Studio Condenser Microphone

The RODE NT2-A is a large-diaphragm condenser microphone built around a 1" gold-sputtered HF1 capsule. It offers three selectable polar patterns, a high-pass filter and a pad, all controlled directly on the microphone body. The transformerless surface-mount circuitry delivers ultra-low noise and wide dynamic range for professional studio recording. Internal capsule shock mounting further reduces handling vibration.

Versatile Studio Recording

This microphone suits engineers and musicians who need one mic that can handle vocals, acoustic instruments and room ambience with switchable Omni, Cardioid and Figure-8 patterns. The onboard 40 Hz and 80 Hz high-pass filters and 0 dB, -5 dB and -10 dB pad settings adapt to loud sources or proximity effect without external gear. Buyers who require a USB output, a small-diaphragm pencil mic or a battery-powered field recorder should look at a different product type.

1-Inch Gold-Sputtered Capsule

The 25 mm HF1 dual-diaphragm capsule is the single specification that defines this microphone's sound. Its large surface area captures detailed transients and a smooth frequency response suited to both modern and vintage recording styles. If your workflow demands a different capsule size or a fixed polar pattern, this model will not match those requirements.

Questions about this item

Does the NT2-A come with a shock mount, pop filter or cable, or do I need to buy them separately?

The supplied facts list only the microphone itself with its internal capsule shock mounting; no external shock mount, pop filter or XLR cable are mentioned, so plan to purchase those accessories separately.

When should I choose the Cardioid, Omni or Figure-8 pattern on the NT2-A?

Select Cardioid for solo vocals or close-miked instruments, Omni for room ambience or group recordings, and Figure-8 for duet vocals, mid-side stereo or rejecting sound from the sides.

How do the 40 Hz and 80 Hz high-pass filters on the NT2-A affect a recorded vocal track?

Engaging the 40 Hz filter reduces low-frequency rumble such as footfall or HVAC noise, while the 80 Hz filter adds extra proximity-effect control for close-up voice work.
