Like its big brother the K2, the RØDE NTK is a valve condenser microphone designed to deliver exceptional detail and warmth in the studio. Its cardioid polar pattern is excellent for most single-instrument recordings.
The circuitry driving the highly sensitive transducer includes a hand-selected twin-triode valve and audiophile-grade components. The result is an extremely wide dynamic range, low self-noise and valve warmth. The NTK's rich valve sound is excellent for vocals, acoustic instruments, drums, guitar amps and pianos.
