The Audio-Technica U853R Hanging Microphone is designed for accurate signal reproduction in theaters, houses-of-worship, conference halls, boardrooms, schools, professional recording applications and more. The U853R features a flexible steel hanger that grips the suspended cable and capsule, enabling easy microphone placement without excess hardware.

The U853R features Audio-Technica’s UniLine cardioid capsule. The UniLine cardioid capsule features a tight 90-degree acceptance angle, virtually eliminating audio signal outside of the pick-up pattern. The result is a focused pattern that accurately reproduces audio signal in noisy environments.

A low frequency roll-off switch eliminates rumble and noise associated with room ambiance, acoustics, wind, proximity effect, etc. The U853R’s rich audio quality, detailed signal reproduction, small profile and flexibility make it an excellent choice for capturing choirs, theatrical performances, lectures, sermons, etc.
