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
