Large-Diaphragm True Condenser
This true condenser (externally biased) features a 1" gold-sputtered, dual-diaphragm capsule that provides a broad frequency response, wide dynamic range, and excellent signal-to-noise ratio.
Variable Polar Pattern
The NT2000's polar pattern is continuously variable from omnidirectional to cardioid to figure 8. As a result, the NT2000 offers excellent versatility for single-source close miking, dual-source pickup, room ambiance capture, and more.
Variable Pad
The pad, which reduces the input level to the microphone's in-built preamp, can be continuously adjusted from 0 to -10 dB. This is very useful when recording loud sound sources (such as close miking of drums or amplifiers) to avoid overloading the microphone's preamplifier.
Variable High-Pass Filter
Choose any setting between 20 and 150 Hz to cut the level of the selected frequency and below by 3 dB. This control is useful for selecting the cut-off point for potentially offending low frequencies such as traffic noise and floor vibrations. It can also be used on vocals to achieve a limited response for a "different" sound.
Transformerless Output
The transformerless JFET output electronics result in an ultralow-noise output (just 7 dBA) while maintaining maximum signal gain.
48V Phantom Power
The NT2000 operates reliably on 24 or 48-VDC phantom power, which can be supplied via most XLR-connected mic preamps, mixer channels, or audio interfaces.
Shockmount and Case
The NT2000's accessory package includes a studio-grade shock mount that reduces stand-borne vibration and a hard shell carry case.
