These headsets are intended for on-air news and sports broadcasting applications where intelligible voice reproduction and ruggedness is required.
BPHS1 - Stereo, dynamic microphone
These closed-back, circumaural stereo headphones have a 560 ohm, cardioid, dynamic microphone on a 180.1mm flexible gooseneck, that can be positioned to the left or right sides. The dynamic microphone capsule has a frequency range of 40Hz to 20kHz and is designed to pick up vocal sounds whilst reducing the pickup of unwanted background noise.
Each earpiece of the 65 ohms headphone set has a 40mm neodymium driver with a frequency response of 20Hz to 20kHz. The headset has padded, closed-back ear cups and an adjustable headband for best positioning and comfort.
A 3.3 m detachable cable (included) terminates with one balanced 3-pin male XLR for the microphone output and one 6.35mm, stereo jack for the headphone connection. An eight-pin connector terminates the other end of the cable and connects into the socket of the headset. Weight: 264g
Included accessories: 3x windscreens, 1x spare connector screw.
Frequency response: 40Hz to 20kHz, microphone; 20Hz to 20kHz, headphone. Headphone sensitivity: 100dB. Impedance: 65ohms. Weight: 264g, without cable.
BPHS2Sa - Single-ear, dynamic microphone
Audio-Technica BPHS2Sa has been created for news and sports broadcasting. The single-ear, low-profile, closed-back design is based on the ATH-M60x and is said to offer 'highly intelligible and commanding vocal reproduction'. BPHS2Sa has a hypercardioid dynamic microphone for better focus on the voice in loud environments. A rigid boom with flexible gooseneck section allows the microphone to be easily adjusted and then stay in place. The boom is also designed to swivel forward and back so that the headset can be worn with the mic positioned on either the right or left side.
Versions
Frequency response: 50Hz to 14kHz, microphone; 15Hz to 28kHz, headphone. Headphone sensitivity: 102dB. Impedance: 32ohm, 312ohms when limiter switch is on. Weight: 190g, without cable.
BPHS2a - Stereo, dynamic microphone
This headset has been designed for the same applications as the BPHS1 but has an on-ear design and the same 45mm, 38 ohm drivers as the ATH-M60X headphones. The low-profile, closed-back earpieces have memory-foam pads to provide more comfort for longer periods of use. Both ear pads and headband are detachable and replaceable.
A dynamic microphone is positioned on the end of a flexible gooseneck, which in turn is affixed to a solid boom arm. This arm can be rotated so the microphone can be positioned to the left or the right of the user's mouth. A hyper cardioid, directional pickup pattern ensures the focus is on the broadcaster's voice.
