Silky Smooth - Totally Variable!

Rode's NT2000 boasts fully variable control — a totally variable polar pattern, a totally variable high-pass filter, and a totally variable pad, all located on the mic’s body! In this way, Rode has given you the ability to totally customize your sound from take to take, singer to singer, session to session with just one NT2000! If you've been looking for the one microphone from which to build your collection, you've found it in the NT2000!

Rode NT2000 at a glance:
  • HF1 dual diaphragm capsule for legendary sound that works every time
  • Transparent electronics
  • Totally variable polar pattern, filter & pad


The Sound of Legends!
The heart of the NT2000 is Rode's 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 legendary mics of the 50s and 60s.

Transparent Electronics
A superb trandsducer must be complimented by the best electronics. To ensure transparency and the highest fidelity, Rode's engineers set about designing a circuit that coupled the HF1 capsule in such a way to add nothing. Or, to pass the output of the capsule without coloration or distortion.

Totally Variable Controls for a Totally Variable World!
The NT2000 is the first superlative class 48 V FET microphone to have a totally variable polar pattern, totally variable pad and totally variable filter - all incorporated within the body of the microphone! This means that the NT2000 just might be the only microphone you need for a while. Its crystal clear response coupled with the control you need to get the most out of it for any type recording makes the NT2000 priceless.

Rode NT2000 Features:
  • Fully Variable Control Microphone
  • Totally Variable Polar Pattern
  • LF Filter & Pad Controls
  • 147 dBA Max SPL (157 w/Pad @ max)
  • 7 dBA Self Noise

Very beautiful sound!

Ok, ok when I frist got this mic i was not too crazy about it. This mic sounds ok on any accoustic instrument I put it on in the studio. But when it's time for vocals this NT2000 is a beast! It's out ... read more [+]of the ordinary straight forword plain dry sound you get out of most mics like the TLM 103 before you master the track. The NT2000 has this agresive full body sound to it like it's a tube mic but no tube! LOL Just pure clean solid state warmth! I've been recording with mic for about over 2 years now, and I can safely say that this mic does have a very versitile sound and many many charictoristic textures you can't out of this mic depending on what pre-amp you plug this into. You can get smooth silky, warm and fuzzy, warm & clean, fully balanced body and sizzling highs... This mic is basicaly ear candy big time! I don't understand why this mic did not receive a Grammy award yet it has the exact same frequency reponce as the Rode NT-2A, this was a more improved version of the NT-2A that happen to win a Grammy award! Oh and when you record up to 24-bit 192kz audio from this mic you won't believe the amount of high quality and detailed sound you get like as if it was some $6,000 AKG or NEUMANN mic! This mic is truly a blessing, in other words the NT2000 was a great buy! close [-]

Great Mic, But...

by Steve from Ct
March 16, 2007
Music Background: Home Studio
Given that I've only had the opportunity to record two female vocalists (along with my lousy baritone voice in all it's glory)it might be a little premature to give a verdict on this mic. I will agree... read more [+] that this is a very revealing sounding mic which means that without a good tube pre amp, some compression and reverb, you're not going to get "warm & fuzzy". However I've managed to coax some very nice and natural sounds from it going through my old Tascam board, MOTU 828 MKII into my computer. I was looking for a mic that would allow a vocal to "sit" in a mix with the least amount of EQ possible. So far, so good. Two caveats; this mic has a ground problem. Every time I set the adjustable pattern settings (although it's typically "set & forget" so it's not chronic) I get a hum. Also, because of its weight, you'll need a substantial mic stand. My overall impression is that this is a very god mic for the money. close [-]
