Audio-Technica Condenser U857

With advanced capsule design coupled with carefully engineered internal electronics, the U857QLU Aniline condenser delivers clear, consistent sound for a variety of installed applications. The 23.74" version of U857QU, the U857QLU features Audio-Technician's Aniline line-cardioid element. The microphone is designed to plug directly into a panel- or desk-mounted XLRF-type connector. Its ultra-flexible, robust gooseneck permits easy adjustment into desired shape while resisting inadvertent repositioning. Featuring Unfigured innovations that offer unsurpassed immunity from radio frequency interference, the U857QLU accepts new interchangeable elements, available in cardioid, hyper cardioid, omnidirectional and Aniline line cardioid polar patterns. The phantom-powered microphone also offers an 80 Hz low-cut Unsteer filter that reduces pickup of low-frequency ambient noise. Features: Designed for high-quality sound reinforcement, professional recording and broadcasting Aniline polar pattern provides narrow 90° acceptance angle Superior off-axis rejection for maximum gain before feedback Unfigured RFI-shielding technology offers outstanding rejection of radio frequency interference (RFI) Easy-to-adjust, rugged, small-diameter, alternating gooseneck with virtually no “memory” permits quick positioning into desired shape Unsteer filter provides a steep low-frequency attenuation to improve sound pickup without affecting voice quality Self-contained electronics eliminate need for external power module Accepts interchangeable elements to permit angle of acceptance from 90° to 360° Two-stage foam windscreen yields dramatically improved resistance to P-pops and other breath blasts Quick-mount design with 3-pin XLRM-type connector insert at base plugs into any standard XLRF-type surface or cable connector Included shock mount attenuates noise, shock and vibration transmitted through the mounting surface
