Audio-Technica U853R Cardioid Condenser Hanging Microphone with UniGuard

The Audio-Technica U853R is a professional-grade cardioid condenser hanging microphone engineered for superior speech, theatre, orchestra, and choir sound reinforcement and recording. Its consistent cardioid polar pattern delivers natural, clear sound from any angle, providing exceptional gain before feedback for reliable performance in challenging acoustic environments.

Equipped with innovative UniGuard® technology, the microphone offers unsurpassed immunity from radio frequency interference (RFI), ensuring a clean, noise-free signal. The integrated UniSteep® filter provides an 80Hz low-cut, effectively reducing pickup of low-frequency ambient noise such as air conditioning rumble or stage vibrations, thereby improving vocal clarity and overall sound quality.

Designed for discreet suspension over choirs, instrumental groups, and theatre stages, its low-profile design features a low-reflectance finish for minimum visibility. The microphone operates on standard phantom power (11-52V DC) and accepts a range of interchangeable elements, allowing the angle of acceptance to be configured from 90° to 360° to suit diverse recording setups.
