Compact audio adapter for 3.5 mm headsets

The Audio-Technica ATR2XUSB converts a 3.5 mm analog headset connection to a digital USB-C interface. It is built for users who need a simple way to plug a microphone and headphones into a computer or mobile device without installing drivers. The adapter suits podcasters, remote workers and gamers who want a portable, plug-and-play audio upgrade.

Silent operation with bus-powered design

The adapter draws power directly from the USB port and has no moving parts, so it runs completely silent. It adds no audible fan noise or coil whine to a recording environment. The integrated plug-in power supplies condenser microphones that require it, eliminating the need for an external power source. Power consumption stays low enough for standard USB ports.

On-cable controls replace software mixing

A hardware mute switch and volume dial sit on the cable for immediate adjustments during calls or streams. These tactile controls work independently of operating-system settings, so levels stay consistent across applications. The dual 3.5 mm jacks separate microphone input from headphone output, removing the need for a separate splitter cable.

Questions about this item

How do I connect the ATR2XUSB adapter to my computer and microphone?

Plug the USB-C end into your computer and the 3.5 mm microphone plug into the pink jack on the adapter; no drivers are required.

What maintenance does the ATR2XUSB adapter need over time?

Keep the 3.5 mm jacks and USB-C port free of dust and avoid bending the cable sharply near the connectors.

What limits recording quality during long sessions with the ATR2XUSB?

The adapter draws power from the USB port, so extended use depends on the host device maintaining a stable power supply.
