Somebody pinch me.

ByR. Goldbergon August 31, 2013

Verified Purchase

This Audio Technica mic, the ATR2100-USB, is just kickin'! INCREDIBLE off-axis rejection at 90º for you stage types, almost absolute rear-end rejection. It sounds as good as comparative tests I've heard of the Apogee MiC (all respect to Apogee, a wonderful company) and comes with all the extras: tripod stand, both USB and XLR cables of realistic length, mic clip you can use on the tripod stand or a regular mic stand.

Sound is, of course, the bottom line: What should you reasonably expect of a mic that costs so little? To be shocked, that's what. Excellent sound, slight presence rise at about 2K, peaks a bit higher at 5K. Amazing for around $36 on Amazon, and it sounds better than some AT mics I''ve used that cost a couple hundred dollars; less peaky and intrusive in the high mids. With that more moderate presence boost, it'd likely be super for guitar as well, though I've not experimented with that as yet. Wow! I've run a recording/production suite since 1978, and have worked with many mics costing as much as 30x this price: Neumanns, AKGs, other Audio Technicas, Rødes, Sennheisers, on and on. For my purposes, this $36 mic (at time of my purchase) stands up in this good company as being quite usable, and for voice, perhaps almost in range of some of the best. No, it's not an $8,000 Neumann. It doesn't need to be.

I have no complaints about the excessive noise floor that others have mentioned. Frequency response is excellent, distortion remarkably low. Yes, it rolls off rapidly at the bottom end at around 50Hz, but you're going to be rolling that off anyway most of the time. You may have to look elsewhere if you're recording taiko drums or whalesong. Or maybe not. Thirty six dollars! I keep shaking my head. This feels like a mistake. It compares favorably to the Apogee Mic in online tests, and stands tall against a Røde NT1 I'm using for voice over work in the main studio. I look forward to bringing it into the A studio with its hypercritical speakers and hearing what it can do.

In operation, I've tried it on the Mac with Logic Pro X and on the iPad, using the required Camera Connection Kit, in Garage Band and Meteor. It performed very well. In Garage Band, I was able to listen to the already recorded tracks while monitoring the voice via the ATR2100-USB's integral headphone jack, 1/8". Yup. Playback of accompaniment material with zero-latency monitoring on your voice. Good stuff. On the Mac, I needed to unplug the mic in order to hear playback through my speakers, for some reason; this was not true on the iPad, as plugging the headphones into the iPad jack resulted in playback even with the mic still plugged in. I'll experiment further with Logic - may be a Mac thing, or I may just have messed up. Goldberg's Law: "there's always one more button."

So would I recommend this mic? To anyone. If you're cutting a classical violin partita album you'll have to use your own judgment, but A/B tests may yield surprises. I can't speak to longevity, obviously, since this just arrived. I've had some mics I've used successfully for 10 years and more. But for Windows, Mac or iOS recording (latter with the CCK), this is a tough one to beat. Don't even try.

Five stars cuz that's all there are. --BobboGoldberg, 9/1/13

Fabulous Value

ByMark Twainon April 26, 2012

Verified Purchase

This microphone is quickly becoming a standard for podcasters. It can be used without a mixer or preamp by connecting it to a computer with a USB cable. If you want to use it with a mixer, it also has XLR output. Both the USB and XLR outputs can be used at the same time.

The mic's sound is excellent. The podcaster's microphone of choice - and justifiably so - is the Heil PR40. It's the one that Leo Laporte uses on his Internet and radio shows. If you can afford a PR40, buy one. However, if you want to save some money and get a fabulous value, buy this mic. It's cheaper than a Shure SM58, a Blue Snowball, or Audio Technica AT2020, and it sounds better.

This mic is FANTASTIC!

ByDirty Hippieon April 27, 2016

Verified Purchase

This mic is FANTASTIC! I use it for streaming, youtube, voiceovers, etc. I was using a G230 headset for gaming which was fine but I wanted some high quality sound to give it all a more professional and warm, bassy feel. I was looking to build a whole studio with the preamp or phantom power but simply couldn't afford it. I have heard bad things about USB mics or sound cards, so I was hesitant to grab this one. I was not disappointed though, it sounds great, there is no humming or hissing from the mic when it's idle and if you plug your headphones into the back of it, you hear both yourself and your system sounds with 0 delay which is great for monitoring your own quality.

Because it has an XLR port as well as a USB port, it's a great choice if you're starting out but plan to grow. If I ever decide to grab a preamp or something, I can easily upgrade it without having to buy a new mic. I have this hooked up to a NEEWER microphone desk mount, which fits it just fine. I'll write a different review for that item, as it's not as great as I thought, but as far as compatibility, it fits.

I would highly recommend grabbing a 3-5$ "windsock" or foam cover for it to reduce your plosives and since it's a dynamic mic, It reduces the room sound greatly (it only really captures noise directly in front of it)

Works great

ByKyleon September 5, 2016

Verified Purchase

I run a small time youtube channel and this records my commentary fine.
Since this is dynamic microphone it will mostly capture sound from the direction it is pointing. This is different from a condenser microphone which will capture any sound anywhere in the room.

This microphone is useful if you're recording in an environment where you cannot control the environmental sounds. This microphone is great for any amateur podcaster or let's player, since you're probably not going to have access to a quiet recording studio. Another perk of this microphone is that has both xlr and usb connections. This leaves you room to grow and if you decide to get a mixer then you can just switch from usb to xlr.

There are a few cons. I have a mechanical keyboard, so it's a bit louder than the average keyboard. This microphone will still pick up the keyboard sounds. These sounds aren't very loud and don't distract away from my commentary so it's not really a problem for me. Just don't expect it to eliminate every single sound perfectly.

The other con is that it records kind of quietly so you may need to crank up your gain a bit. From my understanding all dynamic microphones are like this. The gain will create a fuzzy sound in the background. You can easily remove this sound in post though. Even Audacity (free) has a sound removal feature that will remove this sound effectively.

Once the fuzzy background sound is eliminated, my voice sounds nice, clear and proffesional. This is a great beginner microphone and your money is well spent on this microphone.
