Rode NT2-A [8/16] Applications acoustic guitar

Applications - Acoustic Guitar

A common (single) microphone position when recording

acoustic guitar, is between 20 and 30 cm away from the

front of the instrument where the neck and body meet.

Adjust the distance and position to ‘finely’ tune the

desired response. This desired response will depend on the

instrument, the style of playing and the sound aspired to.

1. Mount the NT2-A on the supplied M2 shock mount (g. 5)

then rmly secure the mic & mount assembly to a stable

mic stand. Connect the XLR plug of the microphone cable

(g. 6) rmly and securely to the microphone socket.

2. We strongly suggest you use a high quality oxygen-free

copper 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. Always position the gold dot facing towards the guitar.
