Bests a Neumann

I bought this mic after hearing the reviews and comparisons to Neumann mics (often the U87) and yes, it lives up to the hype. In fact, it surpasses it. Its got a warm, transparent character that I choose on vocals over mics that cost 6 times the price. And if you really want to get the full effect of this amazing mic, replace the tube with a vintage European one. Its warmth is amazing. Best 600 dollars I've spent, I'd sell off my U87 before I'd sell off my K2.

Sounds like a Neumann?

All I can say is wow. This mic sounds slightly better than a Neumann Tube. This test was done in school by one of my teachers. Compared to the Neumann $4000 mic, the Rode $700 mic sounds better. PLUS the Rode comes with the shockmount and the Neumann doesnt.....want great "Neumann sound" on a price friendly to your pockets? Buy this Rode K2 Tube.....its awesome....try the test for yourself.

Rode Does It Again

The company that has gained a reputation for bringing top flight performance at beer budgets has not let us down. It has lower self noise than any tube mic 8 times it's price. It is very sensitive while offering the buttery smooth top end, open mids and tight as a drum bottom you would desire. A dynamic range to die for

Real winner!

I've been using this mic for over a year. It's versatility, warm tone, and ability to pick up every detail in the spoken word are why I bought it. It's been a fantastic addition to my studio and I can't imagine needing to work without it!
