RODE K2 - Precision Tube Condenser MicrophoneRODE K2 is an exceptional tube condenser microphone with a dual 1-inch diaphragm, designed for the most demanding sound engineers. The result of designing and building thousands of tube microphones, the K2 offers unparalleled sound quality, combining advanced hi-end technology with the character and subtlety of legendary microphones from the 1950s.

Unmatched VersatilityInnovative HF-1 CapsuleThe HF-1 capsule in the K2 microphone is the pinnacle of technological achievement in transducer design. It combines hi-end class parameters with the subtlety of sound reminiscent of legendary microphones.

Directional Pattern ControlThe K2 microphone offers smoothly variable directional patterns – from omnidirectional through cardioid to figure-eight – controlled from the dedicated power supply, making it ideal for any recording studio situation.

Awards and DistinctionsAt the Musikmesse 2004 in Frankfurt, 56 of the most prestigious music magazines recognized the K2 as the Best Studio Microphone of the Year 2004.
