Rode NTK [7/12] Connecting the ntk

- 7 -

• Having ensured that the power supply is set to the

correct voltage you can begin to connect the NTK

to the power supply. Do not connect the power to

the mains before connecting the microphone.

• Connect the male 7-pin plug of the NTK cable to

the 7-pin input socket on the rear of the power

supply.

• Connect the female 7-pin plug of the NTK cable

to the microphone. Ensure that both plugs are

correctly aligned and pushed ﬁ rmly into their

respective sockets.

• Now connect an XLR microphone cable to the

output socket on the rear of the power supply,

taking that output to your mixer/pre-ampliﬁ er.

• We suggest the use of a high quality cable,

preferably with gold plated contacts. Use as short

a cable as possible, as long cables can adversely

affect sound quality.

• Ensure that the NTK is ﬁ xed securely (using the

supplied stand mount, or optional SM2 shock

mount) to a stable microphone stand. The NTK

condenser microphone is a precision instrument

and should be treated with care.

• Now you can connect the power supply to

the mains supply and begin using the NTK

microphone.
