Hard wiring a wireless headset.


Talking Head

Recommended Posts

Greetings. This is my first post and hope you folks can help me with a project I am thinking of doing. I currently call play by play for different sporting events and other public speaking venues. I am set up so I am within touching range of my mixing board all the time, but once I get it set I do not like to mess with it and other times it is futher away than what I can get to. I am currently using a Crown CM-311A headset with an XLR output hooked directly to my board. I have a belt pack which allows me to turn the mic on and off without touching the sound board. I like the headset but I have had it for 6 years and it is starting to wear out. I would like to upgrade to another headset, but I cannot find one that is configured like my Crown, but does not have the boom in front of my lips. What I want to do is order a Audio-Techinica BP892-TH and hard wire it into the Crown belt pack. Can it be done and what would the wiring pattern be? I have no problem wiring and soldiering, just need to know what wires go to what connections. Thank you to any of you that can give me some help.

the hmd 26 headset has a function when the boom mic arm is turned parallel with the headband the mic mutes, which can be annoying or convienient

The Daltech is, far and away, the most common announce box I see in the field.  Reliable and built like a brick outhouse.

 

HBO Boxing went from those to the Studio Tech 233's for a bit (their lead A2 hated them), but have since switched to the Lance Design ADX-120's.  It's an interesting system that uses Cobranet (audio over standard TCP/IP) with dedicated hardware to address the needs (Local comms and IFB power, etc) of the broadcast market.  A fiber connected network switch is used to link the system back to the truck outside.

 

Riedel also has a great panel, but as the majority of the major OB trucks here use RTS systems instead of Artist, it doesn't offer much of an advantage.
