Audio Technica U853A Cardioid condenser hanging microphone

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 MX418D-C Gooseneck Cardioid Condenser Microphone

Microflex? Gooseneck microphones bring a whole new meaning to the word flexible
with their fully adjustable gooseneck. Designed for easy replacement and available in
cardioid, supercardioid and omnidirectional polar patterns, the interchangeable cartridges
offer wide frequency response and accurate sound reproduction for a wide variety of applications
such as houses of worship, courtrooms and conference centers. Plus, the condenser cartridges
fit every model in the Microflex product line for enhanced convenience and consistent sound.

Microflex Gooseneck microphones are available in four models with a variety of heights and mounting
styles to choose from. One model includes a silent mute switch with LED indicator, a Shure Microflex
exclusive. And every Microflex Gooseneck features high sensitivity and balanced, transformerless output
for maximum resistance to electromagnetic hum and RF interference, even over long cable runs.

The CMX200 is a 360° revolving gooseneck microphone, designed to be used for conferences, sound reinforcements, translations and studio applications. It has a high sensitive condenser element with a unidirectional cardioid polar pattern which ensures an excellent sound quality and reduces the feedback to a strict minimum, even when exposed to vigorous, hard sound.

Thanks to its flat frequency characteristic, the CMX200 ensures a permanent high-fidelity sound, true to the userʼs voice and intonation. The dark grey color and slimline design permit a discreet blending with every possible interior or background.
