General

Rode's K2 is a large-diaphragm tube microphone with some very unique properties, one of which is the fully adjustable, switchable pickup pattern that is unique in the world of professional microphones. The K2 is highly versatile and provides a warm, full sound. Thanks to the tubes, the sound of this microphone is a lot warmer than that of most condenser microphones.

At the heart of the K2 is a separate unit that allows you to adjust all pickup pattern settings and provides the microphone with 48 volts of phantom power. Furthermore, the K2 comes in a neat case and is delivered including a shockmount.

Wrote the following about RØDE K2 Tube Condenser Studio Microphone

Paar testopnames gedaan maar ik was niet echt onder de indruk. Kan ook persoonlijke smaak zijn uiteraard.

Ik ben aantal jaren geleden begonnen met produceren van muziek, ik doe ook graag covers.
Voor de Rode K2 had ik een Devine BM600 die zijn prijs catogorie best goed presteert maar
eigenlijk ontbreekt daar wat de Rode K2 wel biedt, dit ga je pas horen als je een tijdje bezig
ben met mixen.

Ik ben erg verrast met het totaal pakket dat Rode aanbied, de K2, koffer ,voeding en kabel.
als je het liedje wil horen dat ik gemaakt heb met deze bijzondere microfoon dan kun je deze
hier luisteren.
