The 26-II headset series and the HD 26 PRO headphones

The HMD 26-II/HME 26-II/HMDC 26-II headsets and the HD 26 PRO headphones feature dynamic, closed headphones. The noise-compensating microphone of the HMD 26-II and HMDC 26-II ensures excellent speech transmission even in noisy environments.

The headsets have been designed for broadcast use, e.g. for outdoor broadcast or broadcast van applications. The HMDC 26-II features NoiseGard™ professional active noise compensation. The HME 26-II is available with an omni-directional or a cardioid microphone, making it suitable for either outdoor or studio use.

Features

• Lightweight

• Extremely comfortable to wear, even for extended listening, due to the patented two-piece automatic headband and soft ear pads

• ActiveGard™ (switchable) safeguards you from volume peaks above

• NoiseGard™ professional active reduces ambient noise by up to 18 db (HMDC 26-II)
