Jimbo B.
Product Description
The ATRR2100x-USB is a versatile content creation microphone, designed for live performance, podcasts, and voiceover use.

The ATR2100x-USB also offers a high-quality analog-to-digital converter (24-bit, up to 192 kHz) for excellent fidelity, and a headphone jack with level control for direct monitoring from the microphone. Its cardioid polar pattern reduces pickup of unwanted sounds from the sides and rear. The mic includes an on/off switch and comes with two 2m (6.6') USB cables (USB-C to USB-C, USB-C to USB-A) and a 3 M (9. 8') xlrf-to-xlrm cable for maximum versatility. A sturdy tripod desk stand with folding legs is also included for use on tabletops.

What sets this microphone apart is its dual connectivity. With both USB-C digital output and XLR analog output, it provides flexibility that's hard to beat. While many competitors offer only mini-USB, this microphone goes the extra mile, offering the connectivity options I need for various recording scenarios. It's a simple but powerful feature that makes a world of difference.
The microphone itself delivers crisp, clear audio that's a joy to work with. And when paired with a windscreen and a pop filter (both sold separately), it transforms into a radio-quality microphone, capturing every nuance of your voice. Whether you're podcasting, recording voiceovers, or engaging in any content creation, this microphone truly shines.
The package comes with both XLR and USB-C cables, making setup a breeze, and the not so sturdy tripod desk stand with folding legs is a practical addition, albeit not very useful for my studio. It's easy to transport, if you were doing a mobile recording or voiceover job, it would work.
I have been particularly impressed by the sound quality. The cardioid polar pattern reduces unwanted sounds from the sides and rear, enhancing the isolation of the desired sound source.
Now, let's talk about the downsides. It would have been great if a windscreen was included in the package, as it's an essential accessory for minimizing plosives and improving audio quality. Additionally, the stand, while functional, could be more stable. It might wobble a bit, especially if you're working in a busy environment.
In summary, the Audio-Technica ATR2100x-USB Dynamic Microphone is a fantastic choice for anyone starting a podcast or diving into voiceovers. Its exceptional audio quality, dual connectivity, and ease of setup make it an ideal choice for beginners and a valuable tool for professionals. Just remember to invest in a windscreen, and you'll be well on your way to creating top-notch audio content. This microphone is a sound investment for anyone passionate about recording and podcasting.

I will say the one down side is that the mic stand it comes with is very, and I mean VERY, V E R Y cheaply made. The build of it is entirely made of plastic with loose and flimsy joints, so be prepared to upgrade to a more heavy duty stand at some point(which is what people should be doing in the first place instead of basing their initial review of this product on the quality of the stand alone lol, get good dummies). That being said, it's a very small and petty price to pay for a pro-sumer mic of spectacular quality. Pair this with a proper shock-mounted stand and BAM: pro audio in a pinch.
Overall, the mic is an absolute must for beginners and pros alike. The price point might be high, but Audio technica has always been a considerable "high end" brand on the pro-sumer market, compared to premiums like Senheiser or Sony, but still offers quality without significantly denting your budget.
ALSO, something to note for owners of the OG ATR 2100:
I've had experience in using the original 2100(the silver one) from a friend. The sound quality is the same and has the same harware with the exception of the mini usb port vs the 2100x's usb type c. I personally think the upgrade from the 2100 to the 2100x is not worth it, but at the same time there are some people who would look at the updated hardware as a plus.

Reviewed in India on February 25, 2023
Pros:
- good quality materials. At 150$, this is on the cheaper end of the semi pro options. The materials feel more than adequate and quite durable. I wouldn't treat this mic for daily use traveling shows, but for home use it's perfect.
- sound is crisp and clear. With no modifications, the sound profile is quite flat, but very crisp. If you use garage band, or whatever software you have available, add a bit of low end and it will nice and robust.
- pops aren't too bad, but would consider getting some sort of pop filter or foam covering
Cons
- the worst thing about this mic is the sound transfer from the body. Do not use this thing handheld, it pics up everything. Keep it on the stand or get a boom.
- sticking to sound transfer, if you have it on the stand, refrain from using your keyboard or moving your mouse around. Again, it can get picked up pretty easily
Overall, if you stay within its capabilities and control your environment, this is a great piece of kit. I've been very happy with it and would definitely recommend this for podcasting or video conferencing!
