Perfect for speech, theater, orchestra and
choir sound reinforcement and recording, the U853R cardioid condenser
hanging microphone is equipped with UniGuard™ innovations that offer
unsurpassed immunity from radio frequency interference. 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.
- Designed for suspension over choirs,
instrumental groups and theater stages
- Superior off-axis rejection for
maximum gain before feedback
- UniGuard™ RFI-shielding technology
offers outstanding rejection of radio frequency interference (RFI)
- UniSteep® filter provides a steep
low-frequency attenuation to improve sound pickup without affecting
voice quality
- Accepts interchangeable elements to
permit angle of acceptance from 90° to 360°
- Low-profile design with
low-reflectance finish for minimum visibility
- Available in two colors: black
(U853R) and white (U853RW)
