and Voltage Selector (see below).
•The NTV can be used with mains supply
voltages of either 100-120V 50/60Hz or 220-
240V 50/60Hz.
•To select for 100/120V use, set the Voltage
Selector to 120V and ensure you use a 500 mA
slow blow fuse
•To select 220-240V use, set the Voltage
Selector to 240V and use a 250 mA slow
blow fuse.
Now that you have ensured the Power Supply is set
to the Correct voltage, you can begin to connect the
NTV microphone to its supply.
•Take the NTV Multi-core Cable and plug it into
the female socket on the back of the supply. To
align the pins, simply locate the silver dot on the
male plug and have this facing upwards.
•To mount the NTV you can either use the Shoc
k
Mount (NTV-0004) or the Stand Mount (NTV-
0005).
NTV-0004 NTV-0005
•In this example we will use the shock mount.
Screw the shock mount onto a stable microphone
stand. We suggest that you use a stand with
three legs for stability. Tighten the side mounted
thumb screw on the shock mount and then pick
up the microphone cable (female end) and the
NTV. Place the NTV through the central hole of
the shock mount.
•Place the plug into the microphone socket by
aligning the gold dot on the NTV with the silver
dot on the plug and simply tighten until the
microphone is held firmly. Now you have the NTV
connected to the supply and sitting in its shock
mount. The use of the shock mount will reduce
floor-borne vibrations from being picked up by the
NTV, and is the suggested ‘set-up’ when critical
recordings are to be made.
•Now activate the mains switch. There is a blue
LED on the front panel. This will not be lit
immediately when the power is switched on. The
LED drive circuit feeds off the filament voltage of
the valve and so will become brighter as the valve
reaches operating point. This then provides you
with a visual indication of when the NTV is ready
for use.
•Now all you need to do is connect a microphone
cable to the output of the NTV supply and your
preamplifier. We suggest you use a high quality
microphone cable with gold-plated contacts. Try
and use a cable as short as possible, as long
cable runs will adversely affect sound quality!
•For vocal use we suggest you use a ‘Pop
Stopper’ wind screen which will aid in reducing
high level plosives. You are now ready to record!
•There is an Earth Lift switch on the back panel of
the NTV supply (see over). It is there so you
Earth Lift Switch
May remove the signal earth from the NTV if an earth
loop occurs. This loop shows itself as a mains
frequency hum in the signal when two devices that
are both earthed are connected together.
Never remove the mains earth; doing
so can have lethal consequences!
