The Audio-Technica BPHS2SA Single-Ear Broadcast Headset delivers high-fidelity vocal reproduction specifically for news and sports broadcasting applications. This single-ear headset allows for clear one-ear monitoring while maintaining awareness of the surrounding environment. The low-profile, closed-back design draws from the ATH-M60x professional monitor headphones to ensure professional-grade sound quality and reliability in demanding field environments.
The headset features a proprietary 45 mm large-aperture driver equipped with rare earth magnets and a copper-clad aluminum wire voice coil. This configuration provides the same high-fidelity performance found in professional studio monitors. A low-impedance design ensures the BPHS2SA delivers a high output level from any headphone output, making it compatible with various broadcast equipment.
The integrated hypercardioid dynamic microphone focuses pickup on the broadcaster's voice while rejecting ambient noise in loud environments. The frequency response is specifically tailored to provide a rich, commanding, and broadcast-ready vocal sound. For precise placement, the microphone sits on a rigid boom featuring a strong, flexible gooseneck section. The boom swivels both forward and backward, allowing users to position the microphone on either the left or right side of the head.
Audio-Technica utilizes key metal components throughout the BPHS2SA to ensure lasting durability during rigorous use. Comfort is prioritized through the inclusion of a premium memory foam earpad, a memory foam headband, and a dedicated temple pad. These components facilitate comfortable wear during extended broadcasting sessions. For easy maintenance, the pads and headband are detachable and replaceable.
The headset includes a 3.0 m (9.8') detachable BPCB2 cable. This cable utilizes a TA6F connector at the headset connection point. The output end features a 3-pin XLRM-type connector for the microphone signal and a 6.3 mm (1/4") connector for headphone monitoring.
