Thank you for buying the Audio-Technica ATR2100x-USB cardioid dynamic USB/XLR microphone. Equipped with both
USB-C and XLR outputs, this digital/analog mic is designed both for live performance and digitally capturing music or
any acoustic audio source using your favorite recording software.
The ATR2100x-USB offers high-quality articulation and intelligibility perfect for home studio recording, field recording,
podcasting, voice over, and on-stage use. Its cardioid polar pattern reduces pickup of sounds from the sides and rear,
improving isolation of desired sound source.
The microphone also features a built-in headphone jack with volume control that allows you to directly monitor your
microphone's output during recording. The microphone's focused pickup pattern delivers excellent off-axis rejection,
while its A/D converter with up to 24-bit, 192 kHz sampling rate ensures clear, articulate sound reproduction.
Audio-Technica's state-of-the-art design and manufacturing techniques ensure that the microphone complies with the
company's renowned consistency and reliability standards.
