General Description

The BRH441M Broadcast Headset and the BRH440M Broadcast Stereo Headset are developed especially for use in broad­cast and media production. Circumaural ear cups block out background noise, and the dynamic, cardioid microphone delivers natural, highly intelligible vocal reproduction. Wearable on the left or right side, the flexible boom features a flip­up mute func­tion that deactivates the microphone when raised vertically. A detachable cable with unterminated ends enables connection to a variety of devices, and is easily replaceable for a lifetime of use. The BRH440M features stereo monitoring, while the BRH441M leaves one ear open to the surrounding environment.
