## Description

The atr2100x-usb is a versatile content creation microphone, 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 systems conventional microphone input for use in live performance. The atr2100x-usb also offers 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 mic includes an on/off switch and comes with two 2 m (6. 6') USB cables (USB-C to USB-C, USB-C to USB-A) and a 3 M (9. 8') xlrf-to-xlrm cable for maximum versatility. A sturdy tripod desk stand with folding legs is also included for use on tabletops.

Review: great great mic for the price - This mic is pretty great. It is a dynamic microphone which means its 'less' sensitive than a condenser microphone and you have to speak/sing very close. The quality and clarity is actually insanely good for such an affordable microphone. The best part is the USB-C output so you can easily connect to your PC or laptop to use. There is also an audio jack for headphones to monitor your voice. And of course the standard XLR connection. Something important to note, the microphone came with a type C cable to use, and I have tried using another type C charger cable and it did NOT work. Its possible you need a certain kind of type c? am not too sure, didn't look into it, but something to be aware of.... The stand it comes with is sufficient if you really needed a stand, but it wobbles and its small. It is a small standard looking microphone, but it has some heft to it (feels high quality). I recommend a small microphone foam filter for pops if you're doing recorded voice work. Not necessary but its helpful.
Review: A Fantastic Choice for Podcasting and More - 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.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: It keeps having this constant annoying audio humming noise in the background when I plug my handphones into the mic, or play it back?**
A: I had the exact same issue. In Windows 10 I was able to fix this by going into the Sound Control Panel, selecting the microphone from Playback devices and muting the microphone from the levels tab. It seems to be treating this microphone as two separate mics. The first is the actual microphone itself and a second "mic" through the headphone jack.

**Q: It refuses to turn on with my macbook pro.  i have changed cables and ports.  the previous model has no problems.  any ideas?**
A: OH MY GOD

My mic wasn't working for months. I thought it was due to the nerdy $300 USB C adapter I had just purchased so I'd been putting it off. 

I just unplugged the Hub and plugged things directly in to diagnose the problem. Turns out, I'd accidentally switched the microphone off during dusting. 

It still shows up in the microphone options for Mac so I figured that it was just a bad mic. I came down here to the reviews as I didn't want to shell out for another. 

I want to reiterate here ---

The thing literally just accidentally got switched off but still showed up in my sound so I almost wasted $100 being an idiot.

**Q: Are returns/refunds available for this microphone?**
A: Amazons return policy will cover it of course. But even audio technical has amazon return policy’s!

**Q: Is a pop filter recommended?**
A: Pop filters protect the microphone from blasts of air close up, think broadcast or recording vocals. If you are farther back then it's of no use. If you are using it for anything other than voice it's of no use. Pop filters can alter the tone, only use it if you need to.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quality Audio For Beginners and Pros Alike!!!
*by T***I on May 15, 2021*

I bought this mic with the intention to use it for commentary, podcasts and on-set recording. The sound quality is phenomenal, super crisp and clean with very little static. I hooked this bad boy up to both my zoom h4 via 48v phantom power and directly to my computer running my capture software, and the sound quality holds up on both ends, I can only imagine the magic this thing can make with a decent audio interface. I will say the one down side is that the mic stand it comes with is very, and I mean VERY, V E R Y cheaply made. The build of it is entirely made of plastic with loose and flimsy joints, so be prepared to upgrade to a more heavy duty stand at some point(which is what people should be doing in the first place instead of basing their initial review of this product on the quality of the stand alone lol, get good dummies). That being said, it's a very small and petty price to pay for a pro-sumer mic of spectacular quality. Pair this with a proper shock-mounted stand and BAM: pro audio in a pinch. Overall, the mic is an absolute must for beginners and pros alike. The price point might be high, but Audio technica has always been a considerable "high end" brand on the pro-sumer market, compared to premiums like Senheiser or Sony, but still offers quality without significantly denting your budget. ALSO, something to note for owners of the OG ATR 2100: I've had experience in using the original 2100(the silver one) from a friend. The sound quality is the same and has the same harware with the exception of the mini usb port vs the 2100x's usb type c. I personally think the upgrade from the 2100 to the 2100x is not worth it, but at the same time there are some people who would look at the updated hardware as a plus.
