The Horch RM2J Mark 2 is a large diaphragm microphone in the tradition of the classic tube microphones of the 1950s and 1960s. The RM2J Mark 2 , equipped with a specially designed microphone capsule, offers a powerful sound and can be used variably by its changeable directional characteristic and the additional sound selection switch. True to the HORCH principle "Proven Optimization ", the new HORCH RM2J Mark 2 was developed with several improvements compared to the previous model.

The sound selector switch located in the front of the capsule provides two very different operating modes.

In linear mode (the selector switch is illuminated from the inside blue), the directional characteristic can be adjusted steplessly at the power supply between ball, kidney and eight. The microphone works very linearly in this mode and is therefore equally suitable for all recording situations.

The vocal mode (the pressed selector switch is illuminated from the inside red) offers a special renal characteristic with an even more pronounced close-up effect compared to the kidney characteristic in the linear mode, thereby helping to sing the desired "larger-than-life" sound.

New in RM2J Mark 2 is the HIC. The HORCH Impedance Converter converts the output impedance of the microphone capsule and increases the sensitivity and linearity together with the subsequent tube amplifier, without missing the popular "HORCH tube sound". The tube amplifier operates without any frequency response by means of feedback. For lovers of pure tube switching, HORCH provides the Pure Tube Mode , which takes the HORCH-HIC completely out of the signal flow. The RM2J Mark2 is then 100% identical to the previous model RM2J. The HORCH Impedance Converter is optionally internally bridged for this purpose. The tripod cable joint piece has been extended by a movement option. Without missing the popular "HORCH tube sound".

The set includes the HORCH RM2J Mark 2 microphone, the HORCH standard power supply NT1206 and the cable with swivel joint

Power supply unit NT1206 The HORCH NT1206 power supply unit provides the necessary voltages for the operation of the HORCH tubular strain gauge RM2J Mark 2. The directional characteristic can be varied on the front between ball, kidney and eight-note characteristics. The HORCH NT1206 is designed in a purely analog circuit technology. It has a very tube-protecting current regulation and an HF-filtering of the anode voltage. The microphone is connected via a classic 7-pin multipin jack. The connection to a microphone preamplifier is via the 3-pin XLR output.
