Product Overview

The Audio-Technica U853PM is a cardioid condenser hanging microphone from the UniPoint installation series, designed for suspension over choirs, instrumental groups, and stage areas. Its cardioid pattern focuses pickup on performers below while rejecting off-axis sound, making it a practical overhead choir microphone for houses of worship and auditoriums. The package includes the AT8534 wall/ceiling plate power module for clean, permanent installation.

Product Description

The U853PM suspends discreetly above performers and captures a defined area with its cardioid pattern, which helps control feedback and ambient pickup in reinforced rooms. Interchangeable elements in other patterns are available so the installation can be adapted to the space.

Audio-Technica U853PM cardioid condenser hanging microphone with power module

An 80 Hz UniSteep low-cut filter reduces low-frequency ambient noise, and UniGuard RFI shielding guards against radio-frequency interference. A 7.6 m (25') attached cable connects to the included AT8534 wall/ceiling plate power module via a TA3F-type connector, and the microphone requires 11V to 52V phantom power.

An adjustable steel wire hanger, two-stage foam windscreen, and 5/8″-27 stand adapter are included for flexible mounting. For a more focused overhead pattern, the line-cardioid U853PMU UniLine hanging microphone is a complementary option.

Key Features

  • Cardioid hanging capsule — The directional pattern focuses pickup on performers below while rejecting off-axis sound and ambient noise.
  • 80 Hz UniSteep filter — The integral low-cut filter reduces low-frequency ambient noise in live rooms.
  • UniGuard RFI shielding — UniGuard technology provides strong immunity from radio-frequency interference in installed systems.
  • Complete install kit — An adjustable steel wire hanger, two-stage windscreen, 5/8″-27 adapter, and AT8534 power module are included.
