Hi Bob, Contest reflector
The Azden HS-03 Boom Mic/Headset falls somewhere in
between the Heil proset and the bigger Heil unit. It covers your
ears but doesn't swallow them up. They are VERY comfortable. In
the 3 years I have owned them they have not torn or broken.(and
I have dropped and yanked on them many times) The headset comes
supplied with a 1/4 inch phono plug for receive audio and a
1/8th inch plug for Mic audio. They also throw in an 8 pin mic
plug. All you have to do is make an adapter with the 8 pin plug
wired for your particular rig and an 1/8th inch phono JACK on
the other end. I also wired in an RCA phono jack for
PTT/footswitch. I believe this scheme follows the Heil scheme as
far as using the 1/8th inch phono plug for Mic audio.
A caveat! I replaced the mic element with the Heil DX
element on both units. I already owned 2 Heil elements from the
old Heil lighweight units I owned years ago.(YUCK!) If you
already have the elements then you are in fine shape. If you
don't then you'll spend 30 bucks more for a Heil element. The
Azden element is ok but it is equivalent to the Heil standard
element. I like the extra punch of the Heil DX element.But 80.00
dollars total is still 50 bucks cheaper! Changing out the
element is a piece of cake!
