Rode K2
Tube Condenser Microphone
Item: RDK2
The Rode K2 is a precision variable pattern dual 1” condenser tube microphone that delivers richly detailed tube sound with super low 10dBA self noise, huge 162dBA SPL, and a mega-wide dynamic range of 150dBand. The totally variable polar pattern control makes it flexible enough for just about any studio task. Coupled with Rode's high-output tube circuitry, the K2 brings out every nuance while handling the loudest sources from cranked-up stacks to screaming vocals. The Rode K2 is the result of designing and building thousands of tube microphones.
The K2's HF-1 capsule is the pinnacle of transducer technology. The sound quality combines modern high-end specifications with the character and subtleties of the legendary 50's mics. The K2 is another example of Rode's commitment to building quality studio microphones to meet the exacting standards demanded by today's professionals.
