Audio-Technica AT4022 Omnidirectional Condenser Microphone

The Audio-Technica AT4022 Omnidirectional Condenser Microphone provides professional-grade audio capture for critical studio and live recording environments. This low-profile microphone serves as an ideal solution for piano, acoustic guitar, and other acoustic instruments. It combines a wide dynamic range with a flat, extended frequency response to deliver precise audio reproduction across various applications.

Professional Acoustic Reproduction

Omnidirectional Polar Pattern

The AT4022 utilizes an omnidirectional polar pattern to provide maximum ambient pickup. This design preserves the natural sound of the recording location and ensures a flat response. The omnidirectional characteristics also eliminate proximity effect, allowing for consistent sound quality regardless of distance from the source.

Transient Response and Noise Reduction

A low-mass diaphragm improves transient response, capturing sharp acoustic peaks with accuracy. This low-mass element also reduces the transfer of mechanical and handling noise. The microphone features low self-noise, making it perfectly suited for use with high-resolution digital recording equipment.

Versatile Control and Construction

Signal Management

The Audio-Technica AT4022 includes integrated controls to manage different acoustic environments. A switchable 80 Hz high-pass filter helps eliminate low-frequency room noise, while a 10 dB pad allows the microphone to handle high sound pressure levels (SPLs) without distortion. These features ensure exceptional reproduction of low-frequency sounds even in challenging settings.

Durability and Applications

Built with rugged construction, the AT4022 withstands the demands of both studio sessions and live performances. Its high SPL handling and wide dynamic range make it a versatile tool for capturing a broad variety of acoustic sources with clarity and detail.
