RODE NT2-A 1″ Multi-Pattern Large-Diaphragm Studio Condenser Microphone

The RODE NT2-A is a highly versatile large-diaphragm studio condenser microphone designed to deliver pristine audio quality with exceptional flexibility. Its gold-sputtered 1″ diaphragm and transformerless JFET circuitry provide ultra-low self-noise (7 dBA) and a broad frequency response (20 Hz–20 kHz), capturing every nuance of vocals and instruments with silky smooth character. Three selectable polar patterns—cardioid, omnidirectional, and figure-8—along with a three-position pad (0 dB, –5 dB, –10 dB) and switchable high-pass filter (flat, 40 Hz, 80 Hz) let you tailor the mic’s response to any recording scenario. Each NT2-A ships complete with SM6 shockmount, detachable pop filter, 6 m XLR cable, and dust cover for a turnkey studio solution.2
