The D7 Large Diaphragm Dynamic Microphone from ART features an integrated high-pass filter and a midrange-boost switch that allows for tailoring of the microphone to specific applications. It can be used to capture audio and provide excellent feedback rejection for vocals and a wide range of solo instruments including background brass, woodwinds, acoustic string instruments, guitar amps, and more.

The D7 offers a full frequency response at the front of the microphone with a very controlled and predictable proximity effect. Experienced vocalist can easily incorporate it as part of their overall microphone technique. This is useful when the D7 is used as an announcement microphone in broadcast studio.

Furthermore, the microphone is built with a precision-tooled body and has a dent resistant stainless steel wire-mesh windscreen, which ensures long term reliability. The D7 comes equipped with a custom shockmount. An aluminum carry case is also included.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Would the M3 MacBook Pro accept this as a microphone, or do I need to use an interface with it?

A: The RODE HS2 Lightweight Headset Microphone is wired with a TRS locking 1/8" (3.5mm) connector, primarily for use with a compatible wireless transmitter. In order to connect the mic to the MacBook Pro, you would need to use the RODE VXLR+ 3.5mm TRS Female to XLR Male Adapter with Phantom Power Converter (B&H # ROVXLRP) and connect the mic to an XLR input on a USB audio interface that can supply phantom power. The adapter will convert the phantom power to the proper amount of voltage to power the mic. If you want to use a microphone that can connect directly to the MacBook Pro without the need for any other hardware, I would recommend the RODE SmartLav+ Lavalier Condenser Microphone for Smartphones with TRRS Connections (B&H # ROSMARTLAVP) together with a headset mount such as the RODE LAVHS-MED Headset Mount for Lavalier Microphones - Medium (B&H # ROLAVHSMED).

Q: 2. There is another version of ART Spliter: ART ProSplit with one input and two outputs. Does ART SPLITCom do whatever ART ProSplit do? ART ProSplit costs more than ART SPLITCom, though.

A: The units I bought are can be used either as a splitter (two outputs for one input) or a combiner (two inputs merged into one output).

Q: 3. What Rode transmitter is compatible with this? No the wireless go right?

A: The Rode HS2 Headset Mic can be used with any of the Rode wireless transmitters that have a locking or a non-locking 3.5mm TRS input. Rode's tech support has confirmed that the locking ring on the mic's connector is removable so the HS2 can be used with Rode's Wireless GO, Wireless GO II, and RodeLink transmitters, as well as with wireless transmitters from other manufacturers that use the same type of locking 3.5mm TRS connector with Sennheiser style wiring or with recorders like the Zoom F2 and the Tascam DR-10L which both have a locking 3.5mm TRS mic input, and recorders and cameras that have a standard non-locking 3.5mm TRS mic input. Older versions of the HS2 that do not have a removable locking ring can be used with the RodeLink transmitters and other transmitters that have a locking 3.5mm TRS connector with Sennheiser style wiring, as well as with recorders with a locking input like the those mentioned above.

Q: 4. Are the Polsen headphones included in the complete pack any good?

Q: 5. Can I use this headset with shure ULXD and AD Series??, I need some Adapter or change the pinout of the connector??

A: We unfortunately do not have any adapters available that will convert the locking 3.5mm TRS male connector on the Rode HS2 Lightweight Headset Microphone to a TA4 4-pin mini XLR female connector for compatibility with Shure wireless transmitters. However, we do have other headsets that are compatible with Shure wireless transmitters such as the Shure WBH54T Beta 54 Headworn Vocal Microphone - Tan (B&H # SHWBH54T), the Shure DH5 DuraPlex Omnidirectional Headset Microphone - Tan (B&H # SHDH5TOMTQG), the Galaxy Audio HSM8 Dual-Ear Headset Mic with 4 Cables - Beige (B&H # GAHS8OBG4MX), the Point Source Audio Series8 Omnidirectional Waterproof Headset Microphone with TA4F Connector for Shure, Line 6, JTS, Trantec, Carvin Wireless Transmitters - Beige (B&H # POCO8WDXSHBE), or the MIPRO MU-53HNSX Dual-Ear Cardioid Headset Microphone for Wireless Transmitters - Beige (B&H # MIMU53HNSX).

Q: 6. Can I use the Rode HS2 with a Sony UWP D21 Wireless Bodypack Transmitter?

A: No, the RODE HS2 Lightweight Headset Microphone is not compatible for use with the Sony UTX-B40 Wireless Bodypack Transmitter for the Sony UWP-D21 Lavalier Microphone System. The internal wiring on the HS2 is different than the wiring used for Sony transmitters. The HS2 is compatible for use with Sennheiser wireless transmitters, but not with Sony transmitters. As a compatible option, you can use the Sony ECM-322BMP Professional Headworn Microphone (B&H # SOECM322BMP), the Countryman Isomax Omnidirectional Headset Microphone for Sony Wireless Transmitters - 1/8" (3.5mm) Locking-Mini Connector, Beige - (B&H # COMHOW5LSN), the Countryman H6 Omnidirectional Headset with Detachable Cable and 3.5mm Locking Connector for Sony Wireless Transmitters - W7 Band, Beige (B&H # COH6OW7LSN), or the Voice Technologies VT DUPLEX Omni Headset Microphone with 3.5mm TRS Locking Connector for Sony Transmitters - S/M, Beige (B&H # VOVT0594) or L/XL, Beige (B&H # VOVT0588).

Q: 9. I do high school basketball play by play with an Irigpro. Can this ART SPLITCOM Pro be used to add another Mic for a second announcer doing commentary during pauses in my play by play while still running both mics through the iRigPro?? What does this do to the sound quality? We use the MIXLR app to do all our basketball games. Thanks, Jay

A: The ART SPLITCom Pro Microphone Splitter/Combiner can be used as desired to combine two microphones into one output signal. It will not allow for individual level control of each microphone however. For a solution that does allow level control, a small mixer such as BH #ARUSBMIX4 would be suitable.

Q: 10. When you use this as a combiner (for example, use two microphones and mix the audio signals from the microphones in this device) can you still split the output signal into two? I just need to use two mics but amplify the sound in a monitor as well as record it in my audio recording device.

A: Thank you for your email. Once the signal is combined you are unable to split the signal output of the combiner.
