Audio-Technica ATR2500x-USB

The Audio-Technica ATR2500x-USB is a USB cardioid condenser microphone. Record podcasts, voiceovers and home studio audio directly to a computer while monitoring at the microphone. Core features include USB-C digital output, Cardioid pickup and Recording up to 24-bit/192 kHz.

The directional pickup pattern concentrates on the sound in front of the capsule and reduces pickup from the sides and rear. This helps establish a focused recording of a voice or instrument, especially when microphone position is used carefully. The result is a flexible starting point for capturing a performance with useful separation from its surroundings.

The USB connection brings the microphone directly into a compatible computer recording or streaming workflow. Onboard headphone facilities make it easy to follow the sound at the microphone, and the available monitoring controls help balance the live voice against playback where fitted. The recording resolution, controls and supplied desktop accessories are detailed below.

The physical format and supplied mounting accessories make the microphone easy to place within an appropriate setup. Keeping the source position and recording distance consistent helps produce an even take, whether the application is a lesson, a rehearsal, a vocal session or spoken content.
