    5 Stars
    Best microphone I've ever had. Very pleased.
    Bought a $10 stand set that came with a scissor arm stand, pop filter, and shock mount to fit this. Very good deal. The mic came a week late because it was shipped to Amazon first so it could be inspected and repackaged WITH the stand. Makes it much neater to ship it with the stand. First audio test was in hand, with raw sound. I am very pleased with the quality. I waited many months to have the opportunity to purchase this product and I couldn't be happier.One and only thing that I do not like about the Audio Technica ATR2100 is that it doesn't fit it many shock mounts. Though I found a way through this.For other people who want to use a shock mount instead of the original holder, here's a simple guide:1. Heat up the stand by putting it beside an open oven or leave it outside in the hot weather. Grab some everyday scissors and slowly but surely cut across the stand holder from the tripod connector.2. Make sure that you leave enough for the stand to have a little hook above the hole that is about in the middle of the holder to prevent it from slipping through the shock mount.3. Slip the stand holder in the shock mount, facing the little hook to the shock mount's hole where it separates for larger mics.Now you have a no longer useless shock mount! The stand fits pretty well and doesn't come out easily. Smaller shock mounts that do fit the mic easily are usually harder to find and more expensive. So this is an easier way to fit it in shock mounts.Thank you for giving me the opportunity to buy this wonderful product. Will strongly suggest to others looking for mics.

    Reviewed in Mexico on August 13, 2019
    El producto me gustó tanto que acabo de pedir un segundo micrófono para poder grabar mis podcast con dos participantes. La calidad del audio es excelente. La voz se escucha muy clara y con buena presencia. En comparación con el micrófono AT2020 graba el sonido un poco más brilloso, mientras que el AT2020 en más cálido con bajos más profundos.

    El material del micrófono se siente de un aluminio robusto y resistente y tiene buen peso.

    Me parece que el ART2500 es ideal para grabaciones de podcast porque lo puedes conectar muy rápido mediante usb sin la necesidad de una interfaz de audio. Mientras que el AT2020 me parece más útil para grabación de canto en estudio.

    Yo lo uso en mi macbook pro 2017 y con logic pro 10.4.5. El dispositivo se detecta al instante. Pero como no se conecta a una interfaz de audio, debes regular el gain desde las opciones de sonido del sistema. Los botones de volumen del micrófono me parece que son para ajustar los monitores, pues tienen una conexión directa para audífonos.

    Lo único no tan bueno es la base que incluye, pues es de plástico y se siente algo frágil. De momento me ha funcionado bien, pero al transportarla hay que tener cuidado de no lastimarla.

    Si tu intención es utilizar este micrófono para tu podcast te lo recomiendo 100%.
