Audio-Technica U853RW Hanging microphone

The U853RW is the white-finish variant of the U853R cardioid hanging condenser, designed for overhead installations in spaces where a white housing blends more naturally with the ceiling architecture — including concert halls with white suspended ceilings, churches, and modern conference facilities. Acoustic performance is identical to the black U853R; only the finish differs to meet aesthetic requirements of specific installation environments.

White Finish for Ceiling Integration

White or off-white ceilings are common in many performance and conference spaces. The U853RW's white housing reduces the visual contrast of the suspended microphone, making it less apparent against light ceiling surfaces while providing the same cardioid overhead coverage as the standard black model.

Identical Acoustic Specifications

Frequency response, self-noise, sensitivity, and polar pattern are identical to the U853R. The U853RW operates on 11–52V phantom power and covers 30 Hz to 20 kHz, retaining all the performance characteristics required for choir, orchestral, and speech reinforcement overhead applications.
