The NT2000 is an extremely versatile large-diaphragm condenser microphone, engineered to be the ultimate workhorse in the studio. It features a continuously variable polar pattern control, offering seamless transitions from omnidirectional to cardioid to figure-8, along with a continuously variable pad (0 to -10dB) and high-pass filter (20Hz to 150Hz). This adaptability allows the NT2000 to meet the demands of a wide range of recording scenarios, giving full control over the microphone's sound. The audiophile-grade surface-mount electronics paired with a gold-sputtered dual 1-inch capsule deliver exceptional performance, with an impressively low self-noise of just 7dBA and a maximum SPL of 147dB (up to 157dB with the pad engaged), ensuring stunning results on any sound source.
