Rode K2 [7/16] Connecting the k2

- 7 -

• Having ensured that the power supply is set to the

correct voltage you can begin to connect the K2

to the power supply. Do not connect the power to

the mains before connecting the microphone.

• Connect the male 7-pin plug of the K2 cable to the

7-pin input socket on the rear of the power supply.

• Connect the female 7-pin plug of the K2 cable

to the microphone. Ensure that both plugs are

correctly aligned and pushed ﬁ rmly into their

respective sockets.

• Now connect an XLR microphone cable to the

output socket on the rear of the power supply,

taking that output to your mixer/pre-ampliﬁ er.

• We suggest the use of a high quality cable,

preferably with gold plated contacts. Use as short

a cable as possible, as long cables can adversely

affect sound quality.

• Ensure that the K2 is ﬁ xed securely using the

supplied SM2 shock mount to a stable microphone

stand. The K2 condenser microphone is a precision

instrument and should be treated with care.

• Now you can connect the power supply to the

mains supply and begin using the K2 microphone.

It is recommended to allow a minute or two to

allow the microphone to stabilise.
