A light, head-worn microphone with a slim boom arm that holds a small capsule close to the mouth, so your voice stays clear and even while your hands stay free and you keep moving.
It is the natural choice for presenters, trainers, fitness and aerobics instructors, performers, houses of worship and event hosts who cannot stand still behind a stand.
A headset microphone is a body-worn speech microphone.
Instead of holding a handheld mic or leaning into a stand, you wear a light adjustable band over the ears, and a thin boom arm positions the capsule right beside your mouth.
Because the capsule stays a fixed short distance from your lips, your recorded level stays steady as you turn your head, gesture or walk across a stage or studio floor.
The connection is either wired, using a 3.5mm or XLR lead to a bodypack or a mixer, or the headset is part of a wireless system with its own transmitter and receiver.
Which one applies is confirmed on our actual unit at handover, so you know exactly what you are plugging into before the event.
The capsule type and pickup pattern are typical headset values and are checked on the physical unit rather than taken from a brand datasheet, because this is a supplier item rented as it is.
