I am having trouble with my NT-1 and AI-1.

When i first switched it on, everything works great and it pics up the mic and its all reasonable in terms of volume. After about 5-10 mins the mic output sound goes very quiet and the green light only comes on if u tap the mic and vocals are insanely quiet.

if you turn it off and on again it all goes back to normal for another 10 mins.

I have spent 3 days since receiving this microphone and it simply doesn't work.

Could it be a power issue from the USB.

The Rode NT1-A is Condenser Microphone which requires a pre-amp with 48v phantom power - right? What are you plugging the mic into?

And Rode mics need the full 48 volts.

But this mic sounds defective.

Hi Stutters,

I'm wondering if the AI-1 is outputting phantom power like it's supposed to. Is the red P48 light staying on when this happens?

Thanks

the red phantom power from the AI-1 is always on. its always solid which I would assume means that its working.

like I said. it will work fine and is hyper sensitive if I unplug the AI-1 and turn it back on.

it then goes to recording at about -40 db and is just unaudible without any post.

I don't know why it suddenly just stops working. its very annoying

Ok so did a bit of testing

turn hub on: Perfect audio.

I went away for 10 mins to do some other things and came back

recorded a test piece and it sounded like I was on the other side of the room.

is it a faulty mic?

Replace your cable first. Troubleshoot one thing at a time. Rode has a good reputation, I doubt if it's the mic.


Regards,


Bob

What Windows > Control Panel > power setting is active? You need to use "Everything On" or "Performance". If you have any type of power saving mode enabled the computer may be turning off different things to save power.

Do you have a screen saver that enables after some period of inactivity?

Silly questions perhaps but I just want to make sure as many bases as possible are covered.
