Audio-Technica U851RWb Cardioid Condenser Boundary Microphone (White)

Professional Audio Performance for Surface-Mount Applications
The Audio-Technica U851RWb Cardioid Condenser Boundary Microphone (White) is designed to provide clear, transparent sound for a wide range of professional environments. Phantom-powered and ideal for surface-mount installations, this microphone delivers exceptional speech intelligibility and high-quality sound reproduction. Whether you’re using it for sound reinforcement, recording, television production, or conferencing, the U851RWb is a reliable solution for capturing every detail of the audio with impressive clarity. Its cardioid polar pattern ensures optimal sound pickup in demanding situations, making it perfect for applications where precision and clarity are critical.

Clear, High-Output Performance with Off-Axis Rejection
Equipped with a small-diameter UniPoint® element positioned near the boundary, the U851RWb minimizes phase distortion, delivering high-output performance and clear sound quality. The cardioid polar pattern provides excellent off-axis rejection, ensuring that the microphone picks up audio from the desired direction while minimizing unwanted background noise. This capability results in superior feedback prevention, allowing you to increase gain levels without the risk of feedback, which is essential for live sound environments and professional recordings.

Flexible Installation with PivotPoint® Connector and Interchangeable Elements
The U851RWb offers unmatched flexibility with its PivotPoint® rotating output connector, allowing you to route the cable either from the rear or the bottom of the microphone. This feature ensures that the microphone can be easily installed in a variety of environments, whether you’re working in a conference room, studio, or live sound setup. Additionally, the microphone is compatible with interchangeable condenser elements, including omnidirectional (360°), cardioid (120°), and hypercardioid (100°) patterns, available separately. This versatility allows you to customize the microphone to suit different acoustic environments and capture sound from a variety of angles.

RFI Shielding and Self-Contained Electronics for Reliable Performance
With Audio-Technica’s UniGuard® RFI-shielding technology, the U851RWb provides excellent rejection of radio frequency interference (RFI), ensuring consistent, interference-free audio capture even in environments with high electronic activity. This technology makes the microphone ideal for settings where other devices may cause interference, such as television studios or live event environments. The self-contained electronics eliminate the need for an external power module, simplifying the setup and ensuring that the microphone operates efficiently without additional equipment.

Durability and Vibration Isolation for Consistent Sound Quality
The U851RWb is built to last, featuring a heavy die-cast case that ensures durability and protection against wear and tear. The microphone’s non-slip silicone foam bottom pads minimize the coupling of surface vibrations, preventing unwanted noise from interfering with the sound quality. This robust construction ensures that the U851RWb maintains its high-performance sound quality even in challenging environments where vibration or physical handling may be a concern. Its low-profile design, combined with its white finish, also allows it to blend seamlessly into professional environments without drawing attention.
