Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Help! I want to connect my BPHS to my MacBook pro for Zoom meetings. What do I need to get the microphone in and the earphones out? Do I need a pre-amplifier?

A: The broadcast headset should be used with an audio interface, such as the Focusrite Scarlett Solo 2x2 USB Audio Interface (3rd Generation), B&H # FOSCARSOLO3G. The audio interface would have a mic-pre-amp to accept the male XLR mic output from the headset, and a headphone output for the 1/4-inch stereo connector.

Q: 2. How do I set up Audio-Technica BPHS1 with Rodecaster Pro and a Mac for Zoom calls?

A: The BPHS1 broadcast headset has separate connectors for the microphone and headphones. The XLR connector is the microphone, so that would connect to an XLR microphone input on the RodeCaster Pro while the 1/4" connector from the BPHS1 connects to a headphone output on the RodeCaster Pro. The RodeCaster Pro then connects to your computer via USB.

Q: 3. Hello, can I use this headset for recording songs as a singer using either an Android cellphone or an iPad? Thank you in advance.

A: This headset will not connect to a mobile phone.

Q: 4. I have a technical question, I'm hoping you can help. - I own a Zoom H5. - I have just purchased the BPHS1 - I want to record Skype interviews (for my podcast) but am a little unsure on how to configure Zoom to achieve this. From my Mac, I have a cable that goes from the audio out, into the TRS input #2 on the H5 - to record my guest's voice. My headset/mic will be plugged into the XLR input #1 on the H5 - to record my voice. What do I need to do, to be able to HEAR my guest's voice? Is there anything in particular I need to configure on the H5?

A: The scenario you are describing requires the routing of audio in a way that is a bit more complex, and would best be served by using a mixer and audio interface. Connect the BPHS1 into a mixer like the Alto ZMX862 Zephyr. Take AUX SEND 1 out and plug it into input 1 of an audio interface like the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 USB Audio Interface (2nd Generation). With regards to the skype audio in your computer, Take the master out of the audio interface and plug it into a stereo channel of the alto mixer. Now that all of the audio is in the mixer, take the master output and plug it into your Zoom H5 to record .

Q: 5. Is there a deadcat that works with this?

A: No, there is no deadcat style furry windscreen designed for the BPHS1 headset. The models we have available for other mics seem to be either too short or too long. You could purchase the Piece-A-Fur Wind Protection by Bubblebee Industries to cut a custom size fur windscreen to fit the mic. The fur pieces are available in different colors such as black (B&H # BUBBIPAFBK) and gray (B&H # BUBBIPAFGY). You will see the other options for colors listed on the item page. If you need to replace the foam windscreen, we have the Audio-Technica AT8162 Replacement Windscreens for BPHS1 - 3 Pack (B&H # AUAT8162), as well as the WindTech 1200 Series - 3/4" Inside Diameter - Black (B&H # WI1200B) and the Auray WHF-2040 Foam Windscreen For 3/4" Diameter Microphones (B&H # AUWHF2040).

Q: 6. does this require phantom power?

A: It does not. The microphone is dynamic.

Q: 7. How does this compare to the Beyerdynamics DT297 headset? I've used the 297s for years but it's time to replace or update.

A: The Audio-Technica Broadcast Stereo Headset with Cardioid Condenser Boom Microphone (BH # AUBPHS2C) should compare very well to the Beyerdynamic DT297 headset in actual use depending upon the device it is connected to. NOTE: The Audio-Technica BPHS2C impedance is only 38 ohms.

Q: 8. How long is the included xlr/phono cable?

A: The Audio technica BPHS1 ships with the BPCB1 cable which is 3.3 m (10.8') long. a href= http://bhpho.to/1zeJPSh target= _blank http://bhpho.to/1zeJPSh/a

Q: 9. can you hear your own voice through the headphones?

A: The BPHS1 Broadcast Stereo Headset is a professional broadcasters headset. It is a closed back headset with a cardiod pattern boom mic. These are normally used by broadcasters for sporting events etc. The are normally plugged into a broadcast mixer that can accommodate the 2 different connectors. One 1/4 and one XLR. They operate as a send and receive. The mic goes to the broadcast and the headset allows the broadcaster to hear the director or other broadcasters. This type of headset is not made for home use.

Q: 10. Do these mics need phantom power? I didn't think so, but it won't work with our passive unpowered phone hybrids.

A: Just as Henry H. explained, the mic on the headset is dynamic, so it ould not require phantom power. I use my headset with a small Behringer mixer with phantom power turned off and it works fine.You probably have tried this, but I would suggest making sure your trim and/or gain is turned up because I have found that some mixers resist the signal significantly more than others.I would also suggest listening back with another headset or loudspeaker that you know will work just in case there is a headphone out setting or bad output you are unaware of.
