U853PMU

Common name: Audio Technica U853PMU

Production Status: In production

The U853PMU is a permanently polarised condenser hanging microphone featuring Audio-Technica’s UniLine® line-cardioid element. It comes equipped with a wall/ceiling plate power module for permanent installation in a standard, single-gang electrical box. The phantom-powered microphone also offers UniGuard® innovations that deliver 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. It is ideal for recording and sound reinforcement of choir and instrumental groups on theatre stages. The low-profile design and low-reflectance finish contribute to the minimum visibility of the microphone. It is also available in white (U853PMWU).
