When you begin to notice the change, turn it back
to a lower frequency ‘cut off’ where you can’t hear
the difference and you will have the optimum
setting for that source. This is important as the
NT2000 features a very wide frequency response
which can pick up sounds below 20Hz.
General usage
• Connect all cables before applying power to the
microphone and never remove the microphone
cable while the power is connected.
• The NT2000 requires P48 volts or P24 volts
phantom power.
• If the mixer or preamp does not contain this
phantom power requirement, then an external
phantom power supply is needed.
• Some phantom power supplies do not supply the
voltage at which they are rated. If the required
voltage is not supplied, the dynamic range and
general performance of the microphone will be
reduced.
• We strongly suggest the use of a reputable high
quality power supply. Damage caused by a faulty
power supply is not covered by the warranty.
• Microphone technique, or how to get the sound
you want, requires experimentation.
We suggest that you start with the channel EQ
set to ‘OFF’ or ‘FLAT’ (no boost or cut). Try to get
the sound you want by placing either refl ective or
absorbent panels at various angles adjacent to the
source being recorded.
