I have an AT 2022 stereo xy mic that I've been using to record my double bass for a series of instructional videos I've been creating for the university where I teach (will link an example below). I like the mic because it's a decent sounding pair of small diaphragm condensers with a built in preamp that terminates in a 1/8" stereo plug that can connect straight into the camera. Because it's such a convenient mic to use, it would be nice to use it for other applications as well, but that would require having a cable that terminates into two separate XLR ends that could plug into my interface. The mic is wired so that you can use a regular XLR cable as an extension to transmit the stereo signal to the short adapter that turns in into the 1/8" connection. My first question is, can I purchase a cable to turn that stereo XLR out into L and R mono xld outs? And if so, where could I find that cable?

Second, if i manage to procure a cable for this, how would I handle the phantom power issue when going into my recording interface (which has switchable phantom power)?
I realize there are more expensive/high-falutin' ways to record the bass, but this mic does pretty much everything I want and I'd like to use it for other things besides video. (example of mic sound below) Any and all help appreciated!
