The Audio-Technica U853aW hanging condenser microphone offers up an unobtrusive, incredibly clear-sounding way to capture overhead audio from choral, orchestral, and house of worship jobs. The U853aW features a UniGuard design that makes it practically immune to RF interference. This battery or phantom-powered microphone features a cardioid pickup pattern, allowing it to capture sound accurately while rejecting outside noise. It also includes an 80Hz low-cut filter, power module with XLRM connector, and 2-stage foam windscreen. A steel hanger, battery, and stand adapter are also packaged with the U853aW.
