Audio-Technica launches the updated UniPoint U891 boundary microphone models featuring a two-state RGB LED status indicator and a touch-sensitive capacitive switch users can set to 3 models.
The new U891 models are equipped with an 80Hz low-cut UniSteep filter to reduce pickup of low-frequency ambient noise, UniGuard innovations promising improved immunity from radio frequency interference and a PivotPoint rotating connector allowing the change of cable exit point without need for tools.
All condenser boundary microphone models feature a heavy die-cast case and silicon foam button pads to minimise coupling of surface vibrations to the microphone. Threaded inserts on the bottom allow mounting with screws for added security. Self-contained electronics eliminate the need for an external power module. All models accept available interchangeable elements permitting angle of acceptance from 100- to 360-degree.
The U891RCb features a wide-range condenser microphone with a cardoid polar pattern. It offers an external contact closure switch allowing users to control a remote device (such as a camera) from a switch on the microphone. Locally, users can set the microphone activation switch to 3 operating modes, touch-on/touch-off, press-to-talk and press-to-mute.
The U891Rb is a cardoid condenser boundary microphone with a local activation switch one can set to 3 operating modes. It is available in either black (U891Rb) or white (U891RWb).
The final U891RbO is an omnidirectional condenser boundary microphone with a 3-mode switch. It is designed fur surface-mount applications, such as high-quality sound reinforcement, professional recording, TV, conferencing and other demanding sound pickup situations.
All UniPoint models are available now.
