question

I read in the Product highlights that the NTK comes with a dual diaphragm capsule, and 9 polar patterns? Is this correct? ( I believe that describes is the Rode K2, and not the NTK.) Nor does it use phantom power.
Asked by: Dan E.
I apologize for the confusion, the NTK is a cardioid patterned mic, not variable, and utilizes its own included power supply.

question

Can this be used as a stage mic as well? I would be using this to record students in my studio of voice in my living room. Is this a good option for not being in a recording studio?
Asked by: Sharon T.
Generally speaking, Large diaphragm microphones are not recommended choices for stage use. They are just too delicate for this application.

Your website says that the NTK comes with a 6072 tube. I thought it came with a 6922 tube?
Asked by: Dan E.
We stand corrected. According to RODE: Hand selected and graded 6922 twin-triode valve . Thanks for pointing this out.
