Audio-Technica U857Q
Gooseneck Podium Microphone
Item: ATU857Q
Ideal for conference centers, boardrooms, courtrooms, houses of worship, and other installed applications. The U857Q is designed to plug directly into a panel, or desk-mounted XLRF-type connector. Thanks to Audio-Technica’s UniGuard® innovations, this cardioid condenser "quick-mount" gooseneck podium microphone offers unsurpassed immunity from radio frequency interference . The 14.47 inch long, ultra-flexible small-diameter gooseneck accepts interchangeable elements, available in cardioid, hypercardioid, omnidirectional and UniLine™ line cardioid polar patterns. Equipped with self-contained electronics, the phantom-powered microphone also offers an 80 Hz low-cut UniSteep® filter that reduces pickup of low-frequency ambient noise.
