Audio-Technica U853R Miniature Cardioid Condenser Microphone

Optimized for speech reinforcement, theatrical hangs and discreet monitoring, the Audio-Technica U853R miniature cardioid condenser microphone delivers reliable, natural sound where clarity matters most. This UniPoint hanging microphone combines Audio-Technica’s UniGuard RF immunity with a consistent cardioid polar pattern to minimize interference and deliver superior gain-before-feedback — ideal for live AV, choir, conference, and security or surveillance audio capture.

The U853R is phantom-powered and features an integral 80 Hz UniSteep low-cut filter that reduces low-frequency ambient noise, while its 30 Hz–20 kHz frequency response preserves vocal detail and intelligibility. With a balanced XLR output, 250 Ω impedance and a 25' cable, it integrates easily into pro audio, recording and monitoring systems used in houses of worship, theaters, broadcast facilities and security installations. Interchangeable elements provide installation flexibility when different polar patterns are required.
