Engineered for versatile positioning and extremely flexible performance in boardroom, school, government, house-of-worship and other installed applications, the Audio-Technica U857AL microphone features a small-diameter gooseneck with virtually no "memory." Its ultra-flexible, robust design permits easy adjustment into desired shape while resisting inadvertent repositioning. This condenser microphone from Audio Technica direct mounts to any 5/8"-27 stand; it is 16.58" long. Equipped with UniGuard innovations that offer unsurpassed immunity from radio frequency interference. The battery or phantom-powered gooseneck microphone also offers an 80 Hz low-cut UniSteep filter that reduces pickup of low-frequency ambient noise.
