The RODE K2 is a high-quality tube condenser microphone, and the variable-pattern bigger brother to the best-selling NTK. RODE's own dual-sided capsule allows for continuous adjustment of the polar pattern from omni to cardioid to figure-of-eight and all patterns in between, letting you dial in the amount of room ambience or isolation you desire while also changing up the tonality of the mic. Audiophile tube electronics provide an extended frequency response, drop-dead-quiet noise floor, huge dynamic range and SPL capabilities making the K2 an all-around condenser microphone for any application.
