Please take the time to read this manual as it contains information that will help you achieve the best results from your microphone, as well as help you get many years of reliable service from your investment.

NT55 fig. 2 NT55 fig. 3 You will notice the holder is quite firm. This is intended to stop the mic from coming loose. Ensure you leave the high-pass filter and Pad controls facing upwards to enable quick access (see fig. 3). As with any recording set-up it is best to explore the options you have available and use the product within these constraints. Connecting your XLR cable of the NT55, align the slot on the XLR connector to the groove on the inside of NT55 body and insert (see fig 4).

NT55 Changing capsules The NT55 capsules are designed to be user friendly and switching between capsules is easy. Use the high pass filter when you wish to remove low frequency noise that is not part of your intended sound source. First make sure that the mic is disconnected from all power by removing the XLR.
