Ahuja SGM-40 Shotgun Microphone: Sleek Low-Profile Audio Solution

The Ahuja SGM-40 is a premium, 225mm (8.80″) shotgun-style microphone specifically designed as an alternative to traditional goosenecks for the DCW-8500 Digital Wireless Conference System. Compatible with the DCW-8501C Chairman and DCW-8502D Delegate units, it offers a sophisticated, low-profile aesthetic that is highly favored in modern executive boardrooms, high-level corporate offices, and premium meeting spaces.

Despite its compact length, the SGM-40 features a highly directional pickup pattern that captures the speaker’s voice with incredible precision while minimizing side-interference. Its robust build and “shotgun” design make it perfect for environments where a clean table-top look is desired without compromising on Ahuja’s signature audio reliability.

 

Key Features:

► Compact 225mm Low-Profile Design

The shorter length provides a sleek, non-intrusive appearance on conference tables, ensuring that the speaker’s face remains visible to other participants and cameras.

 

► High-Directional Shotgun Pickup

Engineered to focus on the speaker directly in front of the mic, significantly reducing the pickup of ambient room noise and neighboring delegates’ voices.

 

► Integrated Active Ring LED

Includes a built-in red ring LED at the tip of the microphone that glows when the unit is live, providing immediate visual feedback to the speaker and moderator.

 

► Threaded Secure Connection

Features a specialized multi-pin threaded connector that locks firmly into the wireless base unit, ensuring stable signal transmission and preventing physical wobbling.

 

► Premium Acoustic Transparency

The internal capsule is tuned for high sensitivity and speech clarity, ensuring that even at a distance, the speaker’s voice remains natural and highly intelligible.

  (For clear, focused voice capture in noisy environments)

System Compatibility (DCW-8500 Ecosystem)

The SGM-40 is a modular accessory designed to be used with:

• Ahuja DCW-8501C: Wireless Chairman Unit Base
• Ahuja DCW-8502D: Wireless Delegate Unit Base
• Ahuja DCW-8503R: Works with the host unit’s built-in feedback suppression

 

Installation & Best Practices

• Locking Mechanism: Always ensure the threaded nut is fully tightened to the wireless base to avoid intermittent audio or static.
• Angle Adjustment: Since shotgun mics are highly directional, ensure the mic is pointed directly toward the speaker’s mouth for the best gain.
• Handling: Avoid covering the side slots of the shotgun tube, as these are critical for the microphone’s directional interference-rejection properties.
• Cleaning: Use a dry, soft cloth to clean the mesh and tube to prevent dust buildup from affecting the acoustic performance.
