Acoustic Guitar
A common (single) microphone position when recording acoustic guitar, is
between 20 and 30cm away from the front of the instrument where the neck
and body meet. Adjust the distance and position to ʻfinelyʼ tune the desired
response. This desired response will depend on the instrument, the style of
playing and the sound aspired to.
1. The NT2000 should be mounted in the SM2 shock
mount (Photo 1) which must then be screwed firmly
onto a stable microphone stand.
Connect the plug of a microphone cable (Photo 2)
firmly and securely to the microphone socket
2. We strongly suggest you use a high quality
cable with gold-plated connectors. The cable
should be as short as possible because long
cables may adversely affect sound quality.
A 6 metre cable is a good compromise.
3. The gold dot indicates the front of the
microphone.
There are an infinite number of polar pattern, hi-pass filter and pad
settings available on the NT2000. These settings offer ultimate control
unlike any other studio microphone available today.
4. Select the preferred polar pattern. The top circular dial on the front of
the microphone controls this. (The most common position for regular
vocal recording is cardioid – dial set to the 12 oʼclock position). When the
cardioid position is selected, the microphone picks up sound from the
front of the microphone and rejects sound from the rear.
