Valcom V-400 Dynamic Desk Paging Microphone

Product Description

The VALCOM V-400 is a dynamic desk paging microphone designed for use in commercial and institutional paging systems. It connects to paging amplifiers and intercom systems to allow clear, hands-free voice announcements from a fixed desk or counter location. The dynamic capsule design provides reliable voice pickup without requiring phantom power or external power supplies. This microphone is typically installed by low-voltage communications technicians and audio-visual integrators in facilities that rely on overhead paging infrastructure.

The V-400 is suited for office buildings, schools, warehouses, retail environments, and similar commercial facilities where a dedicated desk-mounted paging source is needed. It works within a paging system topology where the microphone feeds directly into a zone amplifier or paging controller. Its desk-mount form factor makes it appropriate for reception desks, dispatch stations, and administrative offices that require a permanent, accessible paging point.

Key Features

• Dynamic microphone element requires no phantom power or external power supply
• Desk-mount form factor suited for permanent installation at workstations and reception areas

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style desk paging microphone for use with commercial paging amplifiers and intercom systems that accept a standard dynamic microphone input.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a low-voltage communications technician familiar with commercial paging systems. Power down or place the paging amplifier in standby before connecting or disconnecting the microphone. Route signal cabling away from AC power runs to minimize interference. Local building codes and the paging system manufacturer guidelines should be followed for all wiring terminations.
