The RØDE K2 is the result of designing and building 1000's of valve microphones. The K2's HF-1 capsule is the pinnacle of transducer technology. The sound quality combines modern wide dynamic range, ultra low noise, and class ‘A’ valve circuitry with the character and subtleties of the legendary 50's mics. Its large 1" capsule with gold sputtered diaphragm and internal shock mounting is maintained to prevent shakes and unwanted noise. The K2 has hand-selected and graded 6922 twin-triode valve and a dedicated Power Supply that controls continuously variable polar patterns from omni, cardiod, to figure 8.

Product Features in Detail

Dual 1” gold sputtered diaphragm
