Australia's only really big claim to international audio was probably the Fairlight sampling system, but despite the predominance of Japanese and American gear on the world market, Australia still has a significant audio industry. The mic under review comes from Rode, a part of the Freedman group of companies, and though there's no sign of the Aussie dry wit in the physical design of the mic or its packing (no Wallaby skin case or wooden box with corks round it), it can't be just coincidence that Rode NT2 spells rodent! Humour is more evident in the manual, which contains a warning that you should never take the mic into the shower, go swimming with it, play football with it or use it to hammer nails in, as doing any of these may void the warranty...
At A Glance
I'd always thought of the Australians as being proudly original — so why have they styled this mic after Neumann's U87? I know there are only so many shapes you can make a mic, but to copy somebody else's cosmetics so blatantly is almost like shouting out loud that you're producing a cheap copy. However, having taken the mic apart, I have to say that it's very nicely put together, and the satin chrome casework is quite solid; the whole thing weighs 530 grammes.
Most capacitor mics are cardioid only, or offer a choice of all the main pickup patterns, but this model is switchable between cardioid and omni patterns. A 3 position switch allows you to select a 10dB pad, an LF roll off filter, or to bypass both these functions. This prevents you using the pad and the roll off settings at the same time, but in most situations, this isn't a serious limitation.
The dual pressure gradient capsule is around 25mm in diameter, and utilises the familiar gold plated membrane. Unusually for a relatively low cost mic, the circuitry is transformerless, which helps to maintain the mic's fast transient response (see below). It's also evident that the designers are audiophiles, as each component has been selected not only on the basis of its electrical properties, but also for the best subjective sound. On top of this, the internal connectors (and the output XLR pins) are gold plated and coated with an antioxidant, and even the printed circuit boards are coated with Conformal, which I'm told protects against corrosion.
I was rather hoping that the package would include a frequency response plot, but no such luck. All we're told is that the frequency response extends from 20Hz to 20kHz, but without specifying within what limits, this doesn't really tell you much! Ultimately, what really counts is the subjective sound, but I always find a response plot useful. Sensitivity is quoted as 16mV/Pa, which is about what you'd expect from a large diaphragm mic, as is the 17dB A weighted noise figure. The mic runs from standard 48V phantom power, and can handle a maximum SPL of 145dB with the pad switched in.
