The Audio‑Technica ATR2500X‑USB is a versatile, easy‑to‑use condenser USB microphone designed for podcasting, home‑studio recording, voice‑overs, streaming, field recording, and other digital audio tasks. Its large‑diaphragm, side‑address condenser captures a rich, full sound with a smooth frequency balance — ideal for vocals, narration, acoustic instruments, and general content creation.
With a cardioid pickup pattern, the ATR2500X‑USB focuses on your chosen sound source while rejecting ambient noise from the sides and rear — helping you get clean, isolated recordings even in less‑than‑ideal acoustic environments. The built‑in high‑quality A/D converter supports up to 24‑bit / 192 kHz recording, giving you professional‑grade fidelity straight into your computer without needing external interfaces.
For convenience and real‑time monitoring, the microphone includes a 3.5 mm headphone output with independent volume control, letting you listen without latency while recording. The package also includes two USB cables (USB‑C to USB‑C, USB‑C to USB‑A), a pivoting stand mount, and a tripod desk stand — so you can set up and start recording immediately.
