K2 : Microphone of very high quality for a very low price!

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.
