• Rode NTK Valve 1.0" Condenser Microphone

  The  Rode   NTK Valve 1.0" Condenser Microphone is a large-diaphragm condenser microphone which employs Class-A valve circuitry resulting in a warm sonic character. Sporting a cardioid polar pattern, the NTK is designed for vocal and general instrument recording, while providing the sonic character found in higher-priced tube microphones. The capsule features a mylar dual diaphragm sputtered in gold to provide transparent signal reproduction and wide frequency response.

  The hand-selected and graded 6922 twin-triode valve comprises the core of the NTK's circuitry, providing an analog "warmth" and presence that meets the standards of the most demanding engineers. The microphone features a custom-built, Mu-metal transformer developed by Jensen Transformers. The end result is quiet, noise-free output at high-gain levels. The NTK features a separate power supply, providing +48V phantom power. 

  Tube Circuitry

  The Rode NTK features the 6922 twin-triode valve at the heart of its circuitry. The result is a warm sonic character similar to that found in higher-priced tube microphones.

  Quality Transformer Design

  The custom-designed, Jensen Mu-metal transformer provides a low-noise, high-gain signal path on output.

  Separate Power Supply

  A separate power supply provides +48V of phantom power.

• Rode SMR Advanced Shock Mount for Large Diaphragm Condenser Mics

  The Rode SMR is a professional-grade shock mount for large diaphragm condenser mics.  Featuring a double-Lyre suspension system, the SMR enhances Rycote�s Lyre system by using a smaller inner Lyre to act as a tensioning element. 

  The SMR's removable all-metal pop filter provides an integrated solution for plosive protection, that is washable and designed to last as long as the shock mount and microphone.  The SMR's  clamping system design utilizes a large surface area, allowing  for ample friction and weight handling, without the need for over-tightening of the locking thread.  With the load distributed over a greater surface area, the clamping system is designed to better withstand the wear and tear of repeated use.

  The SMR's frame is made from an engineering grade reinforced polymer. Vibration force is evenly distributed around the outer frame via the wide mounting rails, increasing the effectiveness of the Lyre system. 

  A base nut is also included, suitable for all compatible Rode microphones.

• Auray RF-C20 Studio Isolation Filter (Red Composite, Metal Back)

  The red composite, metal back RF-C20 Studio Isolation Filter from Auray provides a solution for music producers, broadcasters, and podcasters looking to help isolate a microphone and achieve better recordings in a space that is less than ideal for capturing audio. The Auray Studio Isolation Filter makes capturing clean, dry vocals or instrument recordings sound more natural with less sonic coloration.

  The RF-C20 fits on a medium- to heavy-duty microphone stand and uses a rugged aluminum mesh frame, four-layers of acoustic treatment, a vented metal back, plus a layer of acoustic composite fiber to absorb unwanted ambient noise and control acoustic reflections. In a nutshell, if your recording vocals, voiceovers, or podcasts in an untreated room with hard surfaces, the RF-C20 provides advanced microphone isolation for better-sounding results.

  Microphone Isolation

  Recording, broadcasting, or podcasting in rooms with little-to-no acoustic treatment can wash-out vocal or instrument audio recordings with echo reflections. The Auray Studio Isolation Filter minimizes reflections of unwanted noise bouncing off hard surfaces and entering your microphone. Usually, expensive acoustic foam is required on studio walls to absorb reflections and get a "dry" sound. With this reflection filter, you can achieve similar results in your own room or workspace.

  Four-Layer Acoustic Treatment

  Four layers of acoustic treatment help to isolate your vocal and instrument recordings. A thick layer of composite fiber surrounds your microphone and absorbs unwanted reflections, as well as additional noise coming in from the room. Two more layers of fabric and a perforated mesh layer help deaden and disperse sound waves, leaving your incoming audio clean and dry with little to no coloration.

  Adjustable Microphone Position

  Getting the right position with your microphone to capture vocals or instruments is a crucial step when recording audio. The RF-C20 allows you to adjust the microphone position horizontally and vertically. Slide the microphone closer to the filter for that dry sound or slide the microphone away from the filter to add more of the room ambience. You can also adjust the microphone height to fit the person or instrument you're recording. You can even alter the angle of the filter and microphone with a simple twist of a knob.

  Mounting Options

  The Auray Studio Isolation Filter can be mounted three ways. Use the clamps to attach the filter to medium- to heavy-duty boom and microphone stands. The clamps provide quick attachment and minimize setup time. An included 5/8- to 3/8" adapter allows you to seat the filter directly to the top of your mic stand. In addition, you can mount the isolation filter upside down to a mic boom arm for overhead recording.
