Rode K2 Variable Pattern Dual 1" Condenser Valve Microphone

Product Description

The RØDE K2 is a premium valve microphone that delivers exceptional sound quality and versatility. It features a dual 1" condenser capsule with variable polar patterns, allowing you to adjust the microphone's response to suit any recording situation. Whether you need a cardioid, figure-8, omnidirectional, or anything in between, the K2 can handle it with ease. The K2 also has a valve/tube impedance converter with a bipolar output buffer that gives the microphone a warm and smooth character. The K2 is ideal for recording vocals, instruments, and acoustic sources with stunning clarity and detail.

  • Acoustic Principle: Pressure Gradient means that the microphone picks up sound based on the difference in air pressure between the front and back of the diaphragm1.
  • Active Electronics: Valve/tube impedance converter with bipolar output buffer means that the microphone has a circuit that uses a tube or valve to amplify and convert the signal from the diaphragm1.
  • Capsule: 1.00" means that the diameter of the diaphragm is one inch, which is considered a large diaphragm2.
  • Address Type: Side means that the microphone captures sound from its side, rather than its top or bottom2.
  • Frequency Range: 20Hz - 20kHz means that the microphone can capture sounds from 20 hertz to 20 kilohertz, which is a wide range of frequencies3.
  • Output Impedance: 200Ω means that the resistance of the microphone’s output signal is 200 ohms, which is relatively low and suitable for most audio interfaces2.
  • Maximum SPL: 162dB SPL (@ 1kHz, 1% THD into 1KΩ load) means that the maximum sound pressure level that the microphone can handle without distortion is 162 decibels at one kilohertz with one percent total harmonic distortion into a one kiloohm load2.
  • Maximum Output Level: 30.0dBu (@ 1kHz, 1% THD into 1KΩ load) means that the maximum level of output signal that the microphone can produce without distortion is 30 decibels above unity gain at one kilohertz with one percent total harmonic distortion into a one kiloohm load2.
  • Sensitivity: -36.0dB re 1 Volt/Pascal (16.00mV @ 94 dB SPL) +/- 2 dB @ 1kHz means that the voltage output of the microphone per unit of sound pressure input is -36 decibels relative to one volt per pascal (or equivalently, 16 millivolts at 94 decibels sound pressure level) with a plus or minus two decibel margin of error at one kilohertz2.
  • Equivalent Noise Level (A-weighted):10dB-A means that the amount of self-noise generated by the microphone’s electronics is equivalent to ten decibels on an A-weighted scale, which filters out low-frequency noise and mimics human hearing sensitivity2.
  • Weight:815.00gm means that the mass of the microphone is about eight hundred and fifteen grams.
  • Dimensions:208.00mmH x55.00mmW x55.00mmD means thatthe height,width,and depthof themicrophoneare about two hundred and eight millimeters,fifty-five millimeters,and fifty-five millimeters,respectively.
  • Output:XLRmeans thatthe type of connector used by themicrophoneis an XLR plug,which has three pinsand can carry balanced audio signals2.
