NT2 OMNI/CARDIOID SWITCHABLE LARGE DIAPHRAM COND

The Rode NT2 was a large-diaphragm FET condenser that could be switched from Cardioid to Omni pickup patterns. It was a multipattern version of the NT1; the two microphones shared a circuit design. Both were designed by Jim Williams of Audio Upgrades.

According to Jim Williams, both circuits used high-quality components, including Hitachi transistors, a JFET from Siliconix, Röderstein metal-film resistors and Wima polypropylene film caps. Every component on the circuit board was handpicked; as Williams describes them, the NT1 and NT2 were “pre-modded.”

The specs for the mic changed over its lifetime; for example, the self-noise ranged from “<14dBA” to 17dBA. Max SPL ranged from 130 dB to 135 dB (or 145 with the pad). Whether these changes were due to circuitry improvements or test methodology changes is unknown.
