{"product_id":"rode-k2-24311","title":"K2","description":"\u003ch3\u003eA RODE Tube Microphone Designed to Recapture the Spirit of the Great Classics\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe RODE K2 follows the tradition of tube microphones that marked the golden age of the studio, with a more flexible and contemporary approach. Its 1-inch dual diaphragm capsule treated with gold cathode sputtering aims for a rich and detailed sound while offering a modern usage range. The idea is simple: to regain the depth and presence typical of legendary microphones without sacrificing the versatility required for today's productions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho and What the K2 Is Made For\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe K2 is an excellent choice for demanding home studios as well as professional studios seeking a main microphone capable of covering many situations. On vocals, it provides a sense of density and proximity, useful for pushing a voice forward in the mix. On instruments, it performs well on acoustic guitar, strings, brass, piano, percussion, and even on high-level sources thanks to its high maximum SPL.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt also excels in capturing room ambiance: in omnidirectional or figure-8 mode, you can capture the air and depth of a space with a larger image, giving a natural dimension to recordings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eVariable Polar Pattern: The Key to Its Studio Flexibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eFrom Placement to Character, Fine Control of the Capture\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe continuously variable polar pattern is one of the K2's major assets. In cardioid, you focus the capture on the source while limiting the room, ideal for close-miking vocals or instruments. In omnidirectional, you get a more open response and a broader capture, useful for a less \"close\" vocal or to highlight room acoustics. In figure-8, you benefit from excellent side rejection, useful for isolating sources or working with depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAdvanced Yet Accessible Recording Techniques\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe figure-8 pattern allows for stereo and creative recording techniques: for example, capturing more textured ambiance or pairing with a second microphone for Mid-Side configurations when your workflow requires it. The fact that the polar pattern is continuously adjustable helps find the \"exact point\" between presence, width, and ambiance depending on the source, singer, and room.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTubed Sound and Wide Headroom Before Saturation\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe K2 combines tube aesthetics with performance suited to modern productions. Its ability to handle very high levels allows recording powerful sources while maintaining a clean signal, with a sense of dynamics and depth. It is a microphone that can serve as a centerpiece for vocals but also as a \"character\" microphone to add thickness to certain instruments while preserving defined highs and good clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:2rem\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"flex:1 1 300px;width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency response\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e20 Hz - 22 kHz\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCategory\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003estudio microphone\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDirectivity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eomnidirectional, cardioid, bidirectional\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"flex:1 1 300px;width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConnection\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eXLR\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:2rem\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1 1 300px\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSensitivity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e-36 dB ref. 1V\/Pa (16 mV at 94 dB SPL) +\/-2 dB\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum sound pressure level\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e162 dB SPL\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1 1 300px\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003ediameter 55 mm, length 208 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e815 g\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Rode","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54361448841491,"sku":"24311","price":611.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/508657c9c2683795da51d6b40321b624d34e364e_RODE_K2_MICRO_STUDIO_STATIQUE_LAMPE_TUBE.jpg?v=1788188147","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/rode-k2-24311","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
