The RODE K2 delivers the ultimate in pure rich tube sound and performance. The new HF1 dual diaphragm capsule represents RODE's finest transducer technology. Coupled with their most advanced high output tube circuitry, the K2 brings out every little detail, nuance & whisper, while handling even the loudest source material. The K2 is literally in a class by itself. It includes a shock mount, case, power supply and 30 ft. cable.

 

The Rode K2 studio tube condenser microphone is by far one of our favorites here at RMC. This baby gets the job done and really sings in the process wherever you decide to use it. The ultimate in pure rich tube sound and performance, the K2 delivers super low self noise (10 dBA), high max SPL (162 dBA), and mega wide dynamic range (150 dB).

We have used a Rode K2 recording one of our manufacturer reps on an exquisite acoustic guitar for a few tracks and each one came out so accurately reproduced it was unbelievable, and without a single bit of signal processing! What you record is what you hear coming through the Rode K2, and that's exactly what we look for in a studio condenser microphone. Every low frequency is well-rounded and warm sounding while highs are still crisp but oh so smooth thanks to the hand-selected 6922 twin-triode valve Rode uses in each one.

Pick up a matched pair of the Rode K2 and you've got an absolutely killer set of overhead mics, and you've got plenty of K2 tube goodness to spread around your studio when not recording drums. If you're looking for a versatile large diaphragm condenser that won't break the bank but will still compete with mics that sell for much more money, the Rode K2 variable-pattern tube condenser is the microphone to go with.
