Audio-Technica U857QL Gooseneck Microphone
Cardioid condenser quick-mount gooseneck microphone with integral power module, phantom power only, 18.94" long
The Audio-Technica U857QL is a flexible gooseneck microphone designed for outstanding performance in schools, houses-of-worship, boardrooms, government facilities, etc. The microphone capsule features a cardioid polar pattern for superb rejection of off-axis noise and ambience.
The wide linear frequency response delivers smooth, accurate reproduction of speech without noise, artifacts, or colorization. The ultraflexible gooseneck enables positioning while resisting inadvertent repositioning. Optional interchangeable capsules provide cardioid, hypercardioid, omnidirectional and UniLine cardioid polar patterns for added flexibility.
