Audio-Technica U853A

Maintaining the Audio-Technica tradition of clear and transparent sound quality, the U853A cardioid condenser hanging microphone is ideal for speech, theater, orchestra and choir sound reinforcement and recording. The microphoneâ€™s fast transient response and low distortion characteristics allow every complex detail to be heard with all its impactâ€”rich, vibrant qualities faithfully reproduced. Equipped with UniGuardâ„¢ innovations that offer unsurpassed immunity from radio frequency interference, the U853A accepts interchangeable elements, available in cardioid, hypercardioid, omnidirectional and UniLineâ„¢ line cardioid polar patterns. The battery- or phantom-powered microphone also offers an 80 Hz low-cut UniSteepÂ® filter that reduces pickup of low-frequency ambient noise.
