Heil Sound ProSet 6 HC-6 element
Boom microphone headset for transceivers, HC-6 dynamic element 100 Hz–12 kHz, phase reverse
The Heil ProSet 6 is the ProSet series boom headset with the HC-6 element, created for broadcast applications: −3 dB points at 100 Hz and 12 kHz, sensitivity −57 dB at 600 Ω.
Product description
Designed for contesters and DXers, the ProSet is a comfortable, versatile and rugged headphone and boom microphone combination. The ear cups are full size, with well-padded cushions for long sessions; the covers can be removed for washing and spare elements are available.
In addition to passive noise isolation, it has the Heil phase reverse switch, which creates a spatial widening effect and in some situations greatly improves listening in pileups.
The speakers are 200 Ω nominal with the −3 dB point at 8000 Hz: this combination greatly reduces the hiss from the receiver audio stages. They have medium sensitivity and are easily driven by most transceivers.
The microphone has a windscreen that does not alter the response and minimises breath pops.
The ProSet 6 requires an optional adapter cable to connect to the transceiver's microphone input.
