Audio-Technica AT2022

AT2022 is a condenser microphone recommended for stereo recordings. Two unidirectional condenser capsules in an X/Y configuration allow recording at angles of 90 degrees (narrow) and 120 degrees (wide). The capsules can be rotated into a flat configuration for storage and transport. Designed for standard stereo recordings and ambient capture, the AT2022 provides a sense of space with the realism of a true acoustic field.

The microphone comes equipped with a clamp, AA battery, fluffy windscreen, and a 0.5m cable with a 3.5mm stereo jack termination.
