Overview

Omnidirectional Condenser Boundary Microphone

The phantom-powered U851RbO omnidirectional condenser boundary microphone offers outstanding speech intelligibility and transparent sound quality for surface-mount applications such as high-quality sound reinforcement, professional recording, television, conferencing and other demanding sound pickup situations. The omnidirectional microphone is equipped with a PivotPoint rotating output connector, UniSteep filter and UniGuard RFI-shielding technology. 

Key Features:

  • Designed for surface-mount applications such as high-quality sound reinforcement, professional recording, television, conferencing and other demanding sound pickup situations
  • Superior off-axis rejection for maximum gain before feedback
  • PivotPoint rotating output connector allows cable to exit from either the rear or the bottom of the microphone
  • Small-diameter UniPoint element near boundary eliminates phase distortion and delivers clear, high-output performance
  • Available interchangeable elements permit angle of acceptance from 100° to 360°

It accepts interchangeable condenser elements, available separately, in cardioid and hypercardioid polar patterns. With a heavy die-cast case and silicon foam bottom pads to minimize coupling of surface vibration to the microphone, the U851RbO is equipped with self-contained electronics, eliminating the need for an external power module. Threaded inserts on the bottom of the microphone allow it to be mounted with screws for increased security.

Additional Features:

  • UniGuard RFI-shielding technology offers outstanding rejection of radio frequency interference (RFI)
  • Self-contained electronics eliminate need for external power module
  • 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
  • Threaded inserts on bottom of microphone allow it to be mounted with screws for increased security
