A Low-Profile, Great-sounding Hanging Condenser Mic!

The Audio-Technica U853RW hanging condenser microphone gives you an unobtrusive, incredibly clear-sounding way to capture overhead audio from choral, orchestral, and house of worship applications. The U853RW features a UniGuard design that makes it practically immune to RF interference. This phantom-powered mic features a cardioid pickup pattern, allowing it to capture sound accurately while rejecting outside noise. It also includes an 80Hz low-cut filter, power module with XLRM connector, and 2-stage foam windscreen. A steel hanger, and stand adapter are also packaged with the U853RW.

Audio-Technica U853RW Hanging Cardioid Condenser Microphone Features:
  • White finish makes it ideal for house of worship applications
  • Designed for suspension over choirs, instrumental groups and theater stages
  • Superior off-axis rejection for maximum gain before feedback
  • UniGuard RFI-shielding technology offers outstanding rejection of radio frequency interference (RFI)
  • UniSteep filter provides a steep low-frequency attenuation to improve sound pickup without affecting voice quality
  • Accepts interchangeable elements to permit angle of acceptance from 90° to 360°
  • Low-profile design with low-reflectance finish for minimum visibility


The Audio-Technica U853RW hanging condenser microphone is a low-profile, accurate, and effective sound reinforcement tool!

Our Customers Say...

“Ninety-five percent of everything in this studio came from Sweetwater. My Sales Engineer is a lifesaver. I started working with him around 2005, talking to him about what my vision was for the studio. He was right there all the way.”
