Introduction

Thank you for investing in the multi award-winning

NTK valve condenser microphone.

The NTK is the result of an extensive development
program to create a truly superior valve condenser
microphone.

The heart of the NTK is the Australian designed and
manufactured HF-2 capsule. The electronic circuitry
complementing this very sensitive transducer includes
a hand-selected twin-triode 6922 valve and audiophile
grade components and layout.

The result is an ultra-wide dynamic range, very low
noise, and stunning tube warmth that has made the

NTK a favourite in the hearts and studios of tens

of thousands of audio professionals around the world.

The NTK’s rich valve sound is ideal for vocals, acoustic
instruments, drum overheads, guitar amps and pianos.

Please take the time to visit www.rodemic.com and
register your microphone for a full ten year warranty.
