The Senal SMH-1010CH Headset Kit for RTS Systemsis ideal for use with wired and wireless communications systems in TV or radio broadcast, communications systems, and sports applications. The headset features a supercardioid, dynamic microphone that's optimized for clear and intelligible voice communication, while rejecting off-axis sound and minimizing handling noise.

The SMH-1020CH2 is also designed with a flip-up feature that mutes the microphone when swiveled up to a vertical position. The headphone features Senal's 40mm neodymium driver, which delivers wide frequency response and dynamic range to ensure accurate monitoring. The closed-back over-the-ear design and extradeep earcup provide sound isolation even in noisy environments. Thick padding on the headband and ear cup offers comfort throughout sessions of extended use. The headphones are also collapsible, making storage and transportation a cinch.

The SMH-1010CH2 features Senal's twist-locking jack that allows you to easily attach or swap cables and accessories, and expand the compatibility of the headset with Telex and PortaCom wireless systems, broadcast consoles, mixers, computers, and more.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Does the 5-pin male LH-302 separate channels between ears like my PH44? Channel 1 in one ear and Channel 2 in the other ear?

A: The internal wiring for the Telex LH-302 Lightweight RTS Double-Sided Broadcast Headset and the Telex PH-44 Lightweight Dual-Sided Headset is the same.

Q: 2. Should I get these or Sony MDR-7506? They seem very similar.

A: I bought both the referenced Senal and Sony headsets--each is stored and used with separate video cameras. I cannot perceive any audio or comfort differences between these two headsets but I really like the detachable cord feature on the Senal SMH-1000. This lets me switch between the longer coiled cord or short straight cord as needs require--and provides a back-up headset cable in case the other got damaged. As the other reviewer said, you won't go wrong with either headset.

Q: 3. Does this utilize an XLR port to connect?

A: No, the Senal SMH-500 have a 1/4" TRS connector.

Q: 4. Hi, can the audio cable be replaced with other regular cables?

A: The included cable is a dedicated type specifically designed to lock into place. Standard mini stereo cables will not fit.

Q: 5. can you also hook this up a computer?

A: absolutely. I use a USB audio interface to drive mine, but you can also just plug it in to the headphone jack on a laptop or desktop.

Q: 6. Do these headphones have built in mic for use with mobile phones?

A: No built in mic, it reduced headphone audio quality. Any good recording or professional grade headphones won't have a mic built-in.

Q: 10. I own the Audio-Technica ATH-M50x, which I use for film production location sound. I'm looking for a more compact alternative that will take less space in my camera bag. Are the Senal SMH-1000 a good option in that regard?

A: The SMH-1000 is arguably a better choice for monitoring location sound. They are lighter, less bulky, and allow the wearer to pick up environmental sounds much more easily while still providing a clear listening experience.
