Maintaining the Audio-Technica tradition of clear and transparent sound quality, the U853A cardioid condenser hanging microphone is ideal for speech, theater, orchestra and choir sound reinforcement and recording. The microphone's fast transient response and low distortion characteristics allow every complex detail to be heard with all its impact-rich, vibrant qualities faithfully reproduced. Equipped with UniGuard® innovations that offer unsurpassed immunity from radio frequency interference, the U853A accepts interchangeable elements, available in cardioid, hypercardioid, omnidirectional and UniLine® line cardioid polar patterns. The battery- or phantom-powered microphone also offers an 80 Hz low-cut UniSteep® filter that reduces pickup of low-frequency ambient noise.

Shure MX412SE/C 12-inch (30 cm) Gooseneck Condenser Microphone, Shock Mount, Flange Mount, 10-foot (3 m) Side-Exit Cable (or Bottom-Exit), Snap-Fit Foam Windscreen, In-Line Preamp, Cardioid.
Shure Microflex MX412SE/C microphones are miniature gooseneck-mounted electret condenser microphones designed for speech and vocal pickup. Their high sensitivity and broad frequency range make them suitable for recording, as well as sound reinforcement applications.
The MX412SE/C microphone can be screwed onto a mic stand or the supplied 5/8 inch 27-threaded flange. They can be easily changed from side-exit to bottom-exit to conceal the cable. All models include an in-line preamplifier and a 3 m (10 ft) cable. Each microphone is available with interchangeable cardioid, supercardioid, or omnidirectional cartridges. |
- Cardioid polar pattern
- 10 m (33 ft.) cable
- 125° pickup angle
- Especially suited for choir recordings
- Integrated spring steel clamp for optimum alignment
The new CHM 99 Condenser Hanging Microphone provides both ease of use and a high level of functionality. There is hardly any more affordable and simpler solution for recording choirs at worship centers. Suspended from the ceiling or a beam, the hanging microphone is aligned and then fixed in the correct position. Now use the spring steel clamp to adjust the correct angle, and off you go!
The CHM 99 is available in white or black.
XY stereo recording
Using two CHM 99 hanging microphones in an XY configuration (coincident pair) is a good way to make stereo recordings, particularly of choirs. However, sound source locations are defined only by intensity differences. Adjusting the angle between the microphones determines the width and depth of the stereo image.
ORTF stereo recording
Developed by the French Broadcasting Authority, this technique differs from the XY technique by recording not only intensity differences, but also delay differences. The capsules are aligned at an angle of precisely 110° and 170 mm / 6.7 in. apart.

- Hypercardioid polar pattern
- 38 cm long
- 95° pickup angle
- For acoustically difficult environments
- Connects easily via XLR connector
The hypercardioid polar pattern with its narrow 95° pickup angle is suited best for situations where noise typically occurs from all sides (particularly in worship centers), where people talk into the microphone from a greater distance, or where several talkers are grouped side by side. Two different lengths are available. The .exible joint ensures optimum alignment of the gooseneck to any talker position. Several options are available for installation, i.e., stand, tabletop installation, and lockable.
Choosing polar patterns
Selecting the correct polar pattern for installed sound is difficult since it depends on a variety of factors. Of course the acoustics of the room play a key role. For highly reverberant rooms such as worship centers, a hypercardioid polar pattern will be the best choice to avoid high levels of unwanted noise. Correct placement of the loudspeakers is also essential. If the speakers project right at the capsule, a hypercardioid will be your best bet. The most difficult task, however, is trying to judge how the talkers will behave. For talkers who are inexperienced or move around a lot, be sure to choose a cardioid polar pattern for reliable pickup; talkers at a greater distance from the mic will be served best by a hypercardioid.
