Broadcast Headsets: Electret Condenser Cardioid Microphone

The Sennheiser closed and supra-aural headsets HME26600(4)XQ are lightweight and designed for use in studio applications at TV and Radio. The headphones are dimensioned for high maximum SPL. HME 26 600(4) XQ provides high wearing comfort in combination with a good noise attenuation. All variants of HME 26 for Broadcast are equipped with ActiveGard which protects the user from volume peaks.

The omni-directional condenser microphone satisfies with perfect acoustic performance and ensures linear frequency response. The gooseneck microphone can be used either on left or right-hand side. The microphone boom allows an individual adjustment at the right position.

600 Ohm per system, pre-polarized condenser microphone (cardioid) BKE 4-4, steel cable with connector XLR-3 and 1/4 inch jack, 3 foot length.
