RODE NT2-A Multi Pattern Dual 1" Studio Condenser Microphone + FREE 6 meter XLR lead

RODE NT2-A Multi Pattern Dual 1" Studio Condenser Microphone + FREE 6 meter XLR lead

The Rode NT2-A is a professional large capsule (1 inch) studio microphone incorporating three-position pick-up patterns, pad and high pass filter switches conveniently located on the mic body.

At the heart of the NT2-A is the Australian designed and manufactured HF1 dual diaphragm capsule. The frequency and transient response of this transducer has been voiced to complement today’s modern recording techniques, and yet still evoke the silky smooth character of the legendary microphones of the 50’s and 60’s. These features provide the flexibility and superlative audio characteristics that make the NT2-A one of the most versatile condenser mics available.

The NT2-A has variable controls that allow switching between Omni, Figure 8, and Cardioid polar patterns. The three position high-pass filter provides a flat response or an 80Hz and 40Hz high pass filter to be selected. Finally the microphones Pad can be switched between 0 dB, -5dB and -10dB. The NT2-A comes in a soft pouch with an M2 stand mount.
