Product Overview
The Audio-Technica U857QU is a UniLine condenser quick-mount gooseneck microphone with an integral power module for podiums, lecterns, and conference tables. Its UniLine line-cardioid pattern with a tight 90-degree acceptance angle delivers strong gain before feedback and clear speech at a distance. This professional gooseneck microphone is built for installed commercial AV.
Product Description
The Audio-Technica U857QU is 19.17″ (487 mm) long and plugs directly into a panel- or desk-mounted XLRF-type connector. UniGuard RFI shielding protects against interference, and the microphone accepts interchangeable elements in cardioid, hypercardioid, omnidirectional, and UniLine patterns.

An 80 Hz UniSteep low-cut filter reduces low-frequency ambient noise, and the balanced Lo-Z output runs on 11V to 52V phantom power. Explore more Audio-Technica gooseneck microphones at Creation Networks.
