Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Can this output audio to the USB and XLR simultaneously?

A: This mic can pass audio through the XLR and USB at the same time.

Q: 2. How long is the included 5 pin to 3 pin XLR cable?

A: The AT8022 XY stereo microphone includes a 6.5 foot long (2 meters) 5-Pin XLR to dual 3-Pin XLR Cable.

Q: 3. I bought this mic assuming that XY configurations were always at 90 or 120 degrees. But this seems to be 180 degrees (mics pointing completely sideways). I want to record rock and jazz concerts - is this the best mic configuration for my use?

A: The Audio-Technica AT8022 uses a coincident capsule configuration in order to produce and X/Y stereo image in a small housing. This mic is great for recording live music. The key is distance and a good focal point. The X-Y technique offers little to no benefit if you're too close to the source. Experiment different distances; and this all varies from venue to venue.

Q: 4. Why does the product description say "dynamic", when it is clearly a condenser mic?

A: The product description is accurate and the ATR2100x-USB is a dynamic microphone, not a condenser microphone. The microphone's element (also called a mic capsule) which converts audio to an electronic signal is dynamic and does not require any voltage to operate. Condenser microphones do require voltage to function. What may be confusing you is the built-in USB audio interface which converts the analog signal to a digital signal and does require 5V DC which is supplied by the computer's USB port. The ATR2100x-USB offers both analog output via XLR and digital output via USB, but the actual mic element used to initially convert audio to an electronic signal, that is dynamic. Please see the manufacturer's specifications on page 16 of the user manual for further details and verification: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/lit_files/593253.pdf

Q: 5. Does the 1/8" connection also provide phantom power? Or is it only through the XLR cable?

A: When using the Audio-Technica AT8022 X/Y Stereo Phantom and Battery Powered Field Microphone with its XLR to 3.5mm TRS output cable, the microphone will not receive phantom power from the corresponding 3.5mm input connection. When used with this connection the AT8022 should be powered from its AA battery compartment.

Q: 6. Will it run through irig android interface?

A: This mic will run throught an iRig, using the analog audio XLR connection.

Q: 7. Can I use my Zoom F3 to supply phantom power to the AT8022?

A: Yes the Zoom F3 has phantom power.

Q: 8. Is there a gain feature on this microphone?

A: The ATR2100x-USB mic does not have a physical switch for gain control, but you can control the input gain level for the microphone on your computer. Instructions are included in the user manual for setup with both Mac and Windows operating systems. Here is a link: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/lit_files/593253.pdf
