I am selling my Rode NT2-A. Hardly ever used.

The NT2-A microphone is the heir to the legendary RØDE NT2 microphone. It is equipped with a professional 1-inch capsule with switchable polar patterns, a PAD attenuator and a high-pass filter switch located directly on the microphone housing.

The heart of the NT2-A is the original Australian HF-1 double capsule. Both in terms of bandwidth and response to transients, it has been adapted to the requirements of microphones used in modern recording techniques, while providing a gentle sound typical of microphones from the 1950s and 1960s. This makes the NT2-A one of the most universal microphones available on the market.

Switches located on the microphone housing allow you to select one of three polar patterns: omnidirectional, figure-eight or cardioid. A 3-position filter switch allows you to select a flat frequency response or activate a high-pass filter with a cutoff frequency of 40 or 80 Hz. The internal PAD can be set to 0 dB, -5 dB or -10 dB. The NT2-A comes with an M2 mount for tripod mounting and a soft case.
