The Rode K2 Condenser Valve Microphone is a high-end valve microphone that takes inspiration from classic mics and vintage tonality. It features a dual condenser capsule that captures every detail with precision and warmth, making it perfect for vocals and instruments. The K2 utilizes high-quality components, including a high-end twin-triode valve and Class-A circuitry, to deliver exceptional warmth and clarity. It has ultra-low noise performance, ensuring optimal audio fidelity. The microphone’s selectable polar patterns allow you to optimize its acoustic performance for any sound source. The K2 comes with a shock mount, cable, and power supply, providing the freedom and flexibility to excel in any recording situation.
The K2 owes its superior audio quality to a hand-selected twin-triode valve, which provides warm lows, smooth tops, and plenty of charisma. Its wide frequency range and classic-style design give it a unique tonal character and exceptional level of detail. With ultra-low self-noise performance, the K2 can handle a wide range of sound sources, from low-level vocals to high-gain guitars. The package includes the K2 microphone, SM6 shock mount, RM6 ring mount mic stand, power supply, cable, and a zip pouch.
The K2 features a large 1″ capsule with a highly sensitive gold sputtered diaphragm. It comes with an internal shock mount to isolate sound and has ultra-low self-noise, ensuring the clearest sound possible. The microphone’s Class-A valve circuitry allows it to capture loud performances without distorting, even at maximum sound pressure levels of 162dB. The hand-selected 6922 twin-triode valve contributes to warm lows and smooth tops. The K2 offers three selectable polar patterns – omnidirectional, figure 8, and cardioid – allowing you to tailor the microphone to any application. It has a reinforced steel mesh head, making it highly robust. The microphone is equipped with a dedicated power supply.
