RODE K2 tube studio microphone with variable polar pattern

RØDE designed the first real flagship of its tube studio microphone range, the K2 precision, multi-characteristic, large-diaphragm, tube condenser studio microphone, based on many years of engineering experimentation and the experience of thousands of manufactured tube microphones.

The RØDE K2 double HF-1 capsule is the pinnacle of electroacoustic transducers. Through modern technologies, it combines today's quality expectations with the characteristic tube sound of the legendary microphones produced in the 50s. Thanks to its freely adjustable characteristics, it can be used perfectly in all recording situations, be it vocal or instrument miking, close-up or "space microphone" application, in a professional or home studio environment. Another example from the manufacturer of how to create a microphone tailored to today's needs based on quality expectations and old standards.

At the Musik Messe in Frankfurt in 2004, the K2 was chosen as the best studio microphone of the year based on the decision of 56 audio technical magazines.
