Introduction

Thank you for investing in the NT4 stereo condenser

microphone.

The NT4 solves the age-old problem of stereo

recording by eliminating the need to purchase matched

pairs and the associated complex set-up bars and

adaptors to get professional results. With a fi xed 90

Degree X/Y confi guration and perfectly matched stereo

condenser capsules, the NT4 lets you record any source

with immaculate stereo detail.

The NT4 has a 128 dB dynamic range, 143 dBA SPL and

low self-noise. Offering selectable battery or phantom

power operation with power indicator light, the NT4 is

ideally suited to both studio and location recording.

Please take the time to visit www.rodemic.com and

register your microphone for a full ten year warranty.

While there you can view recording tips and techniques,

as well as browse the comprehensive range of
