Product Highlights

The NT2-A is a highly versatile large-diaphragm studio condenser microphone designed to offer pristine audio quality and flexibility in equal measure. Featuring a three-position pad (0dB, -5dB, -10dB), high-pass filter (flat, 40Hz, 80Hz), and polar pattern control (cardioid, omnidirectional, figure-8), it can easily adapt to any recording situation in the studio.

The NT2-A features a dual 1-inch gold-sputtered cardioid condenser capsule with internal shock mounting and offers ultra-low self-noise and a full frequency response, evoking the silky smooth character of the legendary microphones of the '50s and '60s.

Product Features

  • Australian-Built HF1 Dual 1-Inch Capsule: Outfitted with a premium, edge-terminated HF1 dual-diaphragm gold-sputtered capsule. This precision internal transducer captures smooth high-frequency detail and rich low-end depth while maintaining absolute acoustic transparency across all input sources.
  • Three-Position Variable Polar Patterns: Features a front-panel switch to toggle between Cardioid, Omnidirectional, and Figure-8 polar patterns. This configuration lets you easily adjust the pickup response to capture a solo voice, reject off-axis room reflections, or record two sound sources simultaneously.
  • Flexible Pad and High-Pass Filter Matrix: Equipped with a 3-stage attenuation pad (0 dB, -5 dB, -10 dB) to handle high-SPL sound sources without clipping, paired with a 3-stage high-pass filter (Flat, 40 Hz, 80 Hz) to instantly scoop out low-end air conditioning rumble or proximity thuds.
  • Ultra-Low Self-Noise Electronics: Driven by audiophile-grade, surface-mount internal circuitry that limits self-noise to a remarkably low 7 dBA. This near-silent operation makes it an exceptional choice for recording delicate acoustic instruments, intimate spoken-word voiceovers, and wide-dynamic classical tracks.
  • Internal Capsule Shock Isolation: The large-diaphragm capsule assembly is suspended internally within a specialized rubber shock-mount ring. This structural barrier dampens low-frequency handling vibrations, floor bumps, and stand resonance before they reach the sensitive recording core.
