The RØDE K2 is an amazingly quiet and versatile tube microphone at an even more amazing price. The ultimate in pure rich tube sound and performance, the K2 delivers super low self noise (10 dBA), high max SPL (162 dBA), and wide dynamic range (150 dB). Featuring totally variable polar pattern control for an unbeatable combination of flexibility and power, the K2's legendary sound quality inspires those magic takes in even the most demanding recording applications. The new Australian designed and manufactured TYPE HF1 dual diaphragm capsule represents RØDE's finest transducer technology. Coupled with their most advanced high output electronic tube circuitry, the K2 brings out every nuance while still handling even the loudest source material, and is an affordable way to take your studio to the next level.
Includes the SM2 shock mount, a molded plastic case, dedicated Power Supply and 30 ft. dedicated mic cable.
