DESCRIPTION

Audio-Technica delivers proven performance for conferencing and installed sound applications with the U857QL, a 481mm (18.9") gooseneck condenser microphone engineered for professional desk-mount installations. Featuring a precision-machined UniLine® line cardioid condenser element, this microphone provides a tight, narrow pickup pattern that maximises gain-before-feedback and ensures exceptional rejection of ambient room noise — critical in boardrooms, council chambers, courtrooms, and houses of worship.

The U857QL utilises a quick-mount design with a flanged base, enabling fast and secure installation into desks, lecterns, and custom furniture. Its slim, low-profile gooseneck offers flexible positioning while maintaining a clean, unobtrusive aesthetic suited to high-end meeting environments.

  • Element: UniLine® line cardioid condenser with narrow acceptance angle
  • Gooseneck Length: 481mm (18.9") for versatile positioning
  • Polar Pattern: Cardioid — optimised for speech intelligibility
  • Power: Phantom powered (11–52V DC)
  • UniGuard® RFI-shielding technology for interference-free operation
  • Inline power module with switchable 80 Hz low-cut filter
  • Quick-mount flange base for streamlined integration

A dependable choice for AV integrators and system designers specifying reliable, high-intelligibility microphone solutions for permanent installation projects across New Zealand.
