Rode NT2A Multi Pattern 1” Condenser Microphone

RODE NT2A Details ^top

The new NT2-A carries on the tradition forged by the now legendary RØDE NT2. A professional large capsule (1”) studio microphone incorporating three-position pick-up patterns, pad and high pass filter switches conveniently located on the mic body.

At the heart of the NT2-A is the Australian designed and manufactured HF1 dual diaphragm capsule. The frequency and transient response of this new transducer has been voiced to complement today’s modern recording techniques, and yet still evoke the silky smooth character of the legendary microphones of the 50’s and 60’s. These features provide the flexibility and superlative audio characteristics that make the NT2-A one of the most versatile condenser mics available.

The NT2-A’s variable controls allow switching between Omni, Figure 8, and Cardioid polar patterns. The three position high-pass filter provides a flat response or an 80Hz and 40Hz high pass filter to be selected. Finally the microphones Pad can be switched between 0 dB, -5dB and -10dB. The NT2-A comes in a soft pouch with an M2 stand mount.

Features:

The Australian designed and manufactured HF1 1” edge terminated, gold sputtered, dual 5 um diaphragm capsule. 3-position variable polar pattern: Omni, Cardioid & Figure 8; all controlled on the mic. 3-position variable high-pass filter: Flat, 80 Hz or 40 Hz. 3-position variable pad: 0 dB, -5 dB or -10 dB. Ultra low noise, transformerless SMT circuitry. Wide dynamic range. High strength heat-treated steel mesh head. Durable satin nickel finish. Internal capsule shock mounting. Supplied complete with soft pouch and clip. Designed and manufactured in Sydney, Australia.

Operation power:

The NT2-A is designed to operate from phantom power to the P48 standard. The NT2-A will operate between 44V and 52V applied with positive polarity to pin 2 and pin 3 of the output XLR connector.

Operation output impedance:

The NT2-A will operate satisfactorily into a load impedance as low as 1 kΩ. If a load below this is used, the output signal level will be reduced. The NT2-A output is balanced between pin 2 (hot) and pin 3 (cold). Pin 1 is ground.
