Audio-Technica UniLine U857QU Cardioid Condenser Gooseneck Microphone - 19"

Featuring Audio-Technica's UniLine™ line-cardioid element with a tightly focused 90° acceptance angle, the U857QU quick-mount gooseneck condenser microphone is designed to plug directly into a panel- or desk-mounted XLRF-type connector.

Its ultra-flexible, robust gooseneck permits easy adjustment into desired shape while resisting inadvertent repositioning. Featuring UniGuard® innovations that offer unsurpassed immunity from radio frequency interference, the U857QU accepts interchangeable elements, available in cardioid, hypercardioid, omnidirectional and UniLine™ line cardioid polar patterns. The phantom-powered microphone also offers an 80 Hz low-cut UniSteep® filter that reduces pickup of low-frequency ambient noise.

Features:

• Designed for high-quality sound reinforcement, professional recording and broadcasting
• UniLine™ polar pattern provides narrow 90° acceptance angle
• Superior off-axis rejection for maximum gain before feedback
• UniGuard® RFI-shielding technology offers outstanding rejection of radio frequency interference (RFI)
• Easy-to-adjust, rugged, small-diameter, alternating gooseneck with virtually no "memory" permits quick positioning into desired shape
• UniSteep® filter provides a steep low-frequency attenuation to improve sound pickup without affecting voice quality
• Self-contained electronics eliminate need for external power module
• Accepts interchangeable elements to permit angle of acceptance from 90° to 360°
