“Hello my name is Carl Allen Siegel. I produce music for Television shows. Some of my most recent projects include Kanye West’s Homecoming Special which aired on MTV & Burn Notice which is on the USA Network. A while back an associate of mine, (who is a very well established music producer) lent me a RODE K2 since I was doing a project which required a strong performance. I myself have been using the K2 for about 6 months now & have completely fallen in love with it. I love the clarity it brings to the vocals as well as the depth it posses & can make any person with headphones on hear all of their flaws which proves it possess 100 percent clarity. I have found that any type of vocals I record with the K2 have always come out clear even when doing vocal parts such as whispers or soft spoken parts. You can always rely on this model to shine through no matter if you’re recording vocals for Hip Hop, Pop music or R&B music, we even used it for one or two rock projects & still the K2 passed the test for outstanding quality & tone no matter what kind of voice is being recorded. Bottom line is the K2 is my only choice no matter who or what style music I’m recording. “

“I did an exhaustive comparison and listened to AKG, Neumann and other commercially available studio microphones. The comparison was fascinating to say the least. In terms of outstanding performance and excellent value for money the K2 from RODE was the standout for me and that’s what I bought. If there was a better bang for my buck, I couldn’t find it. Being Australian made and coming with a 10 year warranty were also major influencers.”
Brendan Horgan (Customer Review)
“The build quality is excellent. These are some of the finest tube mics being made.”
