Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Will this connect to an iPad USB?

A: Not directly. You would need mic cables, and a two channel audio interface for an iPad, such as B&H # IKIRIGPRODUO. Please note this setup is best used for recording audio in stereo. Any attempt to live stream would result in a single channel mono pickup, not stereo.

Q: 2. Do these have balanced matched triodes?

A: Yes they do. They are a matched pair of Telefunken E88CC-TK/6922 Black Diamond Series Vacuum Tubes.

Q: 3. Can I plug this into a 3.5mm mini input on my DSLR and camcorder with a Kopul LMT-100 adapter on the end?. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/885062-REG/kopul_lmt_100_lo_to_hi_impedance.html

A: This mic can not be directly plugged into the 3.5mm input of a camera since they require 48v to operate. If you did want to connect this to a camera, you would a mixer with an xlr input and phantom power such as this BH #SASRPAX1.

Q: 8. Why do you need a match pair?

A: Hello Tom, A matched pair of microphones keeps them as accurate as possible for stereo recording techniques. If they are different, then the stereo image could potentially change. If you're recording in stereo, we highly recommend the matched pair.

Q: 9. Is this a matched pair? Or just 2 microphones in a kit without pairing

A: These microphones have not been factory-matched, it is just a pair of two.

Q: 10. Why are my NT5 pairs creating some buzzing noise when the XLR cables are being touched? No matter what gain level it's at, same problem. (Btw, I'm connecting the pairs to the Tascam X8.) Will some better XLR cables help?

A: If buzzing noise occurs when you touch the XLR cables, it could be a problem with the cables and the shielding or a bad ground connection inside the cables. Try swapping out one cable at a time and see if it makes any difference. Keep the mics away from any fluorescent lights, computers, monitors, or other items that tend to hum. You can also try plugging your amplifier, mixer, recorder, interface, or other device that the mics are connected to or any other electronic items within the signal chain into a different power outlet. Sometimes the power line can be the source of the noise. But the first thing to check is the cables. If the cables are good and the noise is coming from the power line, you can use a power conditioner to help eliminate the noise.
