Using the NT6
Storage
- 11 -
• After use the NT6 head should be wiped with a dry,
soft cloth, and both head and body placed in the
protective case.
• 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.
• The PAD settings provide a 10 dB reduction in
sensitivity or commonly referred to as attenuation,
and a two-position variable High-Pass Filter that
enables you to step from a fl at response to 80 Hz
high pass fi lter; both conveniently located away
from the head, providing additional control without
the need to move the head once in position.
• 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.
