The on-ear closed-back design and ActiveGard limiting technology with three switchable attenuation settings provide hearing protection in high-SPL broadcast monitoring environments. Cable sold separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe HME 26 circumaural variant combines the closed, supra-aural design and ActiveGard hearing protection of the HMD\/E 26 platform with an electret condenser microphone for clear, intelligible voice transmission in outdoor broadcast, ENG, and production environments. The condenser microphone element provides higher sensitivity and more natural frequency response than a dynamic element, making it particularly effective for field interviews and location production where clear voice pickup at lower volumes is needed. ActiveGard is switchable with three attenuation settings. The headphone delivers frequency response suited to program audio monitoring and IFB use. Compatible with Sennheiser Cable 26-II series (sold separately). Boom wearable on left or right side.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSupercardioid Electret Condenser Microphone\u003c\/strong\u003e — Higher sensitivity and more natural voice frequency response than dynamic microphone variants.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eActiveGard Hearing Protection\u003c\/strong\u003e — Three switchable attenuation settings (off \/ 95 dB \/ 110 dB) for hearing protection in high-SPL broadcast environments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosed Circumaural Design\u003c\/strong\u003e — Passive noise isolation for outdoor and high-ambient-noise broadcast environments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBoom Wearable Left or Right\u003c\/strong\u003e — Configurable for either side without tools.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCable 26-II Series Compatible\u003c\/strong\u003e — Modular connector system; cables sold separately.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTypical Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutdoor broadcast and ENG headset communications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBroadcast studio program monitoring and IFB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLive event production floor communications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGovernment and institutional broadcast\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;font-size:14px\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr style=\"background:#f5f5f5\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eParameter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eSKU\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003e700323\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eConfiguration\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eClosed circumaural, dual-sided\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eHearing Protection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eActiveGard: off \/ 95 dB \/ 110 dB (switchable)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eMicrophone Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eElectret condenser, supercardioid\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eCable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eNot included (Cable 26-II series compatible)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdl\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the difference between the HMD 26 and HME 26?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eThe HMD 26 uses a dynamic supercardioid microphone.
