NT55 Instruction Manual www.rodemic.com (EMC, LVD) 052-950-2-2_NT55_Manual_small_size.
Introduction Thank you for investing in the condenser microphone. NT55 studio Whether you’ve purchased this mic on its own, or as a part of a matched pair set, I’m confident that you will find the NT55 is a masterpiece of small-diaphragm cardioid-condenser microphone design. Although clearly relevant to instrument miking, the NT55 is extremely well suited to situations where a small ‘unobtrusive’ yet powerful microphone system is required.

Changing the capsules • The NT45 capsules are designed to be userfriendly, making the interchanging of capsules a simple procedure. • Ensure that the mic is disconnected from all power by removing the XLR. Once this is done the capsule can be easily unscrewed from the NT55 body. • Take extra care with the body and capsule when they are apart and avoid exposure to any moisture and dust. Always store all components in the case provided.
Powering the NT55 • For optimum performance the NT55 requires a “P48” phantom power supply (48 Volt DC). • Most professional mixing consoles have an internal 48 V supply; alternatively you can purchase a separate supply. Ensure that the power supply you use is a professional unit that is operating correctly. • Damage resulting from the connection of the NT55 to a faulty power supply is not covered by the warranty.
Warranty All microphones are warranted for one year from date of purchase. You can extend that to a full ten years if you register online at www.rodemic.com. The warranty covers parts and labour that may be required to repair the microphone during the warranty period. The warranty excludes defects caused by normal wear and tear, modification, shipping damage, or failure to use the microphone as per the instruction guide.
