I like USB/ XLR dynamic microphones. It gives the USB functionality for one to start with and the XLR output to extend and enhance the microphone quality via a USB audio interface. Because of this, it provides a better value than many USB only microphones around its price segment. The Samson Q2U and Audio-Technica AT2100 are two of the first such USB/ XLR microphone that’s been around for a long time. But here comes a new player in the USB/ XLR mic segment.
