Titanium-powered performance
The heart of the T2 microphone is its titanium-sputtered capsule, offering a rigidity and lightness that gold simply can't match. This translates into a faster transient response, crucial for accurately capturing the attack and decay of fast-moving sound sources like percussion and strings. Whether you're recording the sharp hits of a snare drum or the swift bowing of a violin, the T2 ensures every detail is rendered with crystal-clear precision.
Adaptable recording patterns
Versatility is key in the studio and live settings and the T2 excels with its four switchable polar patterns: cardioid, omnidirectional, figure-eight, and hypercardioid. This flexibility allows you to select the perfect pattern for minimizing unwanted sound in complex recording environments or to experiment with creative miking techniques. From isolating a single source in a noisy room to capturing the ambience of a live performance, the T2 adapts seamlessly to your needs.
Dynamics under control
Handling dynamic range challenges is a breeze with the T2's switchable pre-attenuation pads and bass-cut filters. Loud sources like brass instruments and powerful vocals can be tamed with the -10 or -20 dB pads, preventing clipping and distortion. The low-cut filters, set at 40 and 80 Hz, are perfect for reducing rumble and proximity effect, ensuring your recordings are clean and focused, no matter how close you get to the sound source.
Stereo precision
For those seeking the ultimate in soundstage accuracy and depth, the T2 is available in a matched pair configuration. Each pair is meticulously tested and tuned to ensure a virtually identical frequency response, making them ideal for stereo recording techniques. Whether you're capturing a live concert, a studio session, or creating immersive soundscapes, the T2 matched pair provides a cohesive and balanced stereo image that brings your recordings to life.
Reviews
"I'm looking for a mid-range texture that the T2 gives me." - Greg Price (Tony Iommi FOH Engineer)
"The T2's sounded exactly like I hoped they would. Punch and beef on toms was the number one criteria, and they delivered. Just slight EQ'ing in my API 560's and they were perfect." - Chris Fogel (Scoring Engineer - Black Pantherm The Wolf Of Wallstreet)
"It's a firm, huge sound...it does low-end really well. This is my favourite upright bass mic. We could tell right away that it was bada**" - Bill Reynolds (Avett Brothers, Band Of Horses)
