Audio-Technica AT4022 Omni Condenser Microphone

The versatile and low-profile AT4022 from Audio-Technica is a condenser recording microphone that sports a rugged, heavy-duty construction and consistently delivers outstanding performances—particularly notable for its faithful reproduction of low-frequency sounds. Ideal for studio recording and live performance applications where high sound quality is critical, the AT4022 is great for miking acoustic instruments such as guitar, piano, and much more.

The AT4022’s low-mass diaphragm improves transient response and reduces self-noise from handling or mechanical noise transfer—making it a great choice for use in a setup of digital recording equipment. Its omnidirectional polar pattern precision-captures and preserves the ambient sound of the recording location while delivering flat, extended frequency response. The mic also has a wide dynamic range that enables it to easily handle high sound pressure levels (133 dB, 1 kHz at Max SPL), and free it from proximity effect. AT4022 also features a switchable 80 Hz hi-pass filter and 10 dB pad.
