Noise-canceling Broadcast Headset: Dynamic Microphone (hyper-cardioid)
Pro Audio Products
Sennheiser : HMDC 26-600-B7
Description
The Sennheiser lightweight headsets in theHMDC26600B7 series, with their closed supra-aural design, have been developed for professional broadcast applications. The headphones are designed for particularly high sound pressure levels. The headsets are exceptionally comfortable to wear while providing a high degree of passive noise attenuation. In contrast to the HMD 26, the HMDC 26 600 B7 is equipped with active noise compensation, Sennheiser’s NoiseGard. This makes the headset particularly suited for use in extremely noisy environments.
The dynamic microphone, with a hyper-cardioid pattern features excellent acoustic performance, with linear frequency response over a broad frequency range up to 16 kHz. Another important feature is it is even less sensitive against structure-born sound. The flexible gooseneck microphone can be used on either the left or right side. Both allow users to make exact adjustments to their individual requirements.
600Ω mono, or 1,200Ω stereo, dynamic hyper-cardioid microphone BMD 424.
