RØDE NT2-A Microphone - Cardioid, Figure 8, Omni - 10 Year Warranty arrives as a versatile large-diaphragm microphone designed for studio and stage use, combining a classic silver finish with modern engineering.

The RØDE NT2-A offers selectable polar patterns (cardioid, figure-8 and omni) that let you tailor its pickup to vocals, room ambience or instrument ensembles, making it an adaptable choice for recording and live performance. Its frequency range of 20–20,000 Hz captures deep lows and crisp highs with clarity.

Engineered as a stage/performance microphone with wired connectivity and a durable mini XLR (3-pin) interface, the NT2-A connects reliably to professional preamps and mixing consoles. The microphone’s output impedance is 200 Ω and its sensitivity is rated at -36 dB, providing a strong, noise-resistant signal suitable for a range of sources.

Measuring 209 mm in height with a 55 mm diameter and weighing 860 g, the NT2-A feels solid and balanced on a stand or shock mount. A 3 m cable is included for convenient placement on stage or in the studio, and the unit ships in a compact package weighing about 1 kg.

RØDE’s inclusion of a 10 year warranty underscores the brand’s confidence in the microphone’s build quality and long-term reliability, giving professionals and hobbyists additional peace of mind for critical recordings and performances.

Typical use cases include studio vocal tracking, capturing acoustic instruments, room ambiance recording, and live stage vocals where pattern selection and robust wired connectivity are essential. The NT2-A’s silky top end and controlled low-frequency response suit podcasting, voiceover and broadcast work as well.

Key selling points are the multi-pattern versatility (cardioid, figure-8, omni), the wide 20–20,000 Hz frequency response, rugged silver design, mini XLR wired interface, and the reassuring 10 year warranty that supports long-term professional use.
