Audio-Technica AT2005USB Dynamic XLR / USB Microphone Review / Test

Today, I have the Audio-Technica AT2005USB microphone in the Audio Hotline Studio! This microphone has some amazing features... like the fact that it is not only a USB mic, but it is also and XLR mic! There are a ton of benefits to having a microphone capable of sending both a USB and XLR signal. I have tried out other mics like this in the pas such as the Audio-Technica ATR2100 and the Samson Q2U (reviews linked below).

Spoiler Alert: I liked the Q2U and ATR2100, so I had very high hopes for this mic that was listed at a little bit higher price. This could be a great podcaster mic, gamer mic, or even recording music demos... BUT be sure to check out the testing and audio samples and see if this is right for you! Every person has different expectations of audio gear. If the features are what you need, and you like the sound, then it is right for you!

Thanks for watching the Audio Hotline! I'll see you Audio Nerds next time!
