📢 Update: Audio-Technica replaced the ATR2100 with the ATR2100x-USB. It’s essentially the same mic but with USB-C and higher quality analog/digital conversion.
The Audio-Technica ATR2100-USB is a great entry-level podcast microphone that will give you professional-quality sound.
The best feature about this microphone (besides the sound quality) is that it has both USB and XLR outputs so you can plug directly into your computer (via USB) or plug into a mixer (via XLR).
