Audio Technica U853RU Hanging Microphone

The U853RU is a wide-range miniature condenser microphone with a
UniLine® (line cardioid) polar pattern. It is designed for quality sound
reinforcement, professional recording, television and other demanding
sound pickup applications. The combination of small size and excellent
response makes the microphone ideal for suspension over choirs,
instrumental groups or theater stages.
The microphone requires 11V to 52V phantom power for operation.
The microphone is equipped with UniGuard® RFI-shielding technology,
which offers outstanding rejection of radio frequency interference (RFI).
The microphone’s UniLine® (line cardioid) polar pattern provides a
90° angle of acceptance. Additional interchangeable elements with
omnidirectional (360°), cardioid (120°) and hypercardioid (100°) pickup
patterns are available.
The microphone Includes a 7.6 m (25′) permanently attached miniature
cable. Its free end connects to the provided AT8538 power module via
a special TA3F-type connector designed to optimize RFI immunity. The
output of the power module is a 3-pin XLRM-type connector.
A recessed switch in the power module permits choice of flat response
or low-frequency roll-off (via integral 80 Hz high-pass UniSteep® filter) to
help control undesired ambient noise.
The microphone comes equipped with a power module, a vinyl-coated
steel hanger for positioning over a choir/orchestra/stage, a two-stage
foam windscreen and a 5
/8″-27 stand adapter. The microphone is enclosed
in a rugged housing with a low-reflectance black finish. It is also available
with white housing, cable, hanger and windscreen as the U853RWU.
