Audio-Technica U853R Miniature cardioid condenser hanging microphon...
Product Overview
The Audio-Technica U853R is a miniature cardioid condenser hanging microphone from the UniPoint Series, designed for accurate signal reproduction in theaters, houses of worship, conference halls, and boardrooms. A flexible steel hanger grips the suspended cable and capsule, enabling clean microphone placement without excess hardware. The cardioid capsule delivers a focused pickup area that minimizes off-axis noise and feedback. An in-line power module is included for straightforward phantom-powered installation.
Product Description
The Audio-Technica U853R hanging microphone pairs a highly sensitive cardioid condenser capsule with a wide, linear frequency response for transparent reproduction of both vocals and instruments. 
The cardioid polar pattern provides a focused pickup that rejects ambient room noise and reduces the risk of feedback, an essential trait for ceiling-suspended choir and lectern miking. A switchable UniSteep low-frequency roll-off filter eliminates rumble and residual noise associated with room acoustics, wind, and proximity effect. UniGuard RFI shielding protects the microphone against radio-frequency interference common in busy install environments. The flexible steel suspension hanger wraps around the ceiling cable and capsule for adjustable positioning without additional mounting hardware. As part of the UniPoint series, the U853R accepts interchangeable capsules, with hypercardioid, omnidirectional, and UniLine options available. Its small profile and detailed signal reproduction make it a strong choice for capturing choirs, theatrical performances, lectures, and sermons. AV integrators planning a hanging microphone installation can compare the U853R cardioid condenser hanging microphone and related models at Creation Networks.
