Speco Technologies MGS1C Gooseneck Microphone
The Speco Technologies MGS1C is a gooseneck microphone designed for integration into IP security and surveillance systems. This chrome-finished microphone provides flexible audio capture in indoor security deployments, offering straightforward installation and reliable audio connectivity for integrators and system designers.
Overview
The MGS1C delivers audio input capability for security camera systems and control stations where microphone connectivity is required. The gooseneck form factor allows installers to position the microphone at optimal angles for speech pickup and monitoring, making it suitable for reception areas, control rooms, and indoor surveillance stations. Chrome finish ensures durability in standard indoor environments.
Key Features
- Gooseneck design for flexible microphone positioning and directional audio input
- Chrome finish for professional appearance in indoor installations
- Compatible with standard audio input connections on security DVRs, NVRs, and IP intercom systems
- Straightforward installation with minimal integration complexity
- Reliable audio pickup for surveillance, access control, and two-way communication applications
- Durable construction suitable for permanent mounting in security control environments
Integration & Compatibility
The MGS1C integrates with any security system or IP platform that accepts standard microphone audio input. Compatibility extends across DVR platforms, NVR systems, and IP-based intercom and access control solutions. Audio output connects via standard connector types common in security system deployments. The gooseneck design allows positioning in tight spaces or angles that fixed microphone mounts cannot accommodate, providing flexibility in system design and installation workflows.
Package Contents
The MGS1C ships as a complete microphone assembly ready for installation. Standard packaging includes the gooseneck microphone unit in chrome finish and necessary connection hardware for mounting to standard surveillance system input interfaces.

From a system integration perspective, the MGS1C represents a straightforward audio input solution for facilities requiring microphone connectivity in control rooms, reception areas, or monitoring stations. During deployment planning for multi-camera security systems, audio capability often gets overlooked until late in the project—the MGS1C addresses this need without requiring specialized wiring or protocol complexity.
Technical Highlights:
- Flexible Positioning: Gooseneck construction allows 360-degree directional adjustment, enabling installers to orient the microphone toward primary speech sources or activity zones without repositioning the mounting bracket.
- Standard Audio Integration: Connects to any standard microphone audio input found on DVR/NVR platforms and IP intercom systems, eliminating the need for adapter hardware or protocol translation.
Deployment Considerations:
- Ideal for indoor-only applications; chrome finish is not rated for outdoor moisture or temperature extremes.
- Position the microphone within 2-4 feet of primary audio source (reception desk, control station operator position) for optimal speech clarity and noise rejection.
- Verify audio input impedance compatibility with your DVR/NVR audio module before ordering; most Speco-compatible platforms use standard line-level or mic-level inputs.
For integrators building control room or reception area systems, the MGS1C provides plug-and-play audio capability without proprietary licensing or complex configuration. It pairs well with standard IP camera deployments where dual-track recording (video + audio) is required for access control verification or incident documentation.
