The NT2000 is an extremely versatile large-diaphragm condenser microphone designed to be the ultimate workhorse in the studio. Featuring a continuously variable polar pattern control that seamlessly sweeps from omnidirectional to cardioid to figure-8, continuously variable pad (0 to -10dB), and continuously variable high-pass filter (20Hz to 150Hz), it can easily adapt to a wide variety of recording scenarios, giving you full control over the sound of the microphone. Audiophile-quality surface-mount electronics combined with a gold-sputtered dual 1-inch capsule provide extremely low self-noise (7dBA) and a maximum SPL of 147dB (up to 157dB with the pad fully engaged), ensuring exceptional results on any sound source.
