Audio-Technica U853PMW Cardioid Condenser Hanging Microphone, White

The Audio-Technica U853PMW Cardioid Condenser Hanging Microphone in white is a professional-grade, phantom-powered microphone designed for permanent installations. Ideal for choirs, instrumental groups, and theater stages, this microphone offers exceptional sound quality and performance. Featuring UniGuard RFI-shielding technology and a low-profile design, the U853PMW easily blends into various settings while delivering superior off-axis rejection for maximum gain before feedback.

The microphone is equipped with a wall/ceiling plate power module, allowing for seamless integration into standard metal U.S. single gang electrical boxes, making it perfect for fixed installations. With an interchangeable element system, the U853PMW can adapt to cardioid, hypercardioid, omnidirectional, and UniLine line cardioid polar patterns, providing maximum flexibility. Additionally, an 80 Hz low-cut UniSteep filter reduces low-frequency ambient noise without affecting vocal clarity, ensuring top-notch audio reproduction.
