Audio-Technica ATR2100x-USB Cardioid Dynamic Microphone for USB and XLR, Silver

The versatile ATR2100x-USB content creation microphone is designed for live performance, podcasts, and voiceover use. This rugged handheld microphone offers two outputs: a USB output that connects to your computer or other device for digital recording, and an XLR output that connects to a sound system's conventional microphone input for live performance. The ATR2100x-USB features a high-quality analog-to-digital converter (24-bit, up to 192 kHz) for excellent fidelity and a headphone jack with level control for direct monitoring from the microphone. Its cardioid polar pattern reduces pickup of unwanted sounds from the sides and rear.

The microphone includes an on/off switch and comes with two 2m (6.6') USB cables (USB-C to USB-C, USB-C to USB-A) and a 3 M (9.8') XLR-F-to-XLR-M cable for maximum versatility. A sturdy tripod desk stand with folding legs is also included for use on tabletops.

The ATR2100x-USB is a handheld dynamic microphone with a USB-C digital output and an XLR analog output. Its durable metal construction ensures long-lasting performance, and its smooth, extended frequency response makes it perfect for podcasting, home studio recording, field recording, voiceover, and other content creation applications.

The USB output connects to your computer (Windows and Mac) for digital recording, while the XLR output connects to your sound system's conventional microphone input for use in live performance. The on/off switch functions for both USB and analog operation.

The built-in headphone jack lets you monitor directly from the microphone, and the dial on the bottom allows you to easily adjust the headphone volume. The cardioid polar pattern reduces pickup of unwanted sounds from the sides and rear, improving isolation of the desired sound source. The low-mass diaphragm provides excellent frequency response, and the high-quality A/D converter offers a 24-bit, up to 192-kilohertz sampling rate.

The included sturdy tripod desk stand with folding legs is easy to set up and transport. The threaded stand clamp attaches securely to the supplied tripod or to a conventional microphone stand. The microphone also comes with three cables: USB-C to USB-C, USB-C to USB-A, and XLR-F to XLR-M.
