Flawless bundle
Abeo 12.11.2020
After purchasing an NTK it is safe to say this mic is worth the extra £100 for the different capsules and extra polar-patterns.

Truly the ONLY vocal mic any studio needs for this price bracket and easily performs along with mics twice/thrice the price.

A great sounding mic for male vocals
Megiddo 16.08.2018
While I've read mixed reviews over the web, in my case the K2 works great. The vocals come out clear, well defined, somewhat thick and crunchy.
I haven't really played around with the omni & 8 figure patterns, but overall I'm pleased with the sound.
One thing to be careful about though is keeping a 'safe' distance from it. Coming too close can make it sound a bit too harsh / sibilant.

Microphone of very high quality for a very low price!
WardBest 10.02.2019
I have been using this quality microphone for years and am very satisfied with it. Fantastic vocal microphone, where the softness and the very open sound are particularly striking, without sounding shrill. It is not an aggressive microphone (but what microphone fits all kind of voices). A more crunchy tone can easily be achieved by giving the preamp a bit of a beating (I usually use it in combination with a Demeter VTMP-2B preamp, or the SPL Channel One Premium with an inserted 1176 style comp). Where the microphone excels even more is with bass drum. Here it rivals the Neumann U47Fet itself, and that is saying a lot. And with the exceptionally high SPL value, this microphone is difficult to distort. It is also excellent as a room mic or as an overhead (for non-aggressive genres).
The microphone is also recommended for acoustic guitar or in front of a guitar cabinet (at about 20 cm), and for percussion
And the best part is of course that this microphone, which can hold its own against the usually very expensive usual suspects, is available for an incredibly low price.

pros - very good sounding mic.
rugged design
cons - you really need a vocal booth as it is VERY sensitive.,
but it is a top level mic & that is not really a con.
I found it was picking up my computer's fan from over 6 M away
and this made it un-useable so i went back to my old beyer.
I moved the mic to the passage,
it was a lot better but still picked up noise
still the audio quality makes up for this. An excellent product.
