Audio-Technica AT4022 End-address omnidirectional condenser microphone
Product Overview
The Audio-Technica AT4022 is an end-address omnidirectional condenser microphone from the 40 Series, built for natural, accurate capture of acoustic instruments, ensembles, and room ambience. Its extended, flat response and omnidirectional pattern make it a dependable omnidirectional condenser microphone for broadcast studios, auditoriums, and houses of worship. A switchable 80 Hz high-pass filter and 10 dB pad let engineers adapt it to a wide range of sources and levels.
Product Description
The AT4022 is designed for transparent reproduction, which suits acoustic guitar, piano, strings, overheads, and ambient room miking in recording and reinforcement. As an omnidirectional condenser microphone, it captures a natural, open sound with consistent off-axis response.
A switchable 10 dB pad lowers sensitivity for high-SPL sources, raising the microphone's maximum sound level capability, while the integral 80 Hz high-pass filter switches from flat response to a low-end roll-off to control rumble and proximity buildup. The pencil form factor mounts easily on stands and overhead arrays.
For facilities that pair instrument and vocal capture, the dual-element AE2500 instrument microphone and the AE5400 handheld condenser complement the AT4022 for commercial AV recording and broadcast use. The AT4022 requires phantom power from your mixer, interface, or DSP.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the AT4022 best used for?
It excels at natural capture of acoustic instruments, ensembles, overheads, and room ambience, where an accurate omnidirectional response is preferred over a directional pattern.
Does it require phantom power?
Yes. As a condenser microphone, the AT4022 needs phantom power (48V) from your mixer, audio interface, or DSP input.
When should I use the 10 dB pad?
Engage the pad for high-SPL sources to avoid overloading the input; it raises the maximum sound level the microphone can handle to 156 dB SPL.
Why choose omnidirectional instead of cardioid?
Omnidirectional microphones offer a natural, open sound and consistent off-axis response, ideal for room and ensemble capture; cardioids are better when you need to reject off-axis sound and control feedback.
How does it integrate into our AV system?
It connects on standard 3-pin XLR to a phantom-powered channel on your mixer or DSP, like any professional condenser microphone.
