RODE K2 Variable Pattern Dual Condenser Valve Microphone

US-DA244FDA

The RODE K2 is a premium valve condenser microphone featuring dual 1” gold sputtered diaphragms. Infinitely variable control of the polar pattern from omnidirectional through cardioid and bidirectional/figure-8 provides the freedom and flexibility to excel in any recording situation.

High-performance specifications (including a maximum SPL of 162dB) are combined with the character and subtleties of the legendary mics of the 1950s to provide a microphone that not only provides world-class vocals but is perfectly at home recording a wide range of instruments both up-close or in a wider ‘room’ capacity.

The RODE K2 microphone is designed and made in Australia, and covered by RODE Microphones' industry leading 10 year warranty.
