With its cardioid polar pattern and advanced features, the U853PM is an ideal choice for professionals looking to capture precise audio in various live or studio settings.

High-Quality Sound Capture with Cardioid Polar Pattern
The U853PM features a cardioid polar pattern with a 120° acceptance angle, which provides focused audio pickup from the front while rejecting sounds from the sides and rear. This directional design minimizes ambient noise and ensures that your microphone only picks up the desired source of sound. Whether you're using it for theatrical performances, choir recordings, or instrumental group sound reinforcement, this microphone ensures that every voice and instrument is captured with clarity and precision, even in noisy environments.

Enhanced Feedback Prevention with Superior Off-Axis Rejection
The U853PM excels in off-axis rejection, which helps to prevent feedback even in high-gain situations. This feature is crucial for live performances where microphones are often placed near speakers or loud instruments. By reducing the chances of feedback, the U853PM allows you to achieve maximum gain before feedback becomes an issue, making it a reliable choice for venues of any size. This makes it an ideal solution for professional sound reinforcement in both large auditoriums and intimate settings.

UniGuard® RFI-Shielding Technology for Clean Audio
With Audio-Technica’s UniGuard® RFI-shielding technology, the U853PM provides outstanding resistance to radio frequency interference (RFI). This technology ensures that the microphone captures clean and uninterrupted audio, even in environments with numerous electronic devices that may cause interference. Whether you’re recording or performing in spaces with heavy electronic equipment, UniGuard® technology ensures that your microphone’s performance remains unaffected by RFI, providing high-quality sound reproduction.

UniSteep® Filter for Enhanced Sound Quality
The U853PM is equipped with the UniSteep® filter, which provides steep low-frequency attenuation, improving sound pickup while maintaining vocal clarity. This feature enhances the microphone's ability to reject unwanted low-frequency noise, such as hums or rumbling sounds, while preserving the quality of the recorded voices or instruments. It ensures that your microphone captures only the relevant audio frequencies, making it an ideal choice for professional sound systems where precision is essential.

Easy Installation with Plate Mount Power Module
The U853PM comes with a wall/ceiling plate power module that allows for easy and permanent installation in a standard U.S. single-gang electrical box. This power module features a +10 dB gain switch and a high-pass UniSteep® filter, providing additional control over the microphone’s audio output and ensuring optimal performance. Whether you’re installing the microphone in a theater, choir room, or studio, the power module makes installation simple and straightforward.
