Product Overview
The Audio-Technica AT8451 is a black wire hanger adapter for overhead microphones, designed to suspend a hanging condenser mic from its own connecting cable in permanent installations. As a UniPoint system component, this overhead microphone hanger adapter is built for choir lofts, courtrooms, theaters, and house of worship ceilings where discreet suspended capture is required. The flexible steel hanger lets AV integrators aim the microphone precisely while keeping the mounting hardware nearly invisible. Its black finish blends into dark ceilings and stage rigging for unobtrusive overhead miking.
Product Description

The AT8451 provides a clean method for positioning hanging microphones suspended by nothing more than their connecting cable. The adapter has two coiled ends: one cradles the microphone while the other grips the cable, with a flexible steel mid-section in between that can be bent to any useful angle. This pliant mid-section lets the technician aim the capsule in almost any direction, and the sturdy steel holds its shape once positioned. As a UniPoint system component, the AT8451 fits Audio-Technica case styles M12, M21, and M32, covering a range of hanging and overhead condenser microphones used in commercial AV installations. The black finish suits dark ceilings, trusses, and stage environments where the hanger should remain inconspicuous. For permanent installations, integrators can pair the hanger with the AT8534 Wall/Ceiling Plate Power Module to supply dedicated phantom power to the condenser mic. This makes the AT8451 a practical choice for choir, courtroom, and conference ceiling deployments. To find compatible hanging microphones and accessories, browse our catalog at Creation Networks. Keeping spares on hand keeps every overhead miking project on schedule.
