The RØDE K2 is a tube condenser microphone with two 1" gold-sputtered diaphragms. The continuously variable polar pattern, from omnidirectional to cardioid to bidirectional (figure 8), offers exceptional freedom and flexibility for quality recordings. The technical specifications (such as the maximum sound pressure level of 162dB) present state-of-the-art features, combined with a sound reminiscent of the legendary microphones of the 1950s. This microphone is ideal for vocals, countless instruments, as well as for capturing room acoustics ("ambience") with fabulous depth. The RØDE K2 is designed and manufactured in Australia and is backed by a free 10-year RØDE warranty. • Large 1" gold-sputtered capsule with internal suspension • Extremely low self-noise • Wide dynamic range • Class A tube circuitry • Dual Triode 6922 sorted • External power supply • Robust welded and heat-treated steel grille • Continuously adjustable polar pattern.
