Audio-Technica ATR2100x-USB Cardioid Dynamic Microphone (ATR Series) USB and XLR Outputs

Great item. Get a better base stand but the quality itself is great. I use it as a desk mic for gaming and I tremendously prefer it over condenser mics.

As a beginner diving into the world of podcasting and voiceovers, I couldn't be happier with my choice of the Audio-Technica ATR2100x-USB Cardioid Dynamic Microphone. This versatile microphone is a game-changer, and it's designed to be a reliable companion for years to come.What sets this microphone apart is its dual connectivity. With both USB-C digital output and XLR analog output, it provides flexibility that's hard to beat. While many competitors offer only mini-USB, this microphone goes the extra mile, offering the connectivity options I need for various recording scenarios. It's a simple but powerful feature that makes a world of difference.The microphone itself delivers crisp, clear audio that's a joy to work with. And when paired with a windscreen and a pop filter (both sold separately), it transforms into a radio-quality microphone, capturing every nuance of your voice. Whether you're podcasting, recording voiceovers, or engaging in any content creation, this microphone truly shines.The package comes with both XLR and USB-C cables, making setup a breeze, and the not so sturdy tripod desk stand with folding legs is a practical addition, albeit not very useful for my studio. It's easy to transport, if you were doing a mobile recording or voiceover job, it would work.I have been particularly impressed by the sound quality. The cardioid polar pattern reduces unwanted sounds from the sides and rear, enhancing the isolation of the desired sound source.Now, let's talk about the downsides. It would have been great if a windscreen was included in the package, as it's an essential accessory for minimizing plosives and improving audio quality. Additionally, the stand, while functional, could be more stable. It might wobble a bit, especially if you're working in a busy environment.In summary, the Audio-Technica ATR2100x-USB Dynamic Microphone is a fantastic choice for anyone starting a podcast or diving into voiceovers. Its exceptional audio quality, dual connectivity, and ease of setup make it an ideal choice for beginners and a valuable tool for professionals. Just remember to invest in a windscreen, and you'll be well on your way to creating top-notch audio content. This microphone is a sound investment for anyone passionate about recording and podcasting.

The Audio-Technica ATR2100x-USB is an outstanding microphone that seamlessly blends versatility and performance. The ability to use both USB and XLR connections makes it perfect for everything from podcasting and voiceovers on a computer to live performances or studio recording with an audio interface. The sound quality is clear, crisp, and professional, capturing vocals with excellent detail and minimal background noise thanks to its cardioid polar pattern. Its durable build quality ensures it can withstand regular use, and the included accessories, like the tripod stand, make setup a breeze. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned pro, the ATR2100x-USB offers incredible value and exceptional audio quality, making it a top choice in its class.

High quality sound. A solid little mic.Trouble is, it doesn't work with all the various online meeting platforms people keep asking me to use. I keep having to set it up anew every time I have to use it on something different.This could be my fault, but I wish it was more intuitive.

I bought this USB Microphone for an online DJ Setup on my laptop. I initially used the microphone I used with my mobile DJ setup in the 1990’s with a 6.5 to 3.5 mm adapter and the sound was terrible through the laptop. This USB Microphone plugs into the USB Port on my laptop and delivers crystal clear sound for voiceovers and speaking through the system. I’m very happy I purchased this microphone. You will be happy with this microphone.

This mic worked great. Was really happy with it..... then I wasn't.The USB-C connector started to become loose, and we lost a couple of valuable interviews because the audio was completely unusable, full of noise and static. Tried multiple cables etc - it sadly was the USB-C connection. Buying another Shure MVX2U MOTIV XLR to USB-C Streaming Adapter and using a Shure SM58 or Sennheiser MD 46.Was very cheap - but the value wasn't there.

I create instructional videos, and I find this mic does a great job capturing a full range of frequencies. I had been using my favorite headset, but the vocals sounded a bit tinny. My headset is better suited for phone calls.I have the Linux desktop, and this mic with USB works great with zoom and my recording software (OBS).

Great recording microphone for any phone. Has a low impedance output for house sound and a digital out for phone or computer. My wife is a choir director and we make recording for the choirs to learn their songs. For years we used the phone mike it made adequate recordings, then we bought a popular mike (that looks like a SM7) and we were surprise how much the recordings improved today we recorded with the Audio-Technica ATR2100x-USB Cardioid Dynamic Microphone with USB and XLR Outputs and we were really impressed. Really clear fidelity a mile apart from our prior microphone. It's a keeper. More good things: - it includes an XLR cable, has a real on and off switch, and has two USB cables one to a phone and for a computer. I did not need to buy any adapters. The microphone comes with a stand that sort of works. Yes it holds up the mike if the mike is balanced right. But I am really happy with the fidelity of the microphone. The build quality of the mike is also impressive seems to be all metal - looks similar to a SM58. Wow.
