Audio Technica U857Q Condenser Quick Mount Gooseneck Microphone XLRF Type

Audio Technica U857Q Condenser Quick Mount Gooseneck Microphone XLRF Type

Ideal for conference centers, boardrooms, courtrooms, houses of worship, and other installed applications, the U857Q is designed to plug directly into a panel- or desk-mounted XLRF-type connector. Offering unsurpassed immunity from radio frequency interference thanks to Audio-Technica’s UniGuard® innovations, this quick-mount microphone features an ultra-flexible, small-diameter gooseneck and accepts interchangeable elements – omnidirectional (360°), cardioid (120°), hypercardioid (100°), and UniLine® (90°) – available separately. Equipped with self-contained electronics, the phantom-powered microphone also offers an 80 Hz low-cut UniSteep® filter that reduces pickup of low-frequency ambient noise.

Features:

• Accepts interchangeable elements to permit angle of acceptance from 90° to 360°
• Designed for high-quality sound reinforcement, professional recording and broadcasting
• Easy-to-adjust, rugged, small-diameter, alternating gooseneck with virtually no “memory” permits quick positioning into desired shape
• Included shock mount attenuates noise, shock and vibration transmitted through the mounting surface
• Quick-mount design with 3-pin XLRM-type connector insert at base plugs into any standard XLRF-type surface or cable connector
• Self-contained electronics eliminate need for external power module
• Superior off-axis rejection for maximum gain before feedback
• Two-stage foam windscreen yields dramatically improved resistance to P-pops and other breath blasts
• 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
