SHOWS NEW BPHS1 BROADCAST STEREO HEADSET
— The BPHS1 offers
broadcasters a high-performance integrated microphone and headphone
combination perfect for on-air or live news and sports broadcast,
announcing and interviews —
GV EXPO,
WASHINGTON, DC, December 2, 2009 — Audio-Technica,
a leading innovator in transducer technology for over 45 years, is
showing the new BPHS1
Broadcast Stereo Headset with Dynamic Boom Microphone,
offering natural, highly intelligible stereo reproduction. The rugged
BPHS1 features closed-back circumaural (around-the-ear) ear cups that
were designed to provide maximum comfort and ambient noise rejection
with minimal ear fatigue. The BPHS1 also has a professional boom-mounted
moving coil dynamic microphone that can be positioned for use on either
side of the mouth. It is specifically intended and optimized for on-air
or live news and sports broadcasting, announcing and interviews.
The BPHS1’s
microphone has a unidirectional polar pattern tailored for pickup
of speech with maximum voice intelligibility over a wide frequency
range. A high-performance neodymium magnet in the microphone ensures
a high output level and detailed sound reproduction. The microphone
is more sensitive to sound originating directly in front of the element,
making it useful in reducing pickup of unwanted, off-axis sounds.
The flexible gooseneck boom swivels for easy positioning on either
the right or left side.
The headset’s
dual earphones offer an extended frequency response of 20-20,000 Hz
for smooth, natural sound reproduction. At the heart of each earpiece,
a 40-mm neodymium driver offers impressive power handling ideal for
high maximum sound pressure levels. Generously padded circumaural
ear cups provide acoustic isolation and long-wearing comfort; the
adjustable headband is also crafted and cushioned for listening comfort.
The BPHS1
includes a user-replaceable detachable 3.4 m (11-foot) cable terminating
in two output connectors, one each for the microphone and headphone;
the microphone output is a 3-pin XLRM-type connector, and the headphone
output is a 3-conductor ¼-inch connector. Three windscreens
are also included to protect against noise and pops from breath and
wind. Replacement parts, including the BPCB1 Replacement Cable and
the AT8162 Replacement Ear Pads, will be available separately.
The BPHS1
Broadcast Stereo Headset with Dynamic Boom Microphone will be available
in late 2009 with a list price of $279.00. For more information, please
