U873R Handheld Hypercardioid Condenser Microphone

The U873R UniPoint hypercardioid condenser microphone offers smooth, accurate audio reproduction for handheld and fixed-mount applications. The microphone is equipped with A-T’s UniGuard® technology for unsurpassed immunity from radio frequency interference. It also features an 80 Hz UniSteep® filter that reduces pickup of unwanted low-frequency ambient noise. The microphone’s special internal shock mounting eliminates virtually all handling and cable noise. Designed for distortion-free output even in intense sound fields, interchangeable elements (cardioid, hypercardioid and omnidirectional) permit selection of angle-of-acceptance from 100° to 360°.

  • Designed for high-quality sound reinforcement, professional recording and broadcasting

  • Smooth, accurate reproduction for handheld and fixed-mount applications

  • Superior off-axis rejection for maximum gain before feedback

  • Hypercardioid polar pattern reduces pickup of sounds from the sides and rear, improving isolation of desired sound source

  • Integral 80 Hz high-pass filter switch and 10 dB pad switch

  • Accepts interchangeable elements to permit angle of acceptance from 100° to 360°

  • Superior anti-shock engineering ensures low handling noise

  • High sensitivity and high SPL capability

  • Robust design for enduring dependability

Answer: 
Thank you for your inquiry. I assume that you mean the U873R. Yes, both microphones will work well for this application, although the AE5100 would pick up and sound much better.
