Common name: Audio-Technica U853PM

Production Status: In production

The U853PM is a permanently polarised cardioid condenser microphone designed for permanent installation. It is ideal for recording and sound reinforcement of choir and instrumental groups on theatre stages. The U853PM hanging microphone comes equipped with a wall/ceiling plate power module. The phantom-powered microphone features UniGuard® innovations that offer excellent immunity from radio frequency interference. It accepts interchangeable elements, available in cardioid, hypercardioid, omnidirectional and UniLine® line cardioid polar patterns. Its 80 Hz low-cut UniSteep® filter reduces pickup of low-frequency ambient noise. The low-profile design and low-reflectance finish contribute to the minimum visibility of the microphone. It is also available in white (U853PMW).
