Powering the NT3
• The NT3 can be powered by either phantom power
or 9 volt battery (see specifi cations).
• Most professional mixing consoles include a 48v
phantom power supply, however in the case that
one does not a separate power supply may be
used.
• If phantom power is not available on your
equipment and you do not have a power supply,
you will need to use battery power. A 9 Volt (PP3)
battery should be fi tted into the cavity within the
microphone body ensuring correct polarity (+ to +
and - to -).
• We recommend that you use a high quality alkaline
battery. Tests have shown a life expectancy for
a high quality alkaline battery used in the NT3
to be in excess of 400 hours. This is roughly the
equivalent of 8 hours usage per week for a year.
