Description

This stereo microphone features a unique coincident capsule configuration for accurate stereo imaging in a compact body. Designed specifically for outdoor stereo recording, interviews, and private recordings, the compact and lightweight AT8022 is equally suitable as a handheld microphone, or mounted on a boom pole or camera.

With its choice of balanced or unbalanced outputs, the AT8022 is extremely versatile and suitable for all stereo recording, ambient sound recording, and interview applications. In balanced mode, the Y-cable has two XLR connectors that allow for phantom power. Unbalanced mode requires an AA battery and a 3.5mm mini-jack output connector, providing the most professional broadcast microphone for use with cameras, MP3 recorders, or MiniDisc players.
