Equipped with Audio-Technica’s UniLine™ line-cardioid element with a
tightly focused 90º acceptance angle, the U853AU features UniGuard®
innovations that offer unsurpassed immunity from radio frequency
interference. The battery- or phantom-powered microphone accepts
interchangeable elements, available in cardioid, hypercardioid,
omnidirectional and UniLine™ line cardioid polar patterns. It also
offers an 80 Hz low-cut UniSteep® filter that reduces pickup of
low-frequency ambient noise.
