Features
• Ideal for sound reinforcement, professional recording and conferencing
• PivotPoint® rotating output connector
• Superior off-axis rejection for maximum gain before feedback
• Outstanding rejection of radio frequency interference (RFI)
• Small-diameter UniPoint capsule near boundary
• Operates on battery or phantom power

Offering outstanding Audio-Technica sound for surface-mount applications, the U851A features a PivotPoint® rotating output connector, UniSteep® filter and UniGuard® RFI-shielding technology. This battery or phantom-powered condenser microphone accepts interchangeable condenser elements available for boundary microphones in cardioid, hypercardioid and omnidirectional polar patterns. Its heavy die-cast case and silicon foam bottom pads minimize coupling of surface vibration to the microphone. With superior off-axis rejection and maximum gain-before-feedback, this professional microphone sets audio-quality standards in challenging acoustic environments.
