Valcom Remote Microphones

Tune out company static with Valcom remote microphones

Despite their intriguing name, remote microphones are neither space-age spy devices nor employee monitoring units. Their chief purpose is to let you handle a telephone, paging or teleconference unit hands-free. Valcom produces products geared specifically toward paging system applications.

Valcom's communications and paging products may be just the thing to improve communications within your business, but before you commit to installing Valcom remote microphones, make sure you've got the following information lined up:

1. Your preferred Valcom remote microphone vendor

2. Where the paging system will be controlled from, how many microphones you need and where will they be placed

3. Which accessories, available from Valcom remote microphone providers, would enhance the effectiveness of your business operations

 

Pick from a list of Valcom remote microphone suppliers

Purchasing from authorized Valcom remote microphone distributors guarantees that you are purchasing standard Valcom products. This is typically your best means for ensuring that the products you purchase will be compatible with other Valcom products and that you'll have recourse if a product turns out to be defective.
Try: Both Graybar and Anixter offer a full line of Valcom products, including one-way ceiling microphones and speakers, at wholesale prices. If you need other Valcom products you can bundle them into your remote microphone purchase to save on shipping.

Buy only the Valcom remote microphones you need

Make a list of suitable locations for Valcom remote microphones. They can be wall- or ceiling-mounted and offer hands-free operation controlled by your paging unit, so there is no need to put them within arms reach. Keeping them out of reach is in fact preferable, to protect them from accidental bumps and spills.
Try: Neobits and TWAcomm are good places to start looking for special offers on Valcom remote microphones. You can always inquire with customer service about receiving a bulk or corporate discount if you're purchasing a large quantity of remote microphones or other Valcom equipment at once.

Pick up a few accessories from your Valcom remote microphone supplier

Remote microphones won't do you much good if you can't hear what is being said, and the entire paging system is useless if others can't hear you. Valcom system enhancements can help adjust speaker volume and microphone sensitivity by sensing ambient noise and adjusting volumes so that your communications come through clearly.
Try: Consider system enhancements like Valcom's noise sensing volume control for consumer electronics telephones, available through distributors like Electronics Outfitter.
