DESCRIPTION

−

The Audio-Technica U853 is a permanently installed UniPoint hanging condenser microphone engineered for overhead capture in houses of worship, theatres, auditoriums, and conference facilities. Its cardioid polar pattern delivers focused pickup of choral ensembles and spoken word while effectively rejecting ambient noise and unwanted off-axis sound sources.

Featuring a sleek, low-profile black housing, the U853 is designed to blend seamlessly into architectural environments where visual discretion is essential. The microphone's small-diameter capsule provides natural, transparent audio reproduction across a wide frequency response of 30 Hz to 20 kHz, ensuring detailed capture of vocal harmonics and subtle dynamic nuances.

  • Polar Pattern: Cardioid for focused, directional pickup
  • Frequency Response: 30 Hz – 20,000 Hz
  • UniGuard RFI-Shielding Technology: Ensures interference-free operation in demanding RF environments
  • Integral Cable: 7.6 m (25') attached cable with in-line AT8531 power module
  • Power Requirements: 11–52V DC phantom power
  • Black Finish: Unobtrusive aesthetic for permanent installations

The included AT8531 power module provides a balanced XLR output for straightforward integration with mixing consoles, DSP processors, and installed sound systems. A reliable and proven solution for integrators and installers, the U853 delivers consistent, professional-grade performance in fixed overhead microphone applications.
