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
