Audio-Technica U891RCb Cardioid Condenser Boundary Microphone with Local or Remote Switching

Introduction to the U891RCb Cardioid Condenser Boundary Microphone
The Audio-Technica U891RCb is a versatile and highly functional condenser boundary microphone designed to meet the needs of professional conference rooms, boardrooms, and recording studios. This cardioid microphone features touch-sensitive capacitive controls that provide flexible operation with multiple modes, such as touch on/off, press to talk, and press to mute. Perfect for environments requiring precision sound capture, the U891RCb offers the added benefit of both local and remote switching, making it an ideal choice for complex setups where seamless control is crucial.

Flexible Control with Touch-Sensitive Capacitive Switch
This microphone is equipped with a capacitive-type touch switch that allows users to choose from three easy-to-use operating modes. Whether you need to quickly mute or activate the mic, or control the volume, the intuitive interface ensures a smooth experience in every setting. The press-to-talk mode ensures clear communication in meetings, while the touch-to-mute feature offers a quick way to cut off unwanted noise. This flexibility makes it the perfect tool for conferences, professional recordings, and even remote productions.

Advanced Integration with External Devices
One of the standout features of the U891RCb is its logic I/O capability, which allows you to control external devices directly from the microphone. This feature is particularly useful in conference and boardroom installations, where the microphone can be used to trigger devices such as cameras or presentation equipment. Whether you're streaming a meeting or simply controlling multimedia, the integration ensures that your microphone is not just a tool for capturing sound but a part of a larger, fully functional audio-visual setup.

Clear, Interference-Free Audio for Any Setting
The U891RCb offers outstanding sound clarity, even in environments with high levels of interference. Thanks to Audio-Technica's UniGuard® RFI-shielding technology, this microphone provides exceptional resistance to radio frequency interference (RFI). Whether you're recording in a studio filled with electronic equipment or broadcasting in a conference room with many connected devices, you can rely on this microphone to deliver crystal-clear audio without unwanted disruptions. Additionally, the 80 Hz low-cut UniSteep® filter helps reduce low-frequency ambient noise, ensuring only the most important sounds are captured.

Rugged and Reliable Design for Long-Term Use
Built with durability in mind, the U891RCb features a heavy die-cast case and silicon foam bottom pads that minimize vibration and ensure stable operation. The microphone's PivotPoint® rotating output connector allows for flexible cable management, enabling you to change the cable exit point easily without needing any tools. Threaded inserts on the bottom of the microphone provide additional mounting options, ensuring secure installation in any setting. The microphone’s low-profile design with a low-reflectance finish also ensures that it will seamlessly blend into professional environments without drawing unnecessary attention.

Wide Compatibility with Interchangeable Elements
The U891RCb is equipped with a small-diameter UniPoint® element that delivers clear, high-output performance while eliminating phase distortion. In addition, the microphone accepts interchangeable elements, allowing for a broad range of polar patterns such as omnidirectional (360°), hypercardioid (100°), and cardioid (120°). This makes it adaptable to a variety of environments, from general-purpose use to specialized applications that require precise sound directionality.
