Rode NT2-A Complete Vocal Recording Solution

The NT2-A carries on the tradition forged by the now legendary RØDE NT2. A professional large capsule (1") studio microphone incorporating three-position pick-up patterns, PAD and high pass filter switches conveniently located on the mic body.

At the heart of the NT2-A is the Australian designed and manufactured HF1 dual diaphragm capsule. The frequency and transient response of this transducer has been voiced to complement today's modern recording techniques, and yet still evoke the silky smooth character of the legendary microphones of the 50's and 60's. These features provide the flexibility and superlative audio characteristics that make the NT2-A one of the most versatile condenser mics available.

NT2-A microphone reviews:

“Whether you're looking for your first pro-studio mic, or are searching for the best model to fill out a microphone locker, the NT2-A bears strong consideration as it excels in almost any application. A winner? Oh, yes.” 

- EQ Magazine

“The NT2-A is an all-round winner that's versatile enough to take on the innumerable miking tasks that the world presents” 

- Audio Technology

“Unlike many mics in its class, this unit is obviously NOT made in China! Its construction is superior, the mic is dead quiet, and the sound reproduction is super accurate. I don't think any company can beat RØDE for quality and performance versus price” 

- Kris DeLaney (Customer Review)

“It offers remarkable performance and capacitor-microphone sonic virtues at a very affordable price, and as such it redefines the term 'value for money'.” 

- Sound on Sound Magazine

“I just purchased an NT2-A and I wanted to comment that I can hardly believe the microphone that I got for the money. Up until now I was recording with rented tlm103's and decided to get a LDC of my own. After a couple of session I am convinced that got a mic of equal calibre for a fraction of the cost PLUS the versatility of multiple pickup patterns. Thanks for making world class recording condenser microphones accessible to the average musician”

“Having owned AKG-414s, Neuman U87 and TLM103s, I have to tell it like it IS. That is that this mic is not only quieter (less self noise) than ANY other mic I've ever used, but on MY male voice is as rich and detailed with NOTHING to complain about. Is flat out perhaps the finest single microphone on the market. It can do so many things so very well. From acoustic piano, acoustic guitar, male and female vocals, mandolin, flute and the list goes on. There is simply NO way to be dissatisfied with this mic. Nearly any half way competent mic pre will make it shine. Put it on a sweet mic pre (Avalon, Focusrite etc.) and you can't help but be flat blown away. For its price there is NO excuse not to own at least ONE...”
