The AT2022 is a condenser microphone designed for stereo recording. Two
unidirectional condenser capsules in an X/Y configuration pivot to allow
for narrow (90°) or wide (120°) stereo operation. The capsules also
fold flat for storage and transportation. Designed for general stereo
recording and field sound capture, the AT2022 provides the spatial
impact and realism of a live sound field. The microphone comes equipped
with a stand clamp, AA battery, fuzzy windscreen and .5 m cable that
terminates in a 3.5 mm stereo plug.
carrying case.
The four included MB 5k cardioid dynamic snare/tom microphones and one
MB 6k cardioid dynamic kick microphone feature low-profile design for
minimum visibility and versatile placement options around the drum kit.
With a condenser design and extended frequency response perfect for
overheads and hi-hat, the MB 4k features versatile battery/phantom
operation, rugged all-metal construction, soft-touch finish, gold-plated
XLRM-type connector, and an on/off switch. Its cardioid polar pattern
minimizes feedback. High volumes come through without distortion; even
subtle nuances are clean and precise.
