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.
