DESCRIPTION

−

Audio-Technica designed the U853 UniPoint hanging condenser microphone specifically for permanent overhead installation in environments where unobtrusive, high-quality audio capture is essential. Its cardioid polar pattern provides focused pickup while effectively rejecting off-axis noise, making it ideal for houses of worship, theatres, conference rooms, lecture halls, and auditoriums.

Built around Audio-Technica's proprietary UniPoint technology, the U853 delivers smooth, articulate sound reproduction across a wide frequency response of 30–20,000 Hz. The single-point design ensures consistent polar pattern integrity and excellent transient response, capturing speech and musical performances with remarkable clarity and detail.

  • Polar Pattern: Cardioid — targeted pickup with superior ambient rejection
  • Transducer: Permanently polarised condenser element
  • Frequency Response: 30–20,000 Hz
  • Power: Phantom powered (11–52V DC)
  • Design: Low-profile, ceiling-suspended housing for discreet installation
  • Includes: In-line power module with switchable low-cut filter
  • Finish: Black for visually unobtrusive deployment

The included power module features a selectable 80 Hz high-pass filter to manage low-frequency rumble and HVAC noise — a critical consideration for installed sound environments. With robust RFI shielding and reliable phantom power operation, the U853 is a trusted choice for AV integrators and system designers seeking dependable, installation-grade overhead microphone solutions.
