DESCRIPTION

Audio-Technica delivers precision conferencing audio with the U857QLU, a 603mm (23.74") gooseneck condenser microphone engineered for professional desk-mount installations. Featuring a cardioid UniLine™ condenser element, this microphone provides exceptional off-axis rejection, ensuring clear voice capture while minimising ambient noise and room reflections — critical in boardrooms, council chambers, courtrooms, and houses of worship.

The narrow cardioid polar pattern delivers focused pickup ideal for speech applications, while the UniLine element ensures consistent frequency response across the entire pickup area. The flexible gooseneck allows precise positioning, and the sleek, low-profile design integrates seamlessly into modern AV environments.

  • Polar Pattern: Cardioid UniLine™ condenser element for focused speech pickup
  • Gooseneck Length: 603mm — ideal reach for desk-mount conferencing applications
  • Phantom Powered: Operates on 11–52V DC phantom power
  • In-line Power Module: Features switchable 80Hz low-cut filter to reduce low-frequency rumble
  • Quick-Mount Design: Flange mount base enables fast, tool-friendly installation
  • Self-Noise: Ultra-low noise floor suited to quiet conference environments

A trusted choice for AV integrators and system designers, the U857QLU delivers reliable, intelligible audio in permanently installed speech and conferencing systems where clarity and aesthetics are equally important.
