Rode's Amazing Multi-Range Condenser Microphone - At an Amazing Price The NT2-A microphone is Rode's answer to the growing needs of today's recording engineers. It was designed with a focus on versatility while maintaining a wide and natural sound. With a frequency response below 20 Hz and above 20 kHz this microphone can pick up the subtle harmonics of any instrument with an extremely high level of detail. Given its wide frequency range and three switchable polar patterns It's easy to see why the NT2-A is becoming an increasingly popular choice in both home and in professional studios for recording acoustic instruments such as drums, vocals and piano. NT2-A - the ideal solution for the engineer who wants to constantly experiment with new and interesting sounds without sacrificing sound quality. Thanks to its flexibility, the NT2-A has become a popular microphone for a wide range of renowned recording artists. From Lil Wayne's iconic vocals to the distinct guitar tone of Queens of the Stone Age, this microphone played a crucial role in shaping the signature sound. Control the polar pattern, pad and filter wheel to get the sound you want using the three-way switches on the front of the NT2-A. Switch between cardioid omnidirectional or figure-of-eight radiation pattern switch between 40Hz and 80Hz flat cuts on the high pass filter and change the pad between 0 -5 dB and -10 dB for recording louder sources without the same risk of distortion. Ability to filter audio during recording rather than during post-recording gives you a more accurate idea of ​​your sound and ultimately your how everything will fit into the mix. Instead of using the EQ section of your mixer which can add noise to the signal by passing it through unnecessary electronics Capture the sound you want ahead of time with the NT2-A High Pass Filter. Thanks to the adjustable characteristics of the NT2-A pickups , all you need is one pair to experiment with a wide range of different stereo microphone techniques such as XY, Blumlein OTRF and Mid-Side. Typically this level of creative control requires a locker full of different microphones as well as a lot of time for complex setup and disassembly. It's easy with NT2-A. Based on the HF1 capsule. The heart of the Rode NT2-A is a 1" HF1 dual diaphragm capsule with internal shock absorber located under a durable steel mesh head. This capsule made popular by the Rode K2 microphone has long earned recognition due to its low noise level ability to withstand high sound pressure levels and a wide dynamic range. Rode developed the NT2-A to expand the capabilities of HF1. Thanks to its transformerless SMT design, the NT2-A microphone has an impressive signal-to-noise ratio of 87 dB and the ability to withstand sound pressure levels up to 147 dB. It means that you get extremely natural and clear sound which matches well with most interfaces and preamps. Includes Studio Solution Pack. Take full advantage of the Rode NT2-A right out of the box with the Studio Solution Pack which includes everything you need to fully integrate the NT2-A into your microphone arsenal. To help you take full advantage of the NT2-A Rode includes an instructional DVD created by a Grammy-nominated producer John Merchant. Watch detailed demonstrations of reliable microphone positions and stereo technology in action on a wide range of instruments. Because dealing with P noise and clicking is a common problem on otherwise excellent tracks Rode included a heavy-duty SM6 shock mount with a built-in shock shield. The Studio Solutions Pack includes a thick 20' XLR cable and a protective dust bag for proper storage which helps ensure the long life of your microphone.
