Rode NT2-A

Rode NT2-A delivers a timely update to the legendary NT2, which delivered a break through in affordable, professional studio recording condenser microphones. Rode NT2-A features the 'tone' behind countless recording hits of the last decade spawned by the original NT2. Sold by the bucket load throughout the world, Rode NT2 became a modern legend - and now it gets even better with the upgraded NT2A.

Rode wanted to use something special, and there was only one choice, the Australian designed and manufactured HF1 dual diaphragm capsule, the very same transducer at the heart of their internationally acclaimed and multi award winning valve microphone, the K2. Coupling the HF1 capsule to an improved noise flaw with the NT2A simply delivers awesome performance.

Of course, like all RODE microphones the NT2A incorporates the finest electronics and engineering technologies available. Utilizing computer controlled surface mount electronic assembly ensures accuracy and dependability. The microphone housing is acoustically modelled and formed of solid cast metal, polished, bead blasted and nickel plated; all of which ensures your investment lasts a lifetime.Words are easy; let the Rode NT2A speak for itself. You will be convinced it is a worthy successor and a legend in the making. Rode NT-2A Features:
