Audio-Technica U857QL Cardioid Condenser Gooseneck Microphone LONG

The Audio-Technica U857QL Cardioid Condenser Gooseneck Microphone Long delivers clear, dependable speech reinforcement for professional installed applications. It suits conference centers, boardrooms, courtrooms, houses of worship, and other demanding spaces. Furthermore, its 18.94-inch length provides extended reach for tables, podiums, and presentation positions. The cardioid polar pattern offers a 120-degree acceptance angle for focused speech capture. Consequently, it helps improve gain before feedback while reducing unwanted off-axis sound.

The rugged, small-diameter gooseneck allows fast and precise positioning during installation or operation. Its flexible alternating design holds the desired shape without developing significant memory. Moreover, the quick-mount construction connects directly to standard XLRF-type surface or cable connectors. The integral three-pin XLRM connector keeps the electronics self-contained, eliminating the need for an external power module. Phantom power between 11V and 52V supplies reliable operation for compatible systems.

Audio-Technica also includes UniGuard RFI-shielding technology for outstanding resistance to radio frequency interference. Therefore, the microphone maintains dependable performance in electrically demanding environments. The integrated UniSteep filter provides an 80 Hz low-frequency roll-off with an 18 dB/octave slope. This setting reduces low-frequency ambient noise while supporting clear and natural voice reproduction. Additionally, the two-stage foam windscreen improves resistance to P-pops and breath blasts.

The Audio-Technica U857QL Cardioid Condenser Gooseneck Microphone Long accepts optional interchangeable elements, expanding its pickup options from 90 to 360 degrees. This flexibility allows the microphone to adapt to different installation and coverage requirements. The included AT8662 shock mount helps reduce noise, shock, and vibration from the mounting surface. Meanwhile, its 30 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response supports detailed speech and sound reinforcement. With professional construction and practical installation features, the U857QL provides a reliable solution for demanding fixed microphone applications.
