Product Description

The Audio Technica U853AW is a professional hanging mic with a cardioid pickup. Battery or Phantom powerable. Features UniGuard protection from RF interference. This is the black version.

The black-finished version of U853A, the U853A cardioid condenser hanging microphone is ideal for speech, theater, orchestra and choir sound reinforcement and recording.

Equipped with UniGuard® innovations that offer unsurpassed immunity from radio frequency interference, the U853A accepts interchangeable elements, available in cardioid, hypercardioid, omnidirectional and UniLine® line cardioid polar patterns. The battery- or phantom-powered microphone also offers an 80 Hz low-cut UniSteep® filter that reduces pickup of low-frequency ambient noise.
