Top-of-the-line Dual 1" Condenser Studio Valve Microphone
The Classic II is RØDE's top-of-the-line studio condenser microphone.
Classic by name and classic by nature.
Featuring a custom spec 1" dual diaphragm capsule feeding a vintage twin triode (New old stock) GE JAN-6072 valve and custom Jensen output transformer.
The result?
Classic warmth and richness on both vocals and acoustic instruments.
Nine polar patterns, variable PAD and filter. Shock mount. Machined from solid brass, the body is hand-polished, glass bead-blasted and coated in satin nickel. Also included is a double-shielded oxygen-free 30' copper cable with heavy-duty plugs and sockets, power supply, a suspension shock mount, stand mount, thread adaptor and sturdy aluminium flight case.
