Audio-Technica U853R Cardioid Condenser Hanging Microphone

The Audio-Technica U853R Cardioid Condenser Hanging Microphone is the ideal audio solution for scenarios necessitating superior sound reinforcement and recording capabilities. Perfectly designed for speech, theater, orchestra, and choir applications, this high-quality microphone embodies innovation with its UniGuard technology, offering exceptional immunity to radio frequency interference. Its cardioid polar pattern ensures a consistent and natural sound capture from any angle, alongside superior gain before feedback. Phantom powered with an integral 80 Hz low-cut UniSteep filter, it effectively minimizes low-frequency ambient noise, optimizing sound clarity and quality. The microphone also supports interchangeable elements, accommodating various polar patterns including cardioid, hypercardioid, omnidirectional, and UniLine line cardioid.

Key Features

• Designed for suspension over choirs, instrumental groups, and theater stages
• Superior off-axis rejection for maximum gain before feedback
• UniGuard RFI-shielding technology offers outstanding rejection of radio frequency interference (RFI)
• UniSteep filter provides a steep low-frequency attenuation to improve sound pickup without affecting voice quality
• Accepts interchangeable elements to permit angle of acceptance from 90 to 360 degrees
• Low-profile design with low-reflectance finish for minimal visibility
