Rode NT2 Mod Service
We offer a new upgrade service for the Rode NT2 microphone. It addresses the shortcomings identified by the mic's original designer, Jim Williams. It also upgrades numerous components that we've found to improve the sound of the mic: We adjust the capsule polarization voltage. Some mics run at high voltage (70V), while most are too low (<40V). This change requires reworking part of the oscillator circuit and its voltage feed. The benefit of raising the capsule voltage to 60V (for those mics that are under-powered) is an audible increase in sensitivity, and an improvement in the signal to noise ratio. The capsule power supply rail is upgraded to improve noise filtering. The stock circuit contains a wiring error that prevents it from correctly filtering noise. We upgrade the main signal coupling capacitors to extend the mic's low frequency response and improve resolution. We modify the mic's output circuit to reduce sensitivity to EMI/RFI from the cable, while also improving compatib
