Microphone placement

There are no set rules when it comes to microphone placement,

but the tips below are a great starting point to achieve great results

in most scenarios. Don’t be afraid to experiment with your own mic

placements to produce the sound that you’d like to pick up with

your NT1.

Recording vocals

• We strongly recommend using the supplied pop shield

attachment for all vocal recording. This aids in minimising

plosive sounds (hard ‘P’, ‘B’, ‘T’ and ‘K’ sounds) that produce

a sudden jet of air which can cause the capsule to overload

and produce a ‘popping’ sound.

• Moisture on the microphone capsule can cause problems for

any condenser microphone. Using the pop shield will reduce

the risk of this occurring.

• Placement of the microphone relative to the vocalist may

be varied on several factors including room acoustics, the

vocal performance, and whether the vocalist has a high or

deep voice.
