Bubblebee Industries The Sidekick Broadcast IFB Earpiece

Built for live news, sports, and studio work, the Bubblebee Industries Sidekick Broadcast is an IFB earpiece whose driver sits inside the ear canal, out of sight of the camera.

It shares the discreet shape and light weight of the Sidekick 3 and adds a larger dynamic driver, tuned for speech, with stronger bass and higher output. The driver also copes better with a sudden loud signal during setup, a common way to damage an earpiece. A reinforced braided cable resists fraying and tangling in daily use, and the cable loops behind the ear and clips to clothing.

It is a mono earpiece with a curly cable and a right-angled 3.5 mm plug for an IFB receiver or interface. The standard cable is 122 cm (48 in), and the long cable, 220 cm (87 in), suits a receiver worn further from the talent. The Round, Satellite, and Christmas Tree eartips and the filters are the same as the Sidekick 3’s, and the Broadcast IEM Clip in the box manages the cable.
