RODE NT2 (old model) capsule replacement in Europe

[Fablab]

Hello, I have an old RODE NT2 mic in which I have to replace the capsule and I'd like to know if someone can suggest me a place where to find a not expensive replacement in Europe

speak to Rode.  They have an excellent & inexpensive replacement/repair/service department.

...actually, Rode did not make the capsules used in the NT2...those K67-style capsules came from 797Audio, who currently manufacture Studio Projects mics among others...the closest thing to that original NT2 capsule is probably one of the
Studio Projects K67 capsules:

...microphone-parts.com was selling a very similar/same capsule, but has since discontinued:

...David Bock was still using that capsule for his now discontinued 195...

...you may be able to get one at a good price here:

Thank you very much!

That capsule is also in the Behringer B-2 Pro, or at least it used to be. Those can be found for little money. But it's a quite nice microphone and a good platform for (circuit) mods so some might not want to sacrifice it for the capsule. In that case, a broken one would be perfect.
Before that Behringer had the B2 (no Pro) which was very close to the Rode NT2 actually, so that one will likely have it, too.
I'm not sure about the latest versions of the B-2 Pro. Dennis, do you know?

...good point Henk...when Rode moved production of their mics exclusively to Australia, it was Behringer that picked up production from 797Audio with the B-2, and later the B-2 Pro...same K67-style capsule as the NT2 (and the top-of-the-line NT Classic I)...

...I'm not sure if current production B-2 Pro mics are originating from 797Audio, but I suspect they are...
