Audio Technica U857Q Cardioid Condenser Microphone
The Audio Technica U857Q is ideal for use in courtrooms, conference centers, houses of worship, boardrooms, and other installed applications, it is professionally designed to plug directly into a panel- or desk-mounted XLRF-type connector. This cardioid condenser quick-mount gooseneck microphone is offering an unsurpassed immunity from radio frequency interference and that's because, it is equipped with Audio-Technica’s UniGuard® innovations. The 14.47” long microphone comes with an ultra-flexible small-diameter gooseneck and able to accept interchangeable elements, available in UniLine®, hypercardioid, cardioid, and omnidirectional line cardioid polar patterns. The phantom-powered microphone is equipped with self-contained electronics, and also offering an 80 Hz low-cut UniSteep® filter that is reducing the pickup of low-frequency ambient noise.
