Dual-Output Dynamic Microphone

The Audio-Technica AT2005USB is a cardioid dynamic microphone equipped with both USB and XLR outputs. It connects directly to Mac or Windows computers for digital recording while also feeding a traditional XLR input for analogue workflows. High-quality 16-bit converters operate at 44.1 or 48 kHz to capture detailed audio. The extended frequency response ensures clarity for voice-focused applications.

Home Studio and Live Flexibility

This microphone suits podcasters, streamers and content creators who need a simple USB connection today and the option to plug into a mixer or interface tomorrow. The rugged handheld body withstands regular transport and stage use. Buyers who require a dedicated studio condenser with a fixed polar pattern or a purely USB device without analogue fallback should consider other models.

USB and XLR Simultaneous Connectivity

The defining specification is the ability to output USB digital audio and XLR analogue audio at the same time. This dual-path design lets you record to a computer while sending a clean signal to a live sound desk or external recorder. If your workflow only ever uses one connection type, a single-output microphone may be more cost-effective.
