Schoeps HSC 4VP/4VXP Headsets with Microphone

Commentators wear the Schoeps HSC 4VP/4VXP headsets, which join Ultrasone headphones and a Schoeps close-pickup microphone on a gooseneck in one unit.

The microphone is a side-addressed cardioid, the CCM 4VP or the CCM 4VXP, with a bass rolloff and a mild high-frequency lift. Right in front of the mouth, proximity effect makes up for the rolloff, so the voice sounds even while background noise is strongly reduced. The microphone also guards well against popping.

The HSC 4VP’s moderate rolloff suits a closed commentary booth or a similarly protected place. The HSC 4VXP has a drastic rolloff made for loud places and is widely used for sports and audio description.

A single cable runs from the headset and splits into an XLR-3M microphone output and a 1/4-inch stereo phone plug for the headphones. A B 5 foam pop screen comes with the headset. For more protection against wind and popping, fit the B 5 D hollow foam pop screen instead.
