The HMD 26-II/HME 26-II/HMDC 26-II headsets and the HD 26 PRO headphones feature dynamic, closed head- phones. The noise-compensating microphone of the HMD 26-II and HMDC 26-II ensures excellent speech trans- mission even in noisy environments. The headsets have been designed for broadcast use, e.g. for outdoor broadcast or broadcast van applications.
Operation Operation Turning the microphone boom The microphone boom can be rotated, allowing the microphone to be worn on the left or right-hand side of the head. Putting on the headset When putting headset, the patented two- piece headband adjusts automatically.
