Description
Give lecterns, podiums, and paging control stations a professional flexible-neck announcement microphone with the Valcom V-450, an omni-directional dynamic gooseneck microphone with a 19-inch flexible neck, push-to-talk switch, and mounting flange for permanent lectern or desk installation.
The Telecom Spot Expert Review
The V-450 gooseneck format serves announcement positions where the announcer's position relative to the microphone varies — a lectern in an auditorium, a dispatch console, a podium in a multi-use room — and the 19-inch flexible neck allows the microphone head to be positioned at the ideal pickup distance and angle regardless of the announcer's height or posture. Omni-directional pickup captures voice from any angle at the head, which reduces the careful positioning that cardioid microphones require. Low impedance output matches commercial paging amplifier and telephone interface inputs without a transformer. Push-to-talk switch is the standard control for paging operation — the announcer presses when speaking and releases when done, preventing open-mic noise between announcements. Mounting flange attaches the base to a flat lectern surface permanently. The V-9939B microphone adapter is required for connection to Valcom paging systems and should be ordered alongside the V-450.
