Multi-Pattern Large-Diaphragm Studio Condenser Microphone — One Mic, Three Polar Patterns, Vintage Tone

Engineered for vocalists, producers, and project studios that want one microphone to cover nearly any source, this multi-pattern large-diaphragm condenser combines switchable cardioid, omnidirectional, and figure-8 polar patterns with onboard pad and high-pass filter controls. The NT2-A is the right choice for engineers who need a versatile large-diaphragm solution at a serious price point.

Australian-Designed HF1 Capsule and Transformerless JFET Circuitry

At the heart of the design sits the Australian-designed HF1 dual-diaphragm capsule — a 1-inch gold-sputtered edge-terminated transducer voiced to evoke the silky smooth character of legendary 1950s and 1960s microphones. A transformerless JFET impedance converter keeps self-noise at just 7 dBA, and internal capsule shock mounting isolates the diaphragm from handling noise.

Polar Pattern and Capsule — Capture Any Source With One Microphone

Three selectable polar patterns make this microphone a workhorse for vocals, instruments, and room capture. Cardioid isolates a single source, figure-8 enables dual-source recording, and omnidirectional captures room ambience.

• Polar Patterns: Cardioid, Omnidirectional, Figure-8 — switchable directly on the mic body
• Capsule: 1" / 25.4 mm gold-sputtered HF1 dual-diaphragm — externally biased true condenser with vintage voicing
• Side address orientation — classic studio mic placement for vocals and instruments

Audio Performance — Clean Signal Across the Full Frequency Range

A full 20 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response with a wide dynamic range captures deep bass and airy top end without coloration. A 7 dBA equivalent noise level places this microphone among the quietest in its class — equally suited to whispered voice-over and loud sources like drums.

• Frequency Range: 20 Hz – 20 kHz — full-spectrum response for vocals and instruments
• Self-Noise: 7 dBA (A-weighted) — ultra-quiet floor for delicate sources
• Maximum SPL handling of 147 dB (157 dB with -10 dB pad) — captures loud drums and guitar cabinets without distortion

Onboard Controls and Connectivity — Hands-On Tonal Shaping

Three 3-position switches on the microphone body put pad, high-pass filter, and polar pattern selection at the engineer's fingertips. A 0 dB / -5 dB / -10 dB pad prevents preamp overload, while the flat / 40 Hz / 80 Hz high-pass filter tames proximity effect. Standard 24 V or 48 V phantom power and a 3-pin XLR output integrate with any preamp.

• Pad: 0 dB / -5 dB / -10 dB — prevents preamp overload on loud sources
• High-Pass Filter: Flat / 40 Hz / 80 Hz — tames proximity effect and low-frequency rumble
• XLR 3-pin output at 200 Ω impedance — runs on 24 V or 48 V phantom power from any professional preamp

Who the NT2-A Is For — Vocalists, Voice-Over Artists, and Project Studios

The NT2-A is the right choice for home and project studio owners who want one microphone to handle vocals, acoustic guitar, piano, drum overheads, and voice-over. Podcasters benefit from the figure-8 pattern for two-person interviews and the smooth character on spoken word. Engineers tracking loud sources will appreciate the 147 dB SPL ceiling. The included SM6 shockmount with pop filter, XLR cable, and dust cover means the microphone is ready to record out of the box.
