You can have a new one not necessarily Rode. I think its better to replace since you can have it for $15 that can be mounted directly to your mic stand. Hope it helps

Your capsule is gone, sorry. I've owned 2 NT2s that I bought over 5 years ago. Eventually the capsule goes and that was what happened to mine: "started working-got quiet-unwanted noise"
The first time it happened Rode replaced my capsule for a $50 flat rate repair fee (capsules are $300..what a great co.)
However I recently contacted them about the second one and they no longer have replacement parts.
They did offer to give me a discount on a new mic if I sent the broken NT2 to them for parts.
It's too bad...I love those mics.

I would check the roll off switch first. If the mike is still under warranty, take it back where you got it for replacement or repair. Hope this helps.

I believe the front is the side with the response switch.

Check levels from mixer, bring it down if appropriate. Check gain...
& also check the connectors (V. Imp.)

The M2 wouldn't appear to be the best choice for a bass voice. I suggest a dynamic, like the Beyerdynamic M69 or M88.
