KEY FEATURES:

Large-Diaphragm Condenser Microphone: The NT2-A features a 1-inch, gold-sputtered diaphragm, which delivers a full, rich sound with excellent clarity and detail. Its large diaphragm allows for greater sensitivity and a broader frequency response, making it ideal for capturing vocals, acoustic instruments, and more.
Three Polar Patterns: The NT2-A offers three selectable polar patterns: Cardioid, Omnidirectional, and Figure-8. These allow the user to adapt the microphone to different recording environments and applications, from isolating a single sound source (cardioid) to capturing the entire room (omnidirectional) or recording two sources (figure-8).
Low Noise: With an extremely low self-noise level of just 7dBA, the NT2-A is one of the quietest microphones available, making it perfect for recording sensitive audio without unwanted background noise.
High SPL Handling: The NT2-A can handle high sound pressure levels (up to 147dB), which means it can capture loud sound sources without distortion, making it suitable for drums, electric guitars, and other high-volume instruments.
Pad and High-Pass Filter Switches: The microphone includes a switchable pad (-5dB or -10dB) and high-pass filter (40Hz or 80Hz), allowing for further control when recording different sound sources.

INCLUDED IN THE STUDIO PACK:

  • Shock Mount (SM6): The pack includes a shock mount to reduce handling noise and vibrations, ensuring cleaner audio recordings.
  • Pop Filter: An integrated pop filter is also included to reduce plosive sounds when recording vocals, particularly for sounds like “p” and “b.”
  • XLR Cable: A high-quality XLR cable is provided, allowing for immediate connectivity to your audio interface or mixing console.
  • Dust Cover: A protective dust cover helps maintain the microphone’s condition when not in use.

Detailed and Transparent: The NT2-A provides a clear, natural sound with a wide frequency response (20Hz – 20kHz). Its neutral tone makes it a versatile tool for capturing everything from vocals to acoustic instruments with accurate detail.
Rich Low-End and Smooth Highs: The microphone delivers a well-balanced sound with a strong low-end presence and smooth, natural highs, making it suitable for a variety of recording applications, including voice-overs, singing, and instrument tracking.
