RTS PH-16 A4F Dual-Sided Full Cushion Hearing Protection Headset / Noise-Canceling Mic / A4F

Description

The PH-16 headset is a durable monaural hearing protection headset designed for communication in noisy environments. It combines hearing protection and a noise-canceling dynamic microphone to keep transmissions intelligible even in high ambient noise. The headset is engineered to fit under helmets and provides an environmental protection agency noise reduction rating of 24 dB.

Key features include foam-lined ear cups and vented foam-filled ear cushions that create a reliable acoustic seal and add comfort during extended wear. The dynamic receivers are mounted to resist shock, vibration, and acoustic feedback – improving audio stability. Receivers and ear cushions are field repairable to reduce downtime and extend service life.

Technical performance covers an audio bandwidth from approximately 200 Hz to 6 kHz and an impedance of 150 ohm to match a wide range of intercom interfaces. Sensitivity is specified at -65 dBV for the microphone and the product weight is approximately 1 lbs. Cable termination options include XLR 4-pin female or XLR 4-pin male configurations depending on system needs.

Connectivity is provided via a 6 ft cable terminated in the specified XLR 4-pin connector – compatible with many broadcast and intercom systems. The headset uses a noise-canceling dynamic microphone element that focuses on voice pickup while rejecting background noise. The single-ear (monaural) design preserves situational awareness while enabling clear communications on one side.

Typical applications include production and broadcast intercoms, stadium and event communications, and field operations where helmet use and hearing protection are required. The PH-16 supports talkback and team communications in loud environments where both hearing protection and intelligible voice reproduction are needed. Its construction makes it suitable for repeated on-site use and rough conditions.

Installation and everyday use are straightforward – the headset fits under helmets and connects via a standard XLR 4-pin connector to compatible belt packs and intercom bases. The foam-lined cups and vented cushions balance comfort and seal for long shifts. Field-repairable components and shock-resistant receiver mountings simplify maintenance and extend lifecycle value.
