General operation

The gold dot on the face of the

NT-USB indicates the front of the

microphone, and the pickup area

of the capsule. The microphone

(and gold dot) should always be

facing towards the sound source

that you wish to record.

On the side of the NT-USB there

are two adjustment knobs.

Diagram 3 - Monitor mix control

and headphone volume control

Monitor mix control

The Monitor mix control (the top knob) is used to ‘mix’ between the direct

microphone signal (your voice for example) and the sound from your audio

recording software on your computer / device (the music that you are singing

along to). By turning the knob counter-clockwise, you will hear more of the

direct microphone signal, and less of the signal coming from the computer

/ device software. If you turn the knob clockwise, you will hear more of the

computer/device signal, and less of the direct microphone signal.

We recommend always beginning with the knob in the centre position. This

will ensure that you are hearing an equal balance of both the direct signal,

and the computer / device signal, enabling you to then achieve an ideal

balance between the signals.

Headphone volume control

The headphone volume control (the bottom knob) allows you to control the

volume of the playback through headphones connected to the NT-USB via the

headphone jack.
