Review: This is the mic I recorded my songs with - they're on the radio - I have several songs on the radio now and THIS is the mic that hot me there. I absolutely love it!! It's clear, bright, vibrant and so, so, so detailed. I prefer it to mics that are nearly TWENTY TIMES the price. This is MY mic. I use it for everything: vocals, guitar, some percussion. I even used it to record frogs and crickets on a summer night to use in the background on an upcoming song. Truly, you won't find a better mic.
Review: Buttery Goodness - I am beyond pleased with the quality of this piece of functional art. It is as much a pleasure to handle and look at as it is to use. Tracking work becomes instantly more productive just by adding this as that critical step 1. Everything sounds better, which makes everyone feel better, which makes all the performances better, so you end up getting SO MUCH DONE! The mic has a rich openness that I can only describe as beautiful. Accurately capturing even the most gentle transients and spectral shifts, The K2 manages to deliver a tonally balanced "silky warmness" I've only ever heard from a Neumann U87, but a buttery goodness that is a character all it's own. This mic will STAY in my first try lineup.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How do I connect this to a pc?**
A: You need to have some sort of interface which coincides with the DAW you are utilizing. Focus rite or universal audio units are popular, but there are countless ones that work just as well based on personal preference and budget. Hook up via XLR cable and you’re good to go. No need for phantom power because the tube mic comes with its on preamp.

**Q: I bought a used k2 here and the cardio pattern does not work! if i put it in omni, then the back of the mic picks up.   anyone seen this? lemon?**
A: Sounds like a fault to me....They are built like a tank so try and swop the power supply to see if that is the problem.

**Q: Does it still need phantom power supply even with its own power supply unit?**
A: No it doesn't.

**Q: Is this a large diaphragm microphone?**
A: Yes, this is a large diaphragm condenser. It has it's own power supply, so it doesn't require phantom power. I believe it is a C12 type of capsule.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love this Mic
*by D***O on October 14, 2015*

Love this Mic! Best mic I've ever owned, I had a cheap Chinese mic (Studios Project c1) And wanted to upgrade to a nicer high end mic. I have recorded using $5.000 mics before, U87's, telefunken and other expensive mics . This mic is by far my favorite of all of them. It has that "warm sound" it sounds good on everyone I've recorded so far. Highly recommend it.
