This Mic is everything i wanted, me and my brother are putting together a podcast but we live in a noisy house. So we needed a Dynamic mic for those of you who dont know they pic up sound in a small area rather then in large areas like Condenser mics. The package is nice, comes in the box in a plastic mold, the XLR cables are strong, the mic has a strong metallic build as well, the USB cable is standard and about 5 feet long. No Drivers needed Plug and play im using this with windows 10.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: if you do NOT want to speak VERY close to the mic, and i mean like the mic has to be around 1inch away from your mouth then do NOT get this product. This is a Dynamic mic, its made to pic up the closes sounds the best. Which is why its great for a podcast radio station, or on stage or for instruments where you want to pick up only the nearby targeted sounds and not the surroundings.
DOES THE JOB FOR ME: With this mic not picking up any background noise and with a mic windscreen on it, when i edit my sounds i never have to clean it up, its already clean, you can see the sound waves and in between where no one is speaking there is almost NO sound picked up which is pretty nice.
CONS:
You have to speak up close to it, you CAN speak about a foot away if you have an editing software to enhance the gain later. If not, right up in personal gives you the best clear sounds.
Even when i Shut down my PC the BLUE LED on the mic does NOT turn off, so i just unplug the USB cable. Not a big deal, over all i love this mic its so professional looking with a strong build does NOT feel cheap.
The Table stand how ever kinda sucks, but it does its job of holding the mic no wobbles, no vibrations, it does not tilt forward or backward in a loose way from the weight, as a throw in perk with the mic it is not bad at all.
Over all for the price this is a GOOD DEAL.
AND YES ITS GOOD FOR SINGING TOO, VERY GOOD. I had my sister sing on the mic to give it a test run and it sounded crisp and clean this mic is just epic.

Best microphone I've ever had. Very pleased.
Bought a $10 stand set that came with a scissor arm stand, pop filter, and shock mount to fit this. Very good deal. The mic came a week late because it was shipped to Amazon first so it could be inspected and repackaged WITH the stand. Makes it much neater to ship it with the stand. First audio test was in hand, with raw sound. I am very pleased with the quality. I waited many months to have the opportunity to purchase this product and I couldn't be happier.One and only thing that I do not like about the Audio Technica ATR2100 is that it doesn't fit it many shock mounts. Though I found a way through this.For other people who want to use a shock mount instead of the original holder, here's a simple guide:1. Heat up the stand by putting it beside an open oven or leave it outside in the hot weather. Grab some everyday scissors and slowly but surely cut across the stand holder from the tripod connector.2. Make sure that you leave enough for the stand to have a little hook above the hole that is about in the middle of the holder to prevent it from slipping through the shock mount.3. Slip the stand holder in the shock mount, facing the little hook to the shock mount's hole where it separates for larger mics.Now you have a no longer useless shock mount! The stand fits pretty well and doesn't come out easily. Smaller shock mounts that do fit the mic easily are usually harder to find and more expensive. So this is an easier way to fit it in shock mounts.Thank you for giving me the opportunity to buy this wonderful product. Will strongly suggest to others looking for mics.

El material del micrófono se siente de un aluminio robusto y resistente y tiene buen peso.
Me parece que el ART2500 es ideal para grabaciones de podcast porque lo puedes conectar muy rápido mediante usb sin la necesidad de una interfaz de audio. Mientras que el AT2020 me parece más útil para grabación de canto en estudio.
Yo lo uso en mi macbook pro 2017 y con logic pro 10.4.5. El dispositivo se detecta al instante. Pero como no se conecta a una interfaz de audio, debes regular el gain desde las opciones de sonido del sistema. Los botones de volumen del micrófono me parece que son para ajustar los monitores, pues tienen una conexión directa para audífonos.
Lo único no tan bueno es la base que incluye, pues es de plástico y se siente algo frágil. De momento me ha funcionado bien, pero al transportarla hay que tener cuidado de no lastimarla.
Si tu intención es utilizar este micrófono para tu podcast te lo recomiendo 100%.
