RODE NT2-A Multipattern Condenser Microphone Bundle with Auray RF-5P-B Reflection Filter and RFMS-580 Stand

Studio Microphone Bundle

The RODE NT2-A is a large-diaphragm multipattern condenser microphone supplied new with an Auray RF-5P-B metal reflection filter and an RFMS-580 filter mic stand. Its one-inch HF1 gold-sputtered capsule captures vocals and instruments with studio-grade detail. On-body controls let the engineer switch polar pattern, high-pass filter and pad without leaving the session. The bundle suits home and project studios that need a versatile front-end in a single purchase.

Upgrade From USB Mics

Moving from a fixed-pattern USB microphone to this XLR condenser adds three selectable patterns — omni, cardioid and figure-8 — plus a three-position high-pass filter at flat, 40 Hz or 80 Hz and a three-position pad at 0 dB, -5 dB or -10 dB. The jump is worth it when recordings demand off-axis rejection, low-frequency roll-off or headroom for loud sources. The included reflection filter and stand reduce room reflections immediately, removing the need for separate acoustic treatment purchases.

For Flexible Studio Recording

This package serves singers, podcasters and instrumentalists who want pattern selection and hardware filtering on the microphone itself. Buyers who need a wireless lavalier system, a rackmount receiver with Ethernet networking or a 50 MHz UHF tuning range with 2000 selectable frequencies should look elsewhere. The bundle also does not suit users who require a self-contained USB device or a microphone without external phantom power.
