Featuring breakthrough audio and mechanical design innovations, the phantom-powered U851R offers outstanding speech intelligibility and transparent sound quality for surface-mount applications. The microphone is equipped with a PivotPoint® rotating output connector, UniSteep® filter and UniGuard® RFI-shielding technology. It accepts interchangeable condenser elements available for boundary microphones in cardioid, hypercardioid and omnidirectional polar patterns. With a heavy die-cast case and silicon foam bottom pads to minimize coupling of surface vibration to the microphone, the U851R is equipped with self-contained electronics, eliminating 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


• 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)


• Self-contained electronics eliminate need for external power module


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


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


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


• Available in two colors: black (U851R) and white (U851RW)
