Do you have a photo? It may be asking too much to
expect people to sit through hours of mind-numbing
sports coverage waiting for a glimpse of the announcers'
headsets.

If you are trying to communicate to people who work
in the broadcast industry, you may have a better chance
over on the production sound newsgroup...

I think that I've seen some Fox and ABC sports commentators at NASCA races
(just about the only sports I watch) wearing Sony 7506s, but Sony makes a
number of phones that have a similar appearance. A sticker that Sony uses on
the 7506s and a few other pro phones was definately visible.

AFAIK, Sony 7506s are the most likely regular headphones that you are likely
to see in use. It appears that lots of people are using IEMs these days.

I assumed that the OP was refering to the headsets that
have the attached (on-air) microphone, etc. But you are
correct, he didn't actually specify what it was he was

A headset would have a microphone, a headphone would not.

There is a Sony variant with a microphone. However, I still see more
Telex headsets and old Beyer DT150s around.

You know, I have been seeing more of the HMD26 sets around. Do people really
like them more than the DT150? Not that the DT150 isn't pretty clumsy, but
I don't feel the Sennheiser is much less so.

Sennheisers are the standard in TV sports in general. The HMD-25 is
probably more widely used than the 26, since it's been around for so long.
The 25 does not show up in their current product line, but is still widely
available. The 1/4" plug is for IFB. We use the low-impedance version.

I don't think Plantronics makes any hi-fi headsets, really. But on any live
set you'll find the floor manager wearing a Clearcomm headset, which might well
be a Plantronics product.

But you see, looking at the original question,
'sports announcers' may certainly collectively
wear more than one pair.


for this_announcer in all_sports_announcers:

if this_announcer.company not in ('CBS', 'FOX']:

Good reproduction of square waves requires good high frequency response
to follow the steps, and good low frequency response to keep the tops
flat and low resonance to stop the step frequencies ringing through the
wave tops. To get excellent square wave reproduction is *hard*.

So being able to produce a good square wave at a range of frequencies is
a sign of well balanced reproduction.

The Stax earspeakers are not broadcast phones, and they have absolutely zero
isolation from outside sounds. They are very clean and have extremely
accurate tonality, partly because they do not deform the earlobes and the
transducer sits at some distance from the earlobe. There are no sealed
chamber tuning issues because there is no sealed chamber to tune.

The things that make the Stax so great are also the things that make them a
real pain in the neck. And the drive electronics are a pain too.

I have seen people using them quiet control rooms, but the need for a quiet
control room makes them a problem for me. And they still don't have accurate
stereo imaging because they are still headphones.

I have five or six pairs that I inherited when I bought a competitor out
years ago, but I don't have any of the drive amplifiers for them. I kept
saying I'd build some amp modules but I never needed the things enough to do
it.

Absolutely. They are great for that application and they are great for
editing work too. The exaggerated top end really magnifies background noises,
chair squeaks, and bad tape edits which makes them a great tool for that job.

The isolation was about the best there was when the things came out. These
days there are some higher isolation phones out there, but the 7506 is still
respectable in that regard.

I use them often for field recording work... would not try to judge tonality
or EQ anything using them, but they're great for knowing whether you're too
close to the AC vents.

What is the rate of rise for square wave? Instantaneous? Has to be.


Only in theory...

That would depend on the frequency and SPL, but surely not a major
requirement for a broadcast headset in any case.

The Stax earspeakers are not broadcast phones, and they have absolutely zero
isolation from outside sounds.

Well DUH!!! Now check the thread title again!!!

This is usenet. It is very unusual for a thread not to drift as people
drop in and out.

Yes it's common for people to make an off topic comment, and other
people to then completely ignore what was actually being talked about.
That's fine of course until they start whinging like little babies that
someone else is actually talking about the ORIGINAL topic!

The Stax earspeakers are not broadcast phones, and they have absolutely zero
isolation from outside sounds. They are very clean and have extremely
accurate tonality, partly because they do not deform the earlobes and the
transducer sits at some distance from the earlobe. There are no sealed
chamber tuning issues because there is no sealed chamber to tune.

Not the earspeakers I refer to, but the early version, that is the one
swedish Radio & Television tested. I have heard their Earspeakers and
consider them poorer as analytical tool.

The things that make the Stax so great are also the things that make them a
real pain in the neck. And the drive electronics are a pain too.

True, but I mentioned them because they are usable for mastering, the
7506 was advocated incompetently for that use.

I have seen people using them quiet control rooms, but the need for a quiet
control room makes them a problem for me. And they still don't have accurate
stereo imaging because they are still headphones.

In my opinion the Earspeakers have poorer imaging than the SRD-3, a
previous friend has or had them, unfortunately I have their energizer
box (Nr. 004) in the repair que.

I have five or six pairs that I inherited when I bought a competitor out
years ago, but I don't have any of the drive amplifiers for them. I kept
saying I'd build some amp modules but I never needed the things enough to do
it.

I guess that's supposed to be "whining", but I'm not Geoff!!
