Cardioid Polar Pattern: The U857QL uses a cardioid polar pattern with a 120-degree acceptance angle. This focused pickup helps capture speech clearly from the intended speaker. Furthermore, the pattern provides strong off-axis rejection, which helps achieve maximum gain before feedback.
18.94-Inch Gooseneck: The 18.94-inch (481 mm) gooseneck provides extended reach for professional installations. Therefore, users can position the microphone closer to the speaker without compromising convenient mounting. Its small diameter also maintains a clean and professional appearance.
Flexible Positioning: The rugged, alternating gooseneck design offers excellent flexibility during setup. Users can quickly adjust the microphone into the desired position. Moreover, the gooseneck has virtually no memory, helping it maintain its chosen shape during use.
UniGuard® RFI Shielding: UniGuard® technology provides outstanding protection against radio frequency interference. Consequently, the microphone can deliver dependable performance in environments containing potential sources of radio interference. This makes it suitable for professional installed sound applications.
UniSteep® Low-Frequency Filter: The integrated UniSteep® filter provides an 80 Hz low-frequency attenuation. It uses a steep 18 dB/octave slope to reduce unwanted low-frequency ambient noise. At the same time, it helps maintain natural and intelligible voice reproduction.
Quick-Mount XLR Connection: The U857QL features an integral three-pin XLRM-type connector at its base. This design plugs directly into standard XLRF-type surface or cable connectors. As a result, installation becomes straightforward for compatible panel and desk-mounted applications.
Self-Contained Electronics: The microphone includes self-contained electronics, so it does not require an external power module. Instead, the microphone operates using phantom power from a compatible audio system. This design helps simplify professional installation requirements.
Interchangeable Microphone Elements: The U857QL accepts optional interchangeable microphone elements. Therefore, users can select different pickup patterns according to their installation needs. Available options support coverage ranging from 90° to 360°.
Two-Stage Foam Windscreen: The included AT8153 two-stage foam windscreen improves protection against unwanted breath noise. It also helps reduce P-pops and other breath blasts during speech. Consequently, presenters can achieve cleaner and more consistent vocal pickup.
Shock Mount: The included AT8662 shock mount helps isolate the microphone from unwanted mechanical noise. It attenuates noise, shock, and vibration transmitted through the mounting surface. This feature proves particularly useful in fixed installations where surface vibrations can affect microphone performance.
Professional Installation Applications: The U857QL suits a wide range of professional environments. These include conference centres, boardrooms, courtrooms, houses of worship, recording applications, broadcasting environments, and sound reinforcement systems. Its combination of flexible positioning and focused pickup supports clear communication.
High-Quality Audio Reproduction: The microphone provides a 30 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response. This broad response range supports detailed and natural speech reproduction. Additionally, its condenser design delivers the sensitivity required for professional voice applications.
Phantom-Powered Operation: The U857QL operates from 11–52V DC phantom power. Therefore, it can integrate with compatible professional mixing consoles, audio interfaces, and installed sound systems. The self-contained design also keeps the installation neat and efficient.
Durable Professional Construction: Audio-Technica designed the U857QL for demanding professional applications. Its rugged gooseneck construction supports frequent positioning and adjustment. Meanwhile, its compact design provides a professional appearance for permanent or semi-permanent installations.
