How to use

Mount the NT1 Signature Green in the supplied studio-grade shock mount and position it at an appropriate distance from the sound source (typically 10–30 cm for vocals). Connect the microphone to your audio interface or mixer using the included premium XLR cable and provide the required DC power. Use the pop filter to reduce plosives and adjust gain on your preamp/interface to achieve a clean signal without clipping. For instrument recording, experiment with placement and angle to capture the desired tonal balance.

Recommendations

For best results, record in a treated or quiet environment, use the supplied shock mount and pop filter to minimise handling noise and plosives, and set input gain so peaks remain below clipping while preserving detail. Regularly check connections and keep the microphone body clean; store the microphone in a dry place when not in use.
