Description
Audio-Technica AT8022 Stereo X/Y Microphone is a compact stereo condenser microphone designed for video production, field recording, interviews, and home recording. Featuring an innovative X/Y capsule configuration, this stereo microphone produces an accurate stereo image while maintaining a small, lightweight form factor ideal for camera-mounted use.
The AT8022 stereo microphone delivers natural stereo sound capture for handheld digital recorders, video cameras, and professional audio systems. Its coincident capsule design preserves spatial accuracy, making it suitable for live sound environments, ambient recording, and broadcast applications.
For maximum flexibility, the microphone operates on either internal battery power or phantom power, allowing use with both consumer and professional equipment. A switchable low-frequency roll-off helps reduce unwanted rumble and handling noise.
The microphone includes both balanced XLR and unbalanced 3.5 mm TRS cables, enabling seamless connection to mixers, recorders, cameras, and portable devices. RoHS-compliant construction ensures it is free from hazardous substances specified in EU directives.
