Review: Perfect Starter Mic for Quality Audio Productions (And Editor Friendly!) - This is an amazing mic for the price. I'm a budding podcaster and podcast editor and this mic beats a Sno Ball & Blue Yeti hands down. Comparatively, the Sno Ball picks up every background hum and sometimes random sound frequencies so the finished audio track will contain constant fuzz behind vocals that only goes away if the speaker mutes themselves. When using a Sno Ball, it's not always apparent during a live recording, but the audio track will have picked it up. And since it's underneath the vocals, an editor can only do so much without turning the speaker into sounding like a robot. The only thing I would recommend this mic for would be for better-than-a-cheap-headset sounding Skype, Discord or TeamSpeak/Vent conversations but not for audio recordings. The Blue Yeti picks up every single background noise but is usually pretty good with not picking up buzz. Got a squeaky door? Chair? Scratch an itch on your arm or face when you're near the mic? Drop a pen? You got it, the Yeti will pick all of that up with enthusiasm. The audio quality is really decent, however, but, dang, if it doesn't want to record absolutely every sound that occurs within the room. This mic, the Audio-Technica ATR2100-USB, since it uses a cardioid polar pattern, doesn't pick up any noise from the sides or rear, making background noise pick-up very minimal. I have it right next to and slightly in front of my desktop and it never picks up the hum of the fans or noises from the processor. I've heard from musician friends that this is a challenging mic to work with on stage as a singer because you basically have to inhale the mic to be heard, but for podcasting, I find that the closer I get to the mic, the more pronounced my pops are. I can be a good 6 inches away and my vocal quality is great, without the pops. When I first got into podcasting, the reason I ended up choosing this mic as my starter mic was because all the podcasting equipment advice I kept researching pointed to this mic over a Yeti for overall sound quality and a better price point. Quality and a cheaper price is something it definitely delivers on. This mic will last me a really long time and couldn't be happier about my purchase of it almost a year ago. If you're serious about wanting really good audio with little hassle (especially in post), I highly recommend this mic. Super easy to set up, too. Just plug the USB into your computer and you're good to go.
Review: Works great - 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.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How close do you have to have the mic in order for it to get good volume?  Can I sit back a bit, or do I have to be right on top of it?**
A: It's a dynamic mic, therefore it will not pick up any outside noise. You can easily talk directly into the microphone or 2 to 6 inches away for best quality without any distortion. If you lean back and talk from couple of feet away, you will still be heard but your voice will sound in the distance. Needless to say this mic is simply awesome and has much clearer sound than my $300 + mics. Get it. You'll love it. Good luck.

**Q: Can I have this plugged into a speaker system as well as a computer for output to both? Looking for a microphone to use at a live-streaming conference**
A: Yes you can. I plug mine into a Zoom H4n using the XLR output and into my computer using the USB output for recording my podcast. It works great.

**Q: Can the 3.5mm jack output audio from your computer? For example, if I wanted to monitor my voice and hear my Skype friends with the headphones.**
A: Can confirm that it works, using it this way right now. I hadn't been using the monitor jack just assuming that it'd mean I couldn't hear system audio without going through external speakers and I didn't want that. I actually came looking for windscreen options (besides the old sock missing it's other half I've got now) and came across this question/answer so I opened up the playback device properties and set the USB microphone speakers as default. Works like a charm.

**Q: Is it good for conference call in a room where the mic will be about 3-5 feet away from everyone?**
A: Not at all. The sound will be feeble. I can point you to a video where you can see the proof for yourself. If you are interested in listening to sound comparison on YouTube, Just lookup - Multiple microphone unboxing and sound test..Again, its an amazing mic and should be used from just about 2-3 inches away from mouth. As soon as it crosses 4-5 inches it will be feeble..3-5 feet away, you will start hating this beautiful microphone. Its not meant to be used  from that distance. Try Blue YETI for that.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Really Impressed!
*by A***R on February 14, 2014*

I recently decided to start making videos again through Youtube putting forth an effort of improving the quality of my videos and the first step was improving audio. I'm on a strict budget since I don't have a lot of cash at the moment so I needed a microphone that was fairly priced, but quality. I didn't need anything too high-tech or mobile either since most of the filming I will be seated. I always research anything before investing in it and it was mind blowing to me that I did not see many negative reviews about this microphone so I went all in and I purchased it. I just want to say I am REALLY impressed by the quality. I was fooling around with it on Audacity and looking up videos on how to deal with audio. I did a lot of things from compressing, normalizing, equalizing, and etc. The sound quality is so good, so crisp, clear, and raw that, in my opinion, NOTHING needs to be done or I find that it actually HURTS the quality of the sound more than it improves it. As good as the microphone is there are a few annoying aspects, for example; when you plug the USB into the computer to activate the microphone you HAVE to use your headphones through the microphone to hear anything so I find myself plugging and unplugging it constantly. You also have to be really close to the microphone to get the best sound. If you plan on being about a foot away then you will definitely need to speak up. Other than that, I don't have much of an issue with the microphone. I appreciated the stand as well and the cables just for something a little extra. I gave this a 4 out of 5 mostly because of the annoying factor of having to plug and unplug the microphone and the necessary use of headphones while using it. And while I do have a pretty loud, clear voice I wish that the quality of the sound wasn't effected as much due to just being about a foot apart. I would say this microphone is DEFINITELY for podcasters or doing commentary. It's honestly the best bang for your buck. I would recommend it for anybody. Great purchase!
