DESCRIPTION

−

The Audio-Technica U853WU is a permanently installed UniPoint hanging condenser microphone engineered for overhead sound reinforcement in houses of worship, theatres, auditoriums, and conference environments. Its cardioid polar pattern delivers focused pickup with excellent off-axis rejection, making it ideal for choir and ensemble miking where ambient noise control is critical.

Featuring Audio-Technica's renowned UniPoint design, this microphone utilises a small-diameter capsule precisely mounted at the acoustic centre of the housing, ensuring accurate and consistent audio capture across the entire frequency response of 30–20,000 Hz. The white finish allows the U853WU to blend seamlessly into light-coloured ceilings and architectural environments, maintaining visual discretion in permanent installations.

  • Polar Pattern: Cardioid — optimised for overhead choir and spoken word capture
  • Frequency Response: 30–20,000 Hz for full-range intelligibility
  • UniPoint Technology: Single-point design for precise, phase-coherent pickup
  • White Housing: Low-visibility finish for aesthetically sensitive installations
  • Phantom Powered: 11–52V DC operation for broad compatibility with mixing consoles and DSP systems
  • Includes AT8531 In-Line Power Module: With switchable low-cut filter for managing HVAC rumble and mechanical noise

A trusted solution for AV integrators and installation professionals seeking reliable, high-clarity overhead microphone coverage in fixed sound systems.
