RTS PH-16 A5M Dual-Sided Full-Cushion Hearing Protection Headset / Noise-Cancelling Mic

Description

The PH-16 dual-sided hearing protection headset delivers hearing attenuation and clear two-way communication in noisy environments. It combines foam-lined ear cups and vented foam-filled cushions to provide an acoustic seal and user comfort. The headset is engineered to fit under helmets and to resist shock and vibration for consistent field performance.

The headset includes a noise-cancelling dynamic microphone mounted on an adjustable, flexible boom for accurate microphone placement and reduced ambient pickup. Dynamic receivers are engineered to resist acoustic feedback and maintain consistent output under vibration and impact. Receivers and ear cushions are field repairable to reduce downtime and cost of ownership.

Technically the PH-16 offers a speaker frequency response of 350 Hz – 3 kHz and speaker sensitivity of 93dB SPL/mW. Microphone performance spans 100 Hz – 8 kHz with a sensitivity of -65 dBV/Pa and microphone impedance rated 50-600 Ohm. The headset provides an EPA rated NRR of 24 dB and an output impedance of 150 ohms for predictable audio behavior with professional intercom systems.

Connectivity on the PH-16 is provided via the A5-style connector for integration with compatible beltpacks and intercom interfaces. The headset is dual-sided to support single-channel monitoring on both ears and uses 300 Ohm speaker impedance for robust receiver matching. Physical design emphasizes low profile and compatibility with protective headgear and helmets used in production and field environments.

Typical applications include broadcast and production intercom, field crews working in high ambient noise, and helmeted personnel requiring both hearing protection and clear voice comms. The headset supports environments where mechanical shock and acoustic feedback are concerns and where a secure acoustic seal is required. Its repairable components make it suitable for rental fleets and frequent-use scenarios.

Installation and day-to-day use are straightforward thanks to the flexible boom and replaceable ear cushions and receivers. The headset balances comfort and attenuation through foam-lined cups and vented cushions for extended wear. Built for reliability, the PH-16 combines durable construction and serviceable components to deliver long-term value in professional AV workflows.
