Your AT2022 mic is supplied with what looks like a standard xlr mic connector to a 1/8" stereo connector, presumably for use with a camcorder stereo mic input. Can I add a 50' lo-z standard mic cable to use the mic remotely from my camcorder?

I actually use this mic along with a Canon HD camcorder with a 1/8" trs input and a 50 foot standard XLR cable for extension. Here is what I found related to EMI (and note, it took awhile to troubleshoot this issue).If I plug the mic into a 50 foot XLR cable, then to the XLR-to-1/8" trs adapter, and into the camera, AND run the camera solely on battery without the AC power adapter AND without connecting to an external monitor, I can run 50 feet without EMI issues.
However, if I make any connections to any plug that is separately powered--be it the included AC adapter, or an HDMI monitor (with its own power source)--then I get noticeable EMI in the audio. Plugging in headphones is fine because they do not have a power source.

Thank you for your inquiry. I probably would not extend this to 50 feet. This is an unbalanced connection and you will probably pick up EMI noise. You can try it, but my guess is it would be noisy.Age:Â 45-54

I came upon this microphone online. How well will it work for video use? I have a Pentax K 01 and want something better than the internal mic. It does have a 1/8" external mic jack but I do not know if the 2022 has enough output to work.

I use this for video use on a Canon HD camcorder with a 1/8" trs input. The sound is fantastic: good signal strength, smooth frequency response, impressive lows, crystal clear high's, and no noticeable peaks or dips. I use it to record full spectrum audio e.g. symphony and opera.Note the included cable is very short, and you may be able to put a very short (e.g. 3-6 foot) high quality XLR cable if you need a bit of extension. But if you want to run a longer XLR distance, you may notice EMI noise. I ran into this problem and found my only solution was to run my camera from battery and without an external video monitor. I think the contrasting power sources induce the noise into my camera with this microphone.

Thank you for your inquiry. Your camera will need a 3.5mm stereo, "microphone level" input to work with this microphone.Age:Â 45-54

This seems like it might be nice mic for a closed lid piano, but does it really only terminate in a 3.5mm stereo plug?

My camcorder has two xlr, three prong inputs. Can I use an xrl cable that supports stereo that is only 6 inches or a foot lont with this mic?

Answer:Â
WARNING: The AT2022 is designed for battery operation only. Do NOT attempt to use when Phantom Power is present as this will permanently damage the microphone and void the warranty.Generally speaking, the operation that you wish to attempt is NOT possible unless you have the correct adapter cable. The Pro Co YMXF2XM1 MIGHT work. Again, it MIGHT work. You would need to contact Pro Co to make sure this cable works as a stereo split, and not a mono split. Additionally, as stated above, sending phantom power to the AT2022 will permanently damage it and void the warranty.
