Some tips that may be helpful:
1. Condenser microphones do not like moisture!
The NT5, like all studio microphones, should
be kept dry at all times.
2. This microphone is a precision transducer
and should be cared for as such. Dropping, or
knocking the NT5 could damage it so please
take care. Fix the microphone securely to a
dedicated microphone stand using the Stand
Mount (RM5) supplied.
3. After use, the NT5 should be removed from its
stand, wiped with a dry soft cloth and placed
in its case. Be sure to place the pack of
moisture-absorbent crystals (silica gel) at the
head of the microphone. The crystals will
absorb any moisture present. Eventually this
pack will need to be dried. When the crystals
have turned pink, the pack should be placed
in an oven set to between 100-150 degrees C.
They will be activated when they have turned
blue.
Note: There are no user-serviceable parts inside
this microphone and so there will never be a
reason for you to dismantle it. To protect your
warranty, any service that requires dismantling
must be performed by a qualified service
agent.
