About Gooseneck Microphones at Sound Productions

Find the flexibility you need to get the best sound possible with Sound Productions’ gooseneck microphones. A gooseneck microphone consists of a miniature mic attached to the end of a repositionable cable (the “gooseneck”), which in turn is mounted in a stand that can be placed on a table, desk, or podium. The stand gives you the stability you need for important applications, while its flexible gooseneck makes it easy to move the mic to just the right height or angle.

Popular uses for gooseneck microphones include public address and conference calls. They’re central to many business applications where it’s equally important to achieve both reliable sound and adjustable mic placement, such as lecture halls, houses of worship, paging systems, and educational buildings.
