Audio Technica U853RU Miniature Uniline Condenser

Product Description

The AUDIO TECHNICA U853RU is a miniature uniline condenser microphone designed for professional audio capture in installed sound and broadcast applications. Uniline condenser microphones use a narrow, highly directional pickup pattern to isolate sound sources and reject off-axis noise, making them a reliable choice for hanging or overhead microphone installations. This unit ships as a single microphone and is suited for installers and audio professionals working in fixed-installation environments where discreet placement and consistent acoustic performance are required.

The U853RU is commonly used in houses of worship, conference rooms, performing arts venues, and broadcast studios where a hanging wired microphone configuration is preferred. Its compact, miniature form factor allows for unobtrusive ceiling or overhead suspension. Installation contractors and audio system integrators typically deploy this microphone in permanent or semi-permanent installed sound systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified audio systems integrator or licensed low-voltage contractor. Disconnect and de-energize the audio system and any phantom power supply before wiring or repositioning the microphone. Follow applicable local electrical codes and manufacturer wiring guidelines when routing balanced audio cable. Ensure the suspension hardware is rated for the mounting surface and ceiling type before hanging.
