Technical Highlights and Benefits
HOLMCO’s MW-50 desk microphone is fully designed and manufactured in Germany according to the highest quality standards. The desk microphone’s robust design ensures a long life cycle, which results in reduced overall costs thanks to minimal maintenance requirements and easy repairability. Additionally, our fully in-house design, development and production process enable us to tailor the MW-50 to your specific requirements, such as adding a custom connector.
Our MW-50 desk microphone is more compact than a conventional gooseneck microphone, making it easier to integrate into a cabin’s control panel. We reduced background noises by optimizing the directional characteristic of the microphone’s dynamic sound transducer. The desk microphone features a speaking distance of up to 0.8 m and an audio gain of 65 dB, which enables operators to comfortably speak from various positions while maintaining excellent voice clarity.
The MW-50 desk microphone is a robust, long-lasting product that is designed and tested according to EN 50155:2021 and meets the IP54 degree of protection. It is ideal for reliable, high-quality voice communication applications in railway environments.
