Rode NT2-A Microphone, Mic

RØDE NT2-A

The new NT2-A is a professional large capsule (1”) condenser studio microphonewith 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 legendar y microphones of the 50 ’s and 60 ’s.The NT2-A includes a soft pouch and clip.

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.
Output Impedance
The NT2-A will operate satisfactorily into a load impedance as low as 1 kO.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.
