Single Ear Broadcast Headset for News and Sports Commentary
The Audio-Technica BPHS2S is a professional single-ear broadcast headset designed for clear communication and reliable monitoring in news, sports, and live production environments. It combines a closed-back on-ear headphone with a hypercardioid dynamic boom microphone, allowing broadcasters to hear program audio while maintaining awareness of their surroundings. This configuration is ideal for announcers, commentators, and field reporters who need accurate monitoring and focused voice capture.
Hypercardioid Boom Microphone for Focused Speech Pickup
The attached boom microphone features a hypercardioid pickup pattern engineered to focus tightly on the user’s voice while rejecting surrounding noise. Its frequency response is tailored specifically for speech, helping dialogue remain intelligible and consistent even in loud venues. This focused pickup makes the BPHS2S well suited for stadiums, press boxes, and remote broadcast locations.
Closed Back On Ear Monitoring with Clear Audio Response
The closed-back on-ear headphone design helps reduce ambient noise while delivering clear, detailed audio for monitoring. Proprietary large-aperture drivers provide strong output and accurate reproduction, ensuring announcers can hear cues, playback, and program feeds without distraction. The single-ear format supports situational awareness during live events.
Adjustable Boom and Flexible Wearing Configuration
The rigid boom arm includes a flexible gooseneck section that allows precise microphone positioning and holds its place during use. The microphone can be worn on either the left or right side, allowing users to configure the headset to match personal preference or workflow requirements. This adaptability makes the headset comfortable for long broadcast sessions.
Detachable Cable with Custom Termination Options
The BPHS2S includes a detachable 9.8-foot cable that connects to the headset via a TA6F connector. The opposite end features unterminated leads, giving engineers the freedom to install the connector required for their specific broadcast equipment. This flexibility supports integration with a wide range of mixers, intercom systems, and broadcast consoles.
Comfort Focused Design for Extended Broadcast Use
Memory foam earpads and a padded headband provide comfort during extended wear, helping reduce fatigue during long broadcasts. Both the earpads and headband are removable, making maintenance and replacement simple. The durable construction supports daily professional use in demanding broadcast environments.
