Walker W6-500M-00 (50069-001) Amplified Modular Round Mic Black Handset

Walker W6-500M-00 – Amplified Modular Handset with Round Microphone for Public & Emergency Phones

The Walker W6-500M-00 (50069-001) is a professional, amplified handset designed for public help phones, paystations, elevator emergency phones, blue‑light call stations, and industrial communication points. This black handset features a distinctive round microphone grille (traditional “G‑style”) and a built‑in amplifier that boosts incoming audio for clear listening in noisy environments. The modular design includes a heavy‑duty armored coiled cord with standard RJ11 termination, making it easy to replace worn or outdated handsets. Rugged, vandal‑resistant, and weather‑proof, the W6-500M-00 ensures reliable communication in parking garages, transit stations, campuses, and industrial sites.

How It Works

The handset connects directly to your emergency phone base or paystation controller via the modular RJ11 plug on the armored coiled cord. When the user lifts the handset, the hook switch (mechanical or magnetic) signals the phone to go off‑hook and initiate a call (or connect to a dispatcher). The built‑in amplifier boosts incoming audio levels, making the caller’s voice audible even in high‑noise environments (e.g., near machinery, traffic, or crowds). The round dynamic microphone picks up the voice clearly while the amplifier’s gain is factory‑set to optimize standard loop‑start lines. No external power is required; the amplifier draws power from the phone line or local supply, depending on the variant. For a complete dispatch center, pair this handset with a comfortable corded headset from FindHeadsets – ensuring your security staff can monitor calls with clarity and comfort.

Compatibility & Design

The Walker W6-500M-00 is compatible with most analog public telephones, emergency call stations, and paystation systems from Walker, Viking, Talkaphone, GAI‑Tronics, and other major manufacturers. The housing is constructed from high‑impact, UV‑stabilized thermoplastic with a black, non‑reflective finish. The distinctive round microphone grille is a classic design often preferred for its acoustic properties. The armored coiled cord is reinforced against cutting and stretching, extending to over 6 meters (20 feet) and terminating in a standard RJ11 modular plug for easy installation. The handset includes a noise‑canceling or dynamic microphone (round style) and an amplified receiver. It is IP65 rated for dust and water resistance, operates from -40°C to 70°C, and is hearing aid compatible (HAC). All exposed screws are vandal‑resistant (torx or security hex). The part number 50069-001 may refer to a specific cord length or connector variant – please verify compatibility.

Why Choose This Product

Public paystations and emergency phones are subject to vandalism, extreme weather, and heavy use. The W6-500M-00’s rugged construction and reinforced cord significantly reduce replacement frequency. The built‑in amplifier is essential in noisy locations – callers can hear dispatcher instructions clearly, and the round microphone design provides natural voice pickup. The modular RJ11 termination simplifies field replacement – just unplug the old handset and plug in this one. For facility managers, this handset lowers the total cost of ownership and improves safety compliance. The classic round mic grille also matches older paystation designs, making it an authentic replacement part.
