45553 RØDE NT1000 21/2/01 2:43 PM Page 7 Some tips that may be helpful: 1. Condenser microphones do not like moisture! The NT1000, like all studio microphones, should be kept dry at all times. The capsule will be subjected to a lot of moisture during vocal applications, and we strongly suggest the use of a ‘Pop-Stop’ type screen for all vocal work. 2. This microphone is a precision transducer and should be cared for as such. Dropping, or knocking the NT1000 could damage it so please take care.
