Setting the
High-Pass Filter
Setting the PAD
Storage
The High-Pass Filter setting can be used to reduce
the microphone’s sensitivity to low frequency sounds,
and is useful when you wish to avoid additional noise
and vibration from outside traffi c, air conditioning and
machinery, foot tapping etc.
The middle selector switch on the front of the NT2-A can
be used to set the High-Pass Filter to 0Hz/Flat (center
position), 40Hz (lower position) or 80Hz (upper position).
The PAD setting can be used to attenuate the output
level of the microphone so that it does not exceed the
maximum input level of your recording device. This is
useful when recording high SPL sources such as guitar
amplifi ers or percussion.
The bottom selector switch on the front of the NT2-A can
be used to set the PAD at 0 (center position), -5dB (lower
position) or -10dB (upper position).
•
After use the NT2-A should be removed from its
mount, wiped with a dry, soft cloth and placed in the
provided microphone sleeve/dust cover.
• 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.
