Audio-Technica AT8022 X/Y Stereo Microphone
With two coincident capsules in one compact housing, the Audio-Technica AT8022 captures an X/Y stereo image. It is made for video camera-mount use, stereo field recording, interviews, and home recording, and its compact, lightweight design suits handheld digital recorders.
Two cables come with it, for professional or consumer gear. The 2.0 m (6.6 ft) balanced cable runs from the microphone’s 5-pin XLR output to two 3-pin XLR connectors, one for each channel. The 0.6 m (2.0 ft) unbalanced cable ends in a 3.5 mm TRS plug. A camera shoe mount adapter and the AT8405a stand clamp mount it on a camera or on any stand with 5/8″-27 threads.
Aim the grille end at the sound source with the printed stereo-image marking on the housing facing up, so left and right match the scene. Moving the AT8022 closer widens the stereo image and lowers room ambience, while moving it back narrows the image and brings in more room sound.
It runs on 11 to 52 V phantom power, drawing 2 mA in total for both channels, or on one 1.5 V AA battery. An alkaline battery typically lasts 700 hours. The battery switch must be on for battery power and has no effect on phantom power. Battery power is for connecting to an unbalanced input only, and the battery is not included. A switchable 80 Hz high-pass filter reduces low-frequency ambient noise, room reverberation, and mechanically coupled vibration.
