U853RW Audio-Technica | Audio-Technica

Cardioid Condenser Hanging Microphone

U853RW

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°

Low-profile design with low-reflectance finish for minimum visibility

Available in two colors: black (U853R) and white (U853RW)

The white-finished version of U853R, the U853RW cardioid condenser hanging microphone is equipped with UniGuard™ innovations that offer unsurpassed immunity from radio frequency interference. The phantom-powered microphone accepts interchangeable elements, available in cardioid, hypercardioid, omnidirectional and UniLine™ line cardioid polar patterns. The U853RW also offers an 80 Hz low-cut UniSteep® filter that reduces pickup of low-frequency ambient noise.
