Re: Rode NT1-A requires 3 minutes warm-up time
Hi Jules. I've put on my magnifying ocular and cleaned the flux, debris and the burned coating. When I looked more closely with the magnifying ocular, I also noticed a kind of greasy film all over the

Re: Rode NT1-A requires 3 minutes warm-up time
I will clean the flux and debris off tomorrow. Many thanks for the explanation, Jules. That would explain the newly discovered behavior.

Re: Rode NT1-A requires 3 minutes warm-up time
Clean the flux and debris off with isopropyl alcohol the test. If you want to reseal it you can use clear nail polish. Next question: phantom power is used to generate the internal voltage used by

Re: Rode NT1-A requires 3 minutes warm-up time
Many thanks for pointing me to the area and the detailed instructions to clean it up! I will give it a try to remove the discolored coating and flux. It will take some time because I have to order

Re: Rode NT1-A requires 3 minutes warm-up time
I tried your suggestion. But as soon as I remove the cover, connect the XLR cable and switch on the phantom power, the mic is caught in a ground loop. Or is it because the EMI/RFI shield is missing? I

Re: Rode NT1-A requires 3 minutes warm-up time
Heinz, can you take a picture that zooms in on the high-Z area around the red wire? The picture becomes too blurry to see all the details when zooming in, but it looks like there has been some

I've tried - the finest small soft artist's brush, distilled water, the slightest touch with wet bristles near parallel to the diaphragm -? the answer, for most of us mortals, is... no. Gold comes

Re: Rode NT1-A requires 3 minutes warm-up time
From the images posted the capsule doesn't look too bad, honestly, i.e. pretty normal for an older/used mic I'd say, but I'm not an expert. (Of course you can't tell for sure from a visual inspection

Re: Rode NT1-A requires 3 minutes warm-up time
High humidity is a real problem here. I usually store microphones in dry boxes. Especially during the hot and humid summer season. The NT1-a seems to be particularly susceptible to moisture. Here are

Re: Rode NT1-A requires 3 minutes warm-up time
...but sometimes capsules can cut in and out due to humidity causing a short on the capsule, no? Maybe not in the pattern we're seeing in this particular case, but just spitballing... I had a CAD

A short update. I tried a continuous test recording near the house for several hours today. After 3 minutes, the recording continued for about an hour. Then the recording was paused for about 6

Re: Rode NT1-A requires 3 minutes warm-up time
It is very unlikely that capsule contamination causes the delayed warm-up time you describe. If the capsule were at fault, the mic would not start working later; the problem would be

Hi together I recently purchased a Rode NT1-a from a thrift store with a ¡°No Tone¡± sticker on it. If I connect it to the audio interface and activate phantom power it doesn't work. Miraculously,
