Rode NT2-A Large-Diaphragm Multipattern Condenser Microphone
The NT2-A is a highly versatile large-diaphragm studio condenser microphone designed to offer pristine audio quality and flexibility in equal measure. Featuring a three-position pad (0dB, -5dB, -10dB), high-pass filter (flat, 40Hz, 80Hz), and polar pattern control (cardioid, omnidirectional, figure-8), it can easily adapt to any recording situation in the studio.
The NT2-A features a dual 1-inch gold-sputtered cardioid condenser capsule with internal shock mounting and offers ultra-low self-noise and full frequency response, evoking the silky smooth character of the legendary microphones of the '50s and '60s.
This true condenser (externally biased) features a 1" gold-sputtered diaphragm that provides a broad frequency response, wide dynamic range, and excellent signal.
With three polar patterns selectable on the mic, the NT2-A offers excellent versatility for single-source close miking (cardioid recommended), dual-source pickup (figure-8 recommended), and room ambiance capture (omnidirectional recommended).
The frequency and transient response of this transducer have been voiced to complement today's recording techniques, and yet still evoke the silky smooth character of the legendary microphones of the '50s and '60s.
The transformerless JFET output electronics result in an ultralow-noise output (just 7 dBA) while maintaining maximum signal gain.
The NT2-A operates reliably on 24 or 48 VDC phantom power, which can be supplied via most XLR-connected mic preamps, mixer channels, or audio interfaces.
