Thank you for buying the Audio-Technica ATR2100-USB cardioid dynamic USB/XLR microphone.
Equipped with both USB and an 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 ATR2100-USB offers high-quality articulation and intelligibility perfect for home studio recording,
field recording, podcasting, voiceover, 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 a 16-bit, 44.1/48 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.
