Hello,
I recently purchased the Audio-Technica AT822 Stereo microphone.
And I want to connect this microphone to Zoom F3 recorder.
This microphone provides a 3-pin XLRF to unbalanced 3.5 mm stereo mini plug and a 3-pin XLRF to two unbalanced 1/4" phone plug.
I wonder what cable or adapter I need to connect this microphone to Zoom F3 recorder.
Your input would be appreciated. :)

This should do the trick.

This into the mic, then connect 2 standard XLR cables to your recorder.

Isn't the AT822 3-pin XLR at the mic? So the Cable Techniques cable won't work since it's 5-pin.

The soundpro cable should work. Just make sure to pick "wired for stereo microphones" under wiring options.

Yes the mic's output is unbalanced so it's 3 pin.
OP, you can go the Sound Pros route (with whom I've had nothing but good experiences) or you can buy a regular XLR cable of your choice and get a breakout cable like this:

Nevermind, I think the cable I linked is dual mono. Sound Pros is the way to go.

Thanks for all the replies. It helped a lot. ;D

Yeah, sorry. I was thinking about the AT825.

OP make sure that phantom power is off on your deck or you will roast that mic

Of course. thank you. :)
