Using the NT-USB with your Apple iPad

®

The NT-USB can be used to record with an Apple iPad using

the USB Camera Connection Kit applicable to your iPad version

(available as an accessory from most Apple retailers).

To record with the NT-USB on an iPad, simply connect the

microphone to your iPad via the Camera Connection Kit, and

the NT-USB will automatically replace the iPad’s internal audio

circuitry as the input and output source.

From there, you can record the NT-USB using your preferred

application. We recommend using ‘RØDE Rec’ (RØDE’s dedicated

audio app), Apple’s ‘GarageBand’ app, or Imageline’s ‘FL Studio

Mobile’ app.

Safety & maintenance

After use the NT-USB should be removed from its tripod mount,

wiped with a dry, soft cloth and placed in the supplied protective

pouch.

Be sure to place the moisture-absorbent crystals (supplied) at the

head of the microphone, 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.

After using the pop filter we recommend wiping it down with a

clean, dry cloth to prevent a build-up of moisture.
