Monitor while you perform
Plug headphones into the 3.5 mm output for zero-latency monitoring. Dedicated level and mix controls let you balance the microphone with computer audio. Set listening volume independently of microphone input level, then check normal speech and the louder parts of the performance before recording.
A practical desktop starting point
The included pop filter helps control breath sounds, while the tripod positions the microphone on a desk. Its side-address capsule records at 16-bit/ 48 kHz. Choose the microphone position and recording input around the actual session, then check the level with the loudest expected voice or instrument passage.
Use the Microphone’s Own USB Recording Path
The original NT-USB records at 16-bit/ 48 kHz. Connect it to compatible computer equipment and select the microphone as the recording input in the application. An external XLR interface is not required for this USB signal path; recording software and monitoring settings are chosen around the connected computer.
The Original NT-USB Configuration
This is the original NT-USB condenser microphone with 16-bit/ 48 kHz recording. Its included pop filter and tripod support desktop use, while the headphone level and monitor-mix controls keep listening close at hand. NT-USB+ and NT-USB Mini are separate models with different specifications and physical designs.
Aim the Sensitive Side at the Performance
This condenser uses a side-address recording position. Aim the sensitive front side toward the voice or instrument, then listen while adjusting distance and angle. Use the pop protection and support appropriate for the microphone, keeping the grille clear and the cable from pulling against the mount.

Separate Listening Level from Recording Gain
Where this model provides a headphone output, use it to monitor the microphone and connected playback path. Set listening volume to a comfortable level, then adjust recording gain for the performance. A headphone volume control changes listening level; it does not necessarily change the level being recorded.

Set the intended input in your recording application and choose a mount with the correct thread and supported load.
