Ahuja GM611 Gooseneck Microphone

Ahuja GM611 Gooseneck Microphone

The Ahuja GM611 is a gooseneck microphone for lecterns, podiums, conference tables and reception counters: the positions where a speaker needs to be heard clearly without holding anything. Its flexible neck is 460 mm (18 inch) long, so it can be bent to meet each speaker at the right height and distance, and its electret condenser capsule covers 100 to 15,000 Hz with a sensitivity of 7 mV/Pa, a response shaped around the human voice. It runs on 3 V to 9 V DC supplied by a compatible base or mixer.

Key features

• 460 mm (18 inch) flexible gooseneck for precise positioning
• Frequency response of 100 to 15,000 Hz for clear speech
• Sensitivity of 7 mV/Pa at standard speaking distance
• 1,000 ohm impedance to match standard PA mixers
• Powered by 3 V to 9 V DC from a compatible base or mixer
• Made for lecterns, podiums, conference rooms and counters

The right microphone for a fixed position

Handheld microphones get waved around, put down and pointed at the floor; a gooseneck stays where it was set, at a consistent distance from whoever is speaking. That consistency is what makes speech intelligible through a whole meeting or service. The 460 mm neck flexes to suit a tall speaker at a lectern or a seated participant at a conference table, and holds its position once set.

Voice-first electrical design

The 100 to 15,000 Hz response covers the full speech band without wasting gain on rumble below the voice, and 7 mV/Pa sensitivity picks up normal speaking levels cleanly. The 1,000 ohm impedance suits the inputs of standard PA mixers and amplifiers, and the microphone draws its 3 V to 9 V DC power from the connected base or mixer supply, so there are no batteries to manage at the position itself.

Getting clear speech from it

Position the capsule close to the speaker’s mouth and slightly off-axis to soften breath noise. Keep the microphone behind the loudspeaker line to reduce feedback risk, and lower the gain if ringing appears. Use a shielded cable, avoid running it alongside mains wiring, and a little time spent on placement will improve clarity more than any tone control on the mixer.

At the desk and the lectern

Conference and council tables benefit from the same discipline: one microphone per seat or per pair of seats, each bent to a consistent height, keeps every voice at a similar level into the mixer and makes the chairperson’s job easier. At reception and service counters, the GM611 gives staff a fixed, always-ready point to speak into without picking anything up, and its slim profile keeps sightlines across the counter clear.

For podiums, conference tables and counters that need dependable, hands-free speech pickup, the Ahuja GM611 offers a long flexible neck and voice-tuned electret performance.
