The Audio-Technica U859QL Cardioid Condenser Gooseneck Mic 18.90" Long is a phantom-powered, quick-mount microphone featuring an integral power module.
The Audio-Technica U859QL is a cardioid condenser gooseneck microphone designed for high-quality sound reinforcement, professional recording, and broadcasting. This 18.90-inch microphone plugs directly into panel- or desk-mounted XLRF-type connectors, providing a reliable audio solution with self-contained electronics. This design eliminates the need for an external power module by operating entirely on phantom power.
The cardioid polar pattern provides superior off-axis rejection, which ensures maximum gain before feedback occurs. For enhanced signal clarity, the U859QL incorporates an 80 Hz low-cut UniSteep filter. This technology delivers steep low-frequency attenuation to reduce the pickup of ambient noise without compromising the quality of the voice.
The microphone features a rugged, small-diameter alternating gooseneck construction. This ultra-flexible component has virtually no “memory,” allowing users to quickly position the microphone into the desired shape. The 18.90-inch length provides the necessary reach for various podium, desk, or panel installations while maintaining a low-profile aesthetic.
Integration is straightforward due to the quick-mount design featuring a 3-pin XLRM-type connector insert at the base. The Audio-Technica U859QL remains compatible with any standard XLRF-type surface or cable connector. This versatile connectivity supports direct installation into specialized panel mounts or standard audio cables for professional environments.
