Rode NT2-A Multi-Pattern Dual 1" Condenser Microphone

RODE NT2A CONDENSER MICROPHONE STUDIO BUNDLE
INCLUDING SM6 SHOCK MOUNT & POP FILTER, CABLE AND MORE..

Designed and manufactured in Sydney, Australia - The new NT2-A is a professional large capsule (1") condenser studio microphone with variable pick-up pattern, Variable high pass filter and variable pad. These features provide greater creative control and versatility. Three 3-position switches located on the mic body provide the freedom to step from Figure 8, Cardioid or Omni polar pick-up patterns; from a flat response to either 80 Hz or 40 Hz high-pass filter and a Pad adjustment of 0 dB, -5 dB or -10 dB attenuation.

The NT2-A carries on the tradition forged by the now legendary RODE NT2. A professional large capsule (1") 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 new 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's variable controls 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.
