Rode NTK Valve Studio Condenser Microphone - Nearly New

Full Description

The heart of the NTK is the Australian designed and manufactured HF-2 capsule. The electronic circuitry complementing this very sensitive transducer includes a hand-selected twin-triode 6922 valve and audiophile grade components and lay-out. The result is an ultra-wide dynamic range, very low noise, and stunning tube warmth. The NTK's rich valve sound is ideal for vocals, acoustic instruments, drum overheads, guitar amps and pianos.

Reviews

"The NTK will put you on equal footing, or better, with many new and vintage microphones that cost several times as much... I love the NTK... it will still sound great 40 years from now." Electronic Musician

"The proof is in the listening, for sure. They sound fantastic. Startlingly fantastic, perhaps as good as any mic in the world. Certainly as good as any mic I have ever used, and yes that includes the obvious." ProRec
