RODE Microphones NT5 - Manual (Page 7)

• Please note that whether using NT5s in mono,
stereo, as overheads or for close miking
of instruments, there is no substitute for
experimentation in achieving optimum positioning.
Move the NT5, adjust the gain, and ensure that the
sound you are monitoring is the sound you prefer.
If it is not, make adjustments.
The NT5’s frequency response and SPL handling
enable it to respond well to most musical
instruments and with correct use, we are confi dent
of your satisfaction.
It is important that you listen to the sound source
naturally before you begin mic set up for recording
(ears only). If you don’t like what you hear, you won’t
like what you record!
• After use the NT5 should be removed from its
stand mount, wiped with a dry, soft cloth and
placed in its protective zip pouch or case with the
supplied moisture-absorbent crystals.
• Be sure to place the moisture-absorbent crystals
(supplied) at the head of the microphone(s), so as
to absorb any moisture present.
Eventually this pack of crystals will need to be
dried. This is indicated by the crystals turning pink
in colour.
They can easily be re-used by placing them in an
oven at 100 - 150 degrees celsius for approximately
ten minutes. The crystals will operate effectively
again once they have turned blue.
