Heil Pro Micro Dual Sided Boom Headset Dual Earpad w/HC6 Cartridge

The Heil PMD-6 Pro Micro™ is a double sided boomset that is similar to the Traveler HTDS, but utilizing the new Heil HC-6 mic element. Both headsets are suitable for broadcast applications. The -3dB points are fixed at 100 Hz and 12 kHz with sensitivity of -57 dB at 600 ohms output impedance (centered at 1 kHz). The microphone audio for the Pro Micro terminates into a 1/8 inch mini male plug. The headphone terminates into a 1/8 inch mini stereo with mini to 1/4 inch supplied adapter. The Pro Micro requires an AD-1 cable, sold separately.

The Pro Micro Dual Side is a very unique high performance dual sided headset, which is outfitted with the HC-6 element. Designed for commercial broadcast applications, the -3dB points are fixed at 100 Hz and 12 kHz with sensitivity of -57 dB at 600 ohms output impedance (centered at 1 kHz.)

The microphone audio for the Pro Micro series terminates into a 1/8” male plug while the head phone terminates into a 1/8” stereo with adaptor.

To adjust the headset simply bend the stainless steel piece that is inside the black padded headband.

Mic Gain: Adjust the mic gain while watching the ALC meter. Adjust so that the audio peaks just fill out the ALC scale and do not go beyond the ALC scale.

Speaker: The 706 speaker works all the time. To turn that off simply plug an empty 1/8” plug into the front headphone jack.

Vox: Set the Vox gain controls for proper activation.

Carrier Balance: If your rig has carrier balance it acts as a type of mic tone control. It is best to listen to yourself in another receiver as you transmit into a dummy load. You are actually moving the carrier + or - 200 Hz above or below the center of the filter network, which causes your microphone audio to change its tonal quality.

The use of the AD-1 series mic adapters allow simple interface with popular transceiver inputs. The adapter is 6” long and has a 1/8” female input jack for the boomset microphone and a 1/4” female that is for the PTT (push to talk) line for the Heil foot switch or hand switch. The 1/4” stereo plug goes into the headphone jack on the transceiver front panel.
