AXIS TC6901 — cardioid gooseneck microphone for the AXIS C6110 paging console
Cardioid condenserXLR phantom power365 mm gooseneckDesigned for 24/7
The AXIS TC6901 (02789-001) is a black cardioid condenser gooseneck microphone with an XLR connection and phantom power, designed as an accessory for the AXIS C6110 Network Paging Console for clear close-up announcements in noisy environments such as warehouses, schools and retail floors.
The C6110 already has a built-in microphone; the TC6901 adds a flexible 365 mm gooseneck that brings the capsule close to the speaker's mouth, so announcements stay intelligible even when the room is loud. The active balanced output, 100 dB dynamic range and 120 dB max SPL handle everything from quiet speech to a raised voice, and the microphone is designed for 24/7 operation from -20 to 60 °C.
Before you order: It needs an XLR input with 11–48 V phantom power. Axis specifies it for the AXIS C6110 Network Paging Console; it does not plug into cameras, USB ports or 3.5 mm inputs.
What's in the Box
- AXIS TC6901 Gooseneck Microphone
- Compatible mount plate
- Snap-fit foam windscreen
What It Means in Practice
- Mount it on the C6110 with the supplied plate and screws; the gooseneck bends to the operator's position.
- Cardioid pickup favours the speaker in front and reduces noise from the sides and behind.
- The foam windscreen reduces breath noise and plosives during announcements.
- Built for always-on reception, security and dispatch desks.
What Will Not Work
- No USB, 3.5 mm or line-level connection — XLR with phantom power only.
- Inputs without phantom power cannot power the condenser capsule.
- Not a plug-in microphone for Axis cameras or audio devices without a phantom-powered XLR input.
- No built-in mute switch or LED is published.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need it if the C6110 already has a microphone?
Not always. It is recommended where the room is noisy or the operator speaks from a distance; the gooseneck brings the mic closer to the mouth.
Can I use it with a mixer or PC?
Axis specifies it for the C6110. Technically it needs any XLR input with phantom power; it has no USB.
Is the windscreen included?
Yes, a snap-fit foam windscreen and mount plate are included.
