Rode NT2A Variable Patterm Studio Condenser *NEW*

The new NT2-A is a professional large capsule (1 in.) condenser studio microphone with variable pick-up pattern,variable high pass filter and variable pad. These features provide greater creative control and versatility.

Three 3-position switches located on the mic body provide the freedom to step from Figure 8, Cardioid or Omni polar pick-up patterns; from a flat response to either 80 Hz or 40 Hz high-pass filter and a Pad adjustment of 0 dB, -5 dB or -10 dB attenuation.

The heart of the NT2-A is the Australian designed and manufactured TYPE 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.The NT2-A includes a soft pouch and clip.

Technical Info

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.

Output Impedance

The NT2-A will operate satisfactorily into a load impedance as low as 1K. 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.
