Rode K2
Variable Pattern Dual 1" Condenser Valve Microphone

K2

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 high-end specifications with the character and subtleties of the legendary 50’s mics.

Infinitely variable control of the K2’s polar patterns provides the freedom and flexibility to excel in any recording situation. The K2 is another example of RØDE’s commitment to building quality studio microphones to meet the exacting standards demanded by today’s professionals.
