Audio-Technica U851CW

Offering outstanding Audio-Technica sound for surface-mount applications, the U851A features a PivotPoint rotating output connector, UniSteep filter and UniGuard RFI-shielding technology. This battery- or phantom-powered condenser microphone accepts interchangeable condenser elements - available for boundary microphones in cardioid, hypercardioid and omnidirectional polar patterns. Its heavy die-cast case and silicon foam bottom pads minimize coupling of surface vibration to the microphone. With superior off-axis rejection and maximum gain-before-feedback, this professional microphone sets audio-quality standards in challenging acoustic environments.

Features

• Designed for surface-mount applications such ashigh-quality sound reinforcement, professional recording, television,conferencing and other demanding sound pickup situations
• PivotPoint rotating output connector allows cable toexit from either the rear or the bottom of the microphone
• Superior off-axis rejection for maximum gain beforefeedback
• UniGuard RFI-shielding technology offers outstandingrejection of radio frequency interference (RFI)
• UniSteep filter provides a steep low-frequencyattenuation to improve sound pickup without affecting voice quality
• Small-diameter UniPoint capsule near boundaryeliminates phase distortion and delivers clear, high-output performance
• Heavy die-cast case and non-slip silicon foam bottompads minimize coupling of surface vibration to the microphone
• Low-profile design with low-reflectance black finishfor minimum visibility
• Operates on battery or phantom power
