Great Solution
Audio-Technica AT8022 X/Y Stereo Phantom and Battery Powered Field Microphone
Reviewed by Sam H. on B&H Photo Video
I am a professional videographer. This microphone is proving to be an excellent solution for video recording choral concerts. I always setup my camcorder at the back of the auditorium and need to set microphones much closer to the singers and in front of the audience as much as possible. I have routinely used wireless XLR clip-on transmitters on 2 microphones at the top of a tall microphone stand with a cross bar to hold the mics at 90-degrees to each other. That's an awkward amount of weight at the top of a skinny mic stand, and balancing the audio from both mics is always challenging. The AT8022 provides a much cleaner solution, with a single cable discreetly leading down the pole to near the base, where I connect the two transmitter modules to the right and left cable ends. In addition to being a cleaner setup, it gives me better access to the transmitter modules if I need to change batteries, turn them on/off, etc. The stereo separation is better than ever, and the microphone sensitivity seems to be nearly perfect for this application. ...

Sounds Great!

I bought the AT8022 mic for use with a Kodak Zi8 video camera to capture live recordings of acoustic fingerstyle guitar playing, because the audio quality of the built-in mic, as expected, is so-so. With my set-up, the audio quality of the playback is quite realistic, as if you were hearing it live. Very professional sounding results. I also love the versatility of the phantom or battery power. Only have one small negative about the mic, which is, the length of the cord with the 1/8 jack is only 2 feet in length. To get proper placement of the mic up close, and keeping the video camera at least 6 feet away, I had to buy an extension cable. Other than that, I am extremely pleased with my purchase. ... More
Very good Micro

I use this micro with my Sony Z5. The internal microphone of my camera is not persuasive. With the AT8022 i habe the feeling as the sun rises. Bright, clear, three-dimensional. Only the Bass feeling ist a little bit reluctant. But a very good purchase for this price. Hardly to exceed
Sharp sound, easy use, simple, simple, simple - the AT-8022

As someone who does a lot of field recordings (most years between 180-210 different recordings per year) having a rugged, simple, clear and sharp-sounding mike to take along is a must. For years I had sworn by the AudioTechnica At-825 - it met all of those requirements and more. Rugged (you should see what the mesh cashing looks like on some of them - but they chug right along!), simple, clear sound. When I found they had dropped the AT-825s from the product line, I wondered "what next?" Well, the AT-8022 is, if possible, even better - just did a major recording with it over two days, and it exceeded my wildest expectations. It is also reasonable for the price Yes, the Sennheisers and other similar high-end mikes do a fabulous job - but if you do field recording work, take the AT-8022 along. ... More
A very flexible workhorse

I have had this mic for over two years and have been very pleased with the results. I use it primarily for loud rock shows and it has not let me down. It captures a true sound--even at higher dBs--with nice stereo separation. I also love the fact that it supports both battery and phantom power, and provides XLR and 3.5mm output plugs. This is solidly-built mic that should last me--given decent care--for many years to come. It is worth every penny in my book.

Working great since 2005

Reviewed by dave on B&H Photo Video
I bought this about 2005 and it has worked great. The only complaint I have is the foam windscreen is now disentegrating into fine black dust. Always stored in a moisture free case indoors when not in use. If you need a sterio mic I recommend this one. Now I'm going to find another screen
