NV-TONE Swan XT External Mocca

A professional external condenser microphone system designed for natural acoustic guitar sound, easy installation and stable live or studio performance.

Included Equipment

Natural sheep wool tone filters included with every microphone
Aluminum microphone body with a flexible neck
Reliable mounting system with soft velvet coating
XLR inverter connector
High-quality 5 m / 16.4 ft audio cable

Power & Connection

The NV-TONE Swan XT uses a condenser microphone system and should be connected to a proper microphone input such as an XLR or combo input on your mixer, amplifier, audio interface or recording equipment.

Enable phantom power when required. If your equipment does not provide phantom power, use an external phantom power adapter.

One of the biggest advantages of this setup is stable sound without batteries. Battery-powered systems can lose sound quality and introduce unwanted noise as power decreases.

How It Works

The NV-Tone Swan microphone delivers a natural, clear and balanced sound on both classical nylon-string guitars and acoustic steel-string guitars.

How NV-TONE Swan microphone works with amplifiers, audio interfaces and live sound systems

1 Install the microphone inside your guitar using the official NV-Tone installation guide.

2 Connect the microphone to the XLR input of your audio interface, mixer, preamp or recorder.

3 Enable phantom power. The microphone works with +12V to +48V phantom power.

4 Adjust input gain and output volume. Usually 30–40% is enough.

5 Play, record or perform live with a stable and natural microphone sound.

Important: If your equipment does not provide +12–48V phantom power, use an external phantom power supply such as XVIVE P1, BEHRINGER PS400, ART Phantom I, Mackie M48, PSC 48 Phantom or a similar device.

Alternative Mounting Method with 3M Dual Lock SJ3540

For players who prefer a removable installation, the microphone can also be mounted inside the guitar using 3M Dual Lock SJ3540. This method provides a firm hold without drilling the guitar body.

Benefits of this method

Strong fixation: 3M Dual Lock provides a stronger hold than regular Velcro and can safely support the microphone mount.
No drilling: the guitar body does not need to be drilled or permanently modified.
Vibration reduction: the dense structure of the fastener helps reduce unwanted vibration transfer.
Removable installation: the microphone can be attached or removed when needed.

Installation recommendations

Clean the mounting area inside the guitar from dust and rough particles.
Degrease the surface using a safe cleaner suitable for musical instruments.
Apply the 3M Dual Lock tape firmly to the selected area.
Allow the adhesive to set for 24 hours before attaching the microphone.

Installation & Operation Guide

The NV-Tone Swan microphone system is designed for quick installation and professional performance on both classical and acoustic guitars.
