help Rode K2 FAQ
What type of microphone is the RØDE K2?
The K2 is a large-diaphragm valve condenser microphone with a 1-inch gold-sputtered capsule. It uses a hand-selected twin-triode 6922 valve for its studio sound. [RØDE K2 specifications](https://rode.com/en-us/products/k2)
Which polar patterns can the RØDE K2 record?
Its polar pattern is continuously variable from omnidirectional through cardioid to figure-8. That lets one microphone handle close vocals, room capture, and some front-and-back recording setups. [RØDE K2 polar patterns](https://rode.com/en-us/products/k2)
Does the RØDE K2 need a separate valve power supply?
The K2 is supplied with its own power supply, RM2 stand ring, and SM6 shock mount. It is therefore a complete valve microphone system rather than a USB microphone that plugs directly into a computer. [RØDE K2 contents](https://rode.com/en-us/products/k2)
What frequency range and maximum sound level does the K2 support?
RØDE lists a 20 Hz to 20 kHz frequency range, 200 ohms output impedance, and 162 dB SPL maximum sound pressure level. The company also lists a 10-year warranty for the microphone. [RØDE K2 specifications](https://rode.com/en-us/products/k2)
