Audio-Technica U853PMU UniLine Cardioid Condenser Hanging Mic, Power Module, Black

The U853PMU hanging microphone, part of the UniPoint® series from Audio-Technica, is equipped with a UniLine® line-cardioid element (UE-UL, 90°), is supplied with a wall/ceiling plate power module, intended for permanent installation in a standard, single-gang electrical box. It's a phantom-powered mic that features UniGuard® innovations, providing unsurpassed immunity from radio frequency interference (RFI). Besides the included UniLine element, it accepts other available interchangeable mic elements as well, offering cardioid, hypercardioid and omnidirectional polar pickup patterns (note: additional elements sold separately). It also has a 80 Hz low-cut UniSteep® filter that reduces pickup of low-frequency (LF) ambient noise. Comes in black; also available in a white finish (U853PMWU - sold separately).
