5 reviews for Audio-Technica ATR2500-USB

  1. Clark Coween

    I needed a good quality but inexpensive cardioid microphone because I run online courses at my own school, and create instructional videos for my YouTube channel. I like this microphone. It is a great basic / budget class cardioid microphone for those who perform castings. There are no gain settings, only the on / off button. I could easily connect it to the scissor stand. The great thing about this microphone is that it is a combined USB / analog output device, so you can connect it to a mixer or a computer. If you are looking for your first microphone for online or YouTube courses, I strongly recommend this microphone instead of Blue Snowball iCE.

    I am Verity Bell, an aspiring singer, and content creator who has recently purchased the Audio-Technica ATR2500-USB Microphone through a reputable online platform. This investment was prompted by my friend Jordan Lyons’ recommendation – he is an accomplished music producer with years of experience in the field.

    Upon receiving the package, I must say that my initial impression was nothing short of delightful; it exceeded all expectations set due to positive reviews I came across while researching different microphones for vocalists like myself. The sturdy construction and sleek design are visually appealing but also serve a purpose by ensuring durability during professional use.

    The Audio-Technica ATR2500-USB stands out in terms of both audio quality and versatility. Its condenser capsule delivers crisp sound output suitable for recording high-quality music, podcasts or voiceovers – perfect for amateur enthusiasts like myself as well as professionals who demand excellent audio performance.

    One aspect that sets this microphone apart is its dual functionality. The ATR2500-USB operates seamlessly with USB connections on computers and digital recorders while still offering the option of XLR connectivity. This feature allows users to plug directly into their mixer or audio interface in a studio setting, making it ideal for both amateur and professional use.

    Moreover, the built-in headphone jack provides real-time monitoring capability, ensuring optimal sound control during recording sessions. Additionally, the ATR2500-USB comes bundled with Audio-Technica’s industry-standard ATH-M20x monitor headphones which provide clear and accurate audio playback.

    In conclusion, my experience with the Audio-Technica ATR2500-USB has been nothing short of satisfying.

How do I ensure optimal performance when using the Audio-Technica ATR2500-USB microphone for voice recordings?

Use a pop filter or place your mouth far enough away from the microphone to prevent plosive sounds (such as "p" and "b") from causing distortion. Ensure that the microphone is positioned at the right distance and angle. The optimal position for voice recordings is about 6 inches (15 cm) from your mouth, with the microphone's capsule pointed slightly upward. Use a stable surface to mount the microphone, such as a desk or tripod stand, to reduce vibration-induced noise. Adjust the microphone's gain level to ensure that you are not overloading the input signal, which can cause distortion and clipping. If possible, use an external audio interface for additional control over gain levels. Choose a suitable recording environment with minimal background noise, such as a quiet room or a dedicated recording studio. Use software-based noise reduction tools to eliminate unwanted background noise during post-production editing. Test the microphone's sensitivity and frequency response by recording a range of voice levels, from whispered to shouted. This will help you fine-tune your settings for optimal performance. Regularly clean the microphone's diaphragm with a soft cloth to prevent dust and dirt buildup that can affect sound quality.
