Audio-Technica BPHS2S-UT Single-ear broadcast headset with hypercardioid dynamic boom microphone, unterminated

Product Overview

The Audio-Technica BPHS2S-UT is a single-ear broadcast headset with a hypercardioid dynamic boom microphone, supplied unterminated for custom wiring. This broadcast headset with boom microphone is built for news and sports broadcasting, delivering highly intelligible vocal reproduction alongside the convenience of one-ear monitoring. Based on the ATH-M60x professional monitor headphones, it uses the same 45 mm large-aperture driver for high-fidelity, broadcast-ready audio in commercial and studio environments. The unterminated cable lets integrators install the connector required by their broadcast or intercom system.

Product Description

Created especially for news and sports broadcasting, this rugged single-ear headset offers highly intelligible and commanding vocal reproduction along with the convenience of one-ear monitoring. Its low-profile, closed-back design is based on the ATH-M60x professional monitor headphones and includes the same 45 mm large-aperture driver, premium memory foam earpad and headband, and a memory foam temple pad, giving users a high-fidelity headset built to last. The hypercardioid dynamic microphone keeps the pickup focused on the broadcaster's voice, even in loud environments, and is tailored to reproduce that voice with a rich, broadcast-ready sound. The microphone sits at the end of a rigid boom with a strong, flexible gooseneck section that allows the microphone to be adjusted and then stay in place. The boom swivels forward and back so the headset can be worn with the microphone on either the right or left side. The low-impedance design delivers a high output level from any headphone output, and the pads and headband detach for easy replacement. Because the BPHS2S-UT ships unterminated, integrators can fit the connector required by a specific broadcast console, camera, or intercom system. Browse compatible broadcast audio gear at Creation Networks to complete your studio setup. The closed-back design also helps isolate the operator from ambient noise in busy production environments.
