AUDIO TECHNICA U891RCX

Condenser Boundary Microphone 


with Switch

Overview

Designed to deliver easy, flexible control in conference and boardroom installations, the versatile U891R cardioid condenser boundary microphone features an activation switch that can be set to three modes: press-on/press-off, press to talk, and press to mute. The phantom-powered microphone is equipped with a unique PivotPoint® rotating output connector and an LED status indicator. UniGuard® innovations offer unsurpassed immunity from radio frequency interference; interchangeable elements are available in cardioid, hypercardioid and omnidirectional polar patterns; an 80 Hz low-cut UniSteep® filter reduces pickup of low-frequency ambient noise. The microphone’s heavy die-cast case and silicon foam bottom pads minimize coupling of surface vibration to the microphone. The unit’s self-contained electronics eliminate the need for an external power module.

Designed for surface-mount applications such as high-quality sound reinforcement, professional recording, television, conferencing and other demanding sound pickup situations.


Features


Designed for surface-mount applications such as high-quality sound reinforcement, professional recording, television, conferencing and other demanding sound pickup situations

 

An activation switch can be set to any of three operating modes: "touch-on / touch-off," "touch-to-talk" and "touch-to-mute"

 

PivotPoint® rotating output connector allows cable to exit from either the rear or the bottom of the microphone

 

Superior off-axis rejection for maximum gain before feedback

 

UniGuard® RFI-shielding technology offers outstanding rejection of radio frequency interference (RFI)

 

Small-diameter UniPoint® capsule near boundary eliminates phase distortion and delivers clear, high-output performance

 

Heavy die-cast case and non-slip silicone foam bottom pads minimize coupling of surface vibration to the microphone

 

Low-profile design with low-reflectance finish for minimum visibility

 

Improved switch design

 

Available in two colors: black (U891Rx) and white (U891RWx)
