The Broadcast Stereo Headset with Cardioid Condenser Boom Microphone from Audio-Technica is designed for monitoring and speech capturing for news broadcasts and sports commentary. The headset features a low-profile, closed-back, on-ear design that minimizes outside ambiance. The attached boom microphone features a frequency response tailored for speech capturing. The headset comes with a detachable 9.8' long cable with a TA6F 6-pin connector at the headset end, and at the other end, a 3-pin XLR male connector for the microphone output and a 3.5mm phone plug for the headphone input.
