Final Thoughts…
I bought the ATR back in 2015 and it’s been a pretty good mic. I did, however, drop it once and it can break up and cause a little additional fuzz now. I’ve dropped my Shure SM58 a thousand times and never had an issue. But when building our new Podcast studio I decided to go with 2 of the Behringer mics. We plan on using these out in the wild and so far they’ve been really good. If one of those breaks it won’t break the bank. And when I need to record really high-quality audio for music I use a totally different type of mic we’ll get into in another post.
So in conclusion, I recommend both. If you want to plug directly into a computer without an audio interface then check out the ATR… but stay tuned next month as we will be checking out a very popular mic that could beat them both…
