Audio Technica U857QL Pro Podium Microphone (18.94 Inch)

The 18.94" version of the U857Q, the U857QL cardioid condenser quick-mount gooseneck microphone is designed to plug directly into a panel- or desk-mounted XLRF-type connector. The microphone offers unsurpassed immunity from radio frequency interference thanks to UniGuard® innovations. It features an ultra-flexible small-diameter gooseneck and 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.

Designed for high-quality sound reinforcement, professional recording and broadcasting. Superior off-axis rejection for maximum gain before feedback. UniGuard® RFI-shielding technology offers outstanding rejection of radio frequency interference (RFI.) Easy-to-adjust, rugged, small-diameter, alternating gooseneck with virtually no "memory" permits quick positioning into desired shape. UniSteep® filter provides a steep low-frequency attenuation to improve sound pickup without affecting voice quality. Self-contained electronics eliminate need for external power module. Accepts interchangeable elements to permit angle of acceptance from 90° to 360°. Two-stage foam windscreen yields dramatically improved resistance to P-pops and other breath blasts. Quick-mount design with 3-pin XLRM-type connector insert at base plugs into any standard XLRF-type surface or cable connector. Included shock mount attenuates noise, shock and vibration transmitted through the mounting surface.
