Thank you for purchasing a RØDE NT 2. This
precision microphone will, if you follow the basic

operational/storage information, give you years of high
performance, trouble free service.

RØDE is part of the Freedman Group of Companies

which was founded by the late Henry Freedman. Henry
was born in London England, emigrating to Stockholm
Sweden in the early 50’s where his career as an
Electronics Engineer began. In 1966 he moved his
family to Australia and established Freedman
Electronics, a pioneer in the Professional Audio Industry.

The Company Headquarters are in Sydney Australia,
home of the 2000 Olympic games. There are divisions
that import and distribute professional audio products,
and others that design and manufacture speaker
systems, amplifiers and associated electronics.

The NT 2 is part of a growing family of microphones and
accessories backed by over forty years of experience in
Professional Audio, and is the result of a two year
research and development program. Each microphone
is hand assembled in Australia using imported and
locally produced parts. The electronic components used
were selected not only for their reliability and technical
specification, but extensive listening tests were also
carried out to gauge their sonic qualities before being
included.

All wiring and solder is of Hi-Fi Industry grade and all
connecting points are Gold plated as well as being
treated with Deoxidizing Solution. The PCB’s are
sprayed with a Conformal, and the above procedures
assure long term immunity to signal degrading
corrosion.

Each microphone is ‘soak tested’ for 24 hours prior to its
final test.

We are proud of this microphone, and hope that you
are, and remain fully satisfied with your purchase.
