Audio Technica U857Q Cardioid Condenser Quick-Mount Gooseneck Microphone

The Audio Technica U857Q Cardioid Condenser Quick-Mount Gooseneck Microphone is a professional-grade microphone engineered for superior performance in fixed installation environments. Ideal for conference centres, boardrooms, courtrooms, houses of worship, and other installed sound applications, it is designed to plug directly into a cable, panel, or desk-mounted XLRF-type connector for a seamless and reliable setup.

Built for high-quality sound reinforcement, professional recording, and broadcasting, it delivers exceptional audio clarity. Its superior off-axis rejection provides maximum gain before feedback, ensuring clear audio even at high volumes. The integrated UniGuard® RFI-shielding technology offers outstanding rejection of radio frequency interference, guaranteeing a clean signal free from disruptive noise.

Featuring an easy-to-adjust, rugged, small-diameter alternating gooseneck with virtually no 'memory', it permits quick and precise positioning into the desired shape and holds it securely. The UniSteep® filter provides an 80Hz low-cut, reducing the pickup of low-frequency ambient noise like rumble and air conditioning to improve vocal clarity without affecting voice quality.

The self-contained electronics eliminate the need for an external power module, simplifying installation. A key feature is its ability to accept interchangeable microphone elements, allowing you to modify the angle of acceptance from 90° to 360° to suit different applications and polar patterns.

Included with the microphone is an AT8153 two-stage foam windscreen that yields dramatically improved resistance to P-pops and other breath blasts, and an AT8662 shock mount that effectively attenuates noise, shock, and vibration transmitted through the mounting surface.
