Product Overview
The Audio-Technica U853RWU is a miniature UniLine condenser hanging microphone for overhead choir, orchestra, theater, and speech pickup. Its UniLine line-cardioid pattern with a 90-degree acceptance angle delivers superior off-axis rejection for maximum gain before feedback. This professional hanging microphone is built for installed commercial AV in light-colored rooms.
Product Description
The Audio-Technica U853RWU suspends overhead on a 25 ft (7.6 m) cable terminated with a TA3F connector and includes the AT8538 in-line power module with an 80 Hz UniSteep high-pass filter. UniGuard RFI shielding protects against radio-frequency interference.
