Audio Technica U857Q Cardioid Condenser Quick-Mount Gooseneck Microphone

Audio Technica U857Q Cardioid Condenser Quick-Mount Gooseneck Microphone is a professional-grade cardioid condenser microphone designed for fixed installation environments. Its quick-mount XLRF-type connector plugs directly into a cable, panel, or desk-mounted connector for a straightforward setup.

Overview

The microphone is suited to installed sound applications, including conference centres, boardrooms, courtrooms, houses of worship, and other fixed installations. It is also intended for sound reinforcement, professional recording, and broadcasting. Its off-axis rejection provides maximum gain before feedback, helping to maintain clear audio at high volumes.

• UniSteep filter providing an 80 Hz low-cut to reduce low-frequency ambient noise such as rumble and air conditioning noise
• Small-diameter alternating gooseneck with virtually no memory for quick, precise positioning
• Self-contained electronics, so no external power module is required
• Interchangeable microphone elements that allow the angle of acceptance to be changed from 90° to 360°
• Included AT8153 two-stage foam windscreen
• Included AT8662 shock mount
