Rode NT4 [11/12] Storage

- 11 -

• Like all condenser microphones, the NT4 should be

kept dry and clean at all times.

• The NT4 is a precision transducer and you should

be careful not to drop or knock it as this could

cause serious damage.

• Be sure to place the moisture-absorbent crystals

(supplied) at the head of the microphone(s), so

as to absorb any moisture present. Eventually

this pack of crystals will need to be dried. This is

indicated by the crystals turning pink in colour.

They can easily be re-used by placing them in an

oven at 100 - 150 degrees celsius for approximately

ten minutes. The crystals will operate effectively

again once they have turned blue.

Using the NT4

Storage

• Location recording: When using the NT4

outdoors, care must be taken to avoid excessive

handling noise and wind noise. As with all

condenser microphones, the NT4 is sensitive to

strong gusts of wind and so should be adequately

shielded. The supplied wind shield (WS4) is

designed for vocal applications and indoors only.

The WS4 is typically not effective enough outdoors

in high wind conditions – in this instance we

recommend the optional RØDE Dead Kitten furry

windshield.
