The Rode NT2-A Multi-Pattern 1" Dual Condenser Microphone is an incredibly versatile large-diaphragm microphone optimized for pristine audio quality and flexibility. A three-position pad (0dB, -5dB, -10dB), high-pass filter (flat, 40Hz, 80Hz) and polar pattern control (cardioid, omnidirectional, figure-8) compile in this microphone to result in a highly capable microphone perfect for studio versatility. Bring this condenser in to adapt to any studio recording situation and hear the difference. The NT2-A comes designed with a dual 1-inch gold-sputtered cardioid condenser capsule with internal shock mounting and offers ultra-low self-noise and full frequency response. With these features, the NT2-A records with a character reminiscent of legendary microphones of the '50s and '60s.
