Audio-Technica introduces the AT8022 X/Y Stereo Microphone and the BP4025 X/Y Stereo Field Recording Microphone. Designed for broadcast and professional recording, these two new stereo condensers are perfect for use with professional audio and video equipment. Each offers an innovative coincident capsule configuration that allows for a smaller housing while producing a stereo image with the spatial impact and realism of a live sound field.

Both the AT8022 and the BP4025 are ruggedly constructed to protect against damage from day-to-day use during field recording. The microphones are also fully RoHS-compliant (free from all substances specified in the EU directive on the Reduction of Hazardous Substances). Each mic offers an 80 Hz high-pass filter for easy switching from a flat frequency response to a low-end roll-off. Each comes equipped with a professional stand clamp, a windscreen and a soft, protective pouch.

The versatile AT8022 X/Y Stereo Microphone is designed for easy use with either consumer or professional gear. The microphone operates on either a 1.5V AA battery or 11-52V DC phantom power and is supplied with two cables (one balanced, one unbalanced) for use with either pro equipment offering XLR inputs or with consumer gear equipped with 3.5 mm TRS input.

The BP4025 X/Y Stereo Field Recording Microphone, designed specifically for professional broadcast and recording applications, features large-diaphragm capsules offering pristine sound quality and exceptionally low noise. It operates on 11-52V DC phantom power only. The BP4025 has an integral 5-pin XLRM-type output and comes equipped with a stereo cable with two 3-pin XLRM-type connectors at the output end. In addition to a high-pass filter, the BP4025 offers a switchable 10 dB pad.

The AT8022 X/Y Stereo Microphone and the BP4025 X/Y Stereo Field Recording Microphone will be available October 2008 with pricing as follows : AT8022 $499.00 and BP4025 $749.00.
