DESCRIPTION

The Audio-Technica U853W is a UniPoint hanging condenser microphone engineered for permanent overhead installation in houses of worship, theatres, conference centres, and performing arts venues. Its cardioid polar pattern delivers focused pickup with excellent off-axis rejection, making it an ideal choice for choir reinforcement, ensemble miking, and spoken word applications where ambient noise control is critical.

Finished in white, the U853W blends seamlessly into ceiling environments, ensuring a visually unobtrusive installation that meets the aesthetic demands of architects and venue managers alike.

  • Condenser element with cardioid polar pattern for precise, directional audio capture
  • Wide frequency response (30Hz–20kHz) delivering natural, transparent sound reproduction
  • UniGuard® RFI-shielding technology to minimise radio frequency interference in demanding RF environments
  • In-line power module with switchable 80Hz low-cut filter for reducing HVAC rumble and low-frequency stage noise
  • Phantom powered (11–52V DC) for universal compatibility with mixing consoles and DSP systems
  • Integral 7.6m (25') cable with steel hanging wire for secure, adjustable mounting
  • White housing for discreet ceiling-mount applications

A proven workhorse for AV integrators and system designers, the U853W delivers reliable, high-fidelity performance in installed sound environments where consistent coverage and low-profile aesthetics are essential.
