Description
The AT2022 is a condenser microphone designed for stereo recording. 
Two unidirectional condenser capsules in an X/Y configuration pivot 
to allow for 90° (narrow) or 120° (wide) stereo operation for extremely 
versatile pickup. The capsules also fold flat for storage and transportation. 
It is designed for general stereo recording and field sound capture.  
 
The microphone requires a 1.5V AA battery for operation. 
 
The microphone includes a 0.5 m (1.6') cable terminating in a 3-pin  
XLRF-type connector and a 3.5 mm (
1
/
8
") TRS connector. The output of 
the microphone is a 3-pin XLRM-type connector.
 
A switch permits choice of off, on/flat response or on/low-roll-off  
(via integral high-pass filter) to help control undesired ambient noise. 
The microphone is enclosed in a rugged housing. The included AT8405a 
stand clamp permits mounting on any microphone stand with 
5
/
8
"-27 
threads. A fuzzy windscreen, a battery and a soft protective pouch are 
also included.
Operation and Maintenance
The AT2022 is designed for battery operation only; install the battery 
before attempting use. 
WARNING:
 Do not attempt to use when
phantom power is present. Possible damage to the microphone
may result. (Please note, however, that the presence of a bias
voltage – from a portable recording device, for example – is acceptable 
and will not harm the microphone.) 
 
Battery installation: Unscrew the lower section of the microphone body 
to reveal the battery compartment. Insert a fresh 1.5V AA battery in the 
handle compartment (“+” end up), then reassemble the microphone. 
Alkaline batteries are recommended for longest life. Remove the battery 
during long-term storage.
 
Output for each stereo channel is low impedance (Lo-Z) unbalanced. The 
unbalanced signals appear across Pin 2 for the left channel and Pin 3 for 
the right channel. Pin 1 is ground (shield) for both channels. Output is  
“Pins 2 and 3 hot” – positive acoustic pressure produces positive voltage 
at Pins 2 and 3.
 
For correct left-right stereo orientation, position the microphone so the 
word “UP” is facing the ceiling. Locating the microphone nearer the 
sound source enhances the apparent width of the stereo image, while 
decreasing room ambience. Moving away from the sound source will 
result in a narrower stereo image and more room sound.
 
There are 90° and 120° indicators on the bottom side of the microphone 
pivot. To select 90° (narrow) X/Y operation, rotate each element to align  
the mark on the pivoting element’s base with the 90° notched indicator.  
To select 120° (wide) X/Y operation, rotate each element to align the 
mark on the pivoting element’s base with the 120° notched indicator.  
For travel and storage, fold each element flat, perpendicular to the handle.
 
An integral 150 Hz low-cut filter provides easy switching from a flat 
frequency response to a low-end roll-off. The roll-off position reduces 
the pickup of low-frequency ambient noise (such as traffic, air-handling 
systems, etc.), room reverberation and mechanically coupled vibrations. 
To engage the low-cut filter, slide the switch toward L- CUT. For a flat 
frequency response, slide the switch toward FLAT.  
Turn the microphone on by selecting either the L- CUT or FLAT setting.
Turn the microphone off when not in use.
 
Avoid leaving the microphone in the open sun or in areas where 
temperatures exceed 110° F (43° C) for extended periods. Extremely  
high humidity should also be avoided.
Architect’s and Engineer’s Specifications
The microphone shall be a fixed-charge stereo condenser. It shall have 
a frequency response of 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz and two unidirectional 
condenser capsules in an X/ Y configuration that pivot to allow for 90° 
or 120° stereo operation. The capsules shall also fold flat for storage 
and transportation. The microphone shall operate from a 1.5V AA/ 
UM3 battery. It shall be capable of handling sound input levels up to 
122 dB with a dynamic range of 103 dB. Nominal open-circuit output 
voltage shall be 8.9 mV at 1V, 1 Pascal. Output shall be low impedance 
balanced (200 ohms).
 
The output of the microphone shall be a 3-pin XLRM-type connector.  
A 0.5 m (1.6') cable with a 3-pin XLRF- type connector and 3.5 mm (
1
/
8
") 
TRS connector shall be included. The microphone shall include a switch 
that permits choice of off, on/flat response or on/low-roll-off (150 Hz). 
The microphone shall be 192.0 mm (7.56") long and have a maximum
