Audio-Technica U853RW

The U853RW cardioid condenser hanging microphone is ideal for speech, theatre, orchestra and choir sound and recording.

With a consistent cardioid polar pattern, the mic offers natural sound from any angle, and superior gain before feedback. It is phantom powered and features an integral 80 Hz low cut UniSteep® filter that reduces pickup of low frequency ambient noise.

The microphone accepts interchangeable elements, available in cardioid, hypercardioid, omnidirectional and UniLine® line cardioid polar patterns.
