Audio-Technica U859QL Gooseneck Condenser Microphone

The Audio-Technica U859QL Gooseneck Condenser Microphone is a phantom-powered condenser microphone with a fixed cardioid element, designed for sound reinforcement, professional recording and broadcasting.

It plugs directly into a panel or desk-mounted XLRF-type connector and features an ultra-flexible, rugged small-diameter gooseneck that can be quickly shaped into the desired position. The fixed cardioid element offers off-axis rejection, helping to provide maximum gain before feedback in challenging audio environments.

Equipped with self-contained electronics, the microphone does not require an external power module. It includes an 80 Hz low-cut UniSteep filter that provides steep low-frequency attenuation, reducing the pickup of ambient noise and room rumble without affecting voice clarity. It is suited to conference systems, lecterns, broadcasting studios and professional recording setups where clean audio capture is critical.
