• After use the NT1-A should be removed from its

shock mount, wiped with a dry, soft cloth and

placed in the supplied protective sleeve/dust cover.

• Alternatively if the mic is being used regularly,

we strongly suggest you cover the mic with the

supplied protective sleeve/dust cover. This can

simply be slipped over while the mic is still in the

shock mount.

• 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.
