K2 - The New Sound In Tube Microphones!
RODE's K2 represents an excellent value in a tube microphone, combining incredibly low noise, low distortion and high SPL with the type of fantastic lush sound you'd expect from a high-end tube microphone.

Amazingly Quiet & Versatile!
The ultimate in pure rich tube sound and performance, the Rode K2 also delivers super low self noise (10 dBA), high max SPL (162 dBA), and mega wide dynamic range (150 dB). Rode's K2 features totally variable polar pattern control for an unbeatable combination of flexibility and power. The Rode K2's legendary sound quality inspires those magic takes in even the most demanding recording applications.

Legendary Sound!
RODE carefully constructed the K2 to deliver the sound and character of the prized transducers of the 50 and 60s. They've succeeded, thanks to the K2's HF1 capsule, a true 1" condenser built along the exact lines of the older transducers, but with the reliability of modern technology! Rode hand selects the tubes for the K2 for specification and sound quality. From opera to punk rock and everything in between, the Rode K2 is literally in a class by itself!


Rode K2 Features:
  • Includes dedicated low noise mic cable, RODE case, shock mount.
  • Variable polar pattern control on dedicated power supply
  • 162 dBA Max SPL
  • 10 dBA Self Noise
  • 150 dB Dynamic Range
  • Tube microphone

 THE BEST IF YOU HAVE THE BEST SURROUNDINGS  
by MIGUEL GATTI from ATLANTA, GA USA, April 23, 2008
Music Background:  PRO MUSICIAN, HOBBYIST, STUDENT AND VOCALIST


“THIS MIC IS INCREDIBLE, INCREDIBLE IF YOU HAVE A SOUND PROOF VOCAL BOOTH THAT IS. I HAD IT POWERED THROUGH A UNIVERSAL AUDIO 610 AND WAS RECORDING IN MY OPEN ROOM SET UP WITH YOU KNOW ACOUSTIC TREATMENT AND IT STILL PICKED UP EVERY SINGLE ODD NOISE YOU COULD IMAGINE. THINGS I HAD TO SIT AND WONDER WHAT WAS, WAS PICKED UP LIKE BACTERIA UNDER A MICROSCOPE. I WAS SO MAD BECAUSE I HAD TO TURN OFF...” Read More

Sweetwater Expert Advice
 
  "The Rode K2 works wonders for my credibility. I'll send one to a customer, then immediately I'm the genius that could get them a pro-level microphone for less than $1000. But I always have to admit that I cheated. I have Rode! If every recommendation was as easy as the Rode K2, I wouldn't have to get out of bed in the morning!"
Sean Wooldridge

  "The new Rode K2 Tube microphone is nothing short of amazing. It could very well be the very best mix of quality and value in the highly competitive mic market today. Over $1,000,000 of research and development by Rode has delivered everything they could have hoped for and much, much more."
Joel Gragg

  "I have owned and used just about every Rode microphone for one reason - they work in critical environments and make engineering easier! A pair of K2s were my main overhead microphones in a busy studio that I managed where time was critical. The K2s always allowed my drum sound a warmth and clarity despite the not-so-perfect room. They are so versatile and can wear the many hats that are needed in any studio environment, whether it be a home studio or a commercial facility where bang for buck is important. You will always be happy that you invested in a Rode microphone because it will work for you."
Stuart Niven
