ATR2500-USB Cadioid Condenseer USB Microphone

I'm experimenting with some ideas for a couple of different types of podcasts that I'm considering developing...and picked-up an ATR2500-USB condenser microphone tonight at a local Frys Electronics 



  • Side-address condenser microphone with USB output for easy connection to your computer
  • Ideal for podcasting, home studio recording, field recording, and voiceover use
  • Built-in headphone jack allows you to directly monitor from your microphone
  • Adjust headphone volume with easy-to-use controls on the front of the microphone
  • High-quality AD convertor with 16 bit, 44.1/48 kHz sampling rate
  • Compatible with Windows and Mac
  • Low-mass diaphragm provides excellent frequency response
  • Cardioid polar pattern reduces pickup of unwanted sounds from the sides and rear, improving isolation of desired sound source
  • Low self-noise ? ideally suited for digital recording equipment
  • Pivoting, threaded stand mount attaches securely to the supplied tripod or to a conventional microphone stand
  • Tripod desk stand with folding legs for secure and easily portable tabletop use
  • Durable metal construction for long-lasting performance USB cable include

  • 50.0 mm (1.97") maximum body diameter

  • HEADPHONE OUTPUT POWER: 10 mW @ 16 ohms
  • HEADPHONE JACK: 3.5 mm TRS (stereo)

Or, these may be better options to consider:

For studio recording software, at least Initially, I'm experimenting with Audacity 2.1.1
