Introducing the ATH-M60x Headphones

Introducing the ATH-M60x Headphones We’re excited to announce the debut of the newest member of the M-Series line, the ATH-M60x On-Ear Professional Monitor Headphones. A-T’s M-Series line includes the critically acclaimed ATH-M50x Professional Monitor Headphones, and the new ATH-M60x headphones utilize the same proprietary driver as that found in the M50x. Developed for broadcast, studio, and mobile applications, the ATH-M60x headphones deliver exceptional clarity throughout an extended frequency range with accurate bass response. The low-profile, closed-back, on-ear design provides excellent sound isolation and a great fit, making the ATH-M60x headphones ideal for professional content creators. The ATH-M60x On-Ear Professional Monitor Headphones will be available in July 2018.

A-T Debuts BPHS2 Professional Broadcast Headsets

A-T Debuts BPHS2 Professional Broadcast Headsets Journalists and newscasters will love the newest professional broadcasting headsets A-T is unveiling at the 2018 NAB Show! Were proud to introduce the BPHS2 and BPHS2C Broadcast Stereo Headsets, and the BPHS2S Single-Ear Broadcast Headset. Each model is ideal for professional use and designed for broadcasting news, sports, esports, and much more. The BPHS2 Broadcast Headsets are based on the new ATH-M60x On-Ear Professional Monitor Headphones and use the same proprietary 45 mm large-aperture drivers. These rugged headsets offer comfort for extended wearing, as well as broadcast-ready vocal reproduction. The BPHS2 is available in three configurations: the standard BPHS2 and the BPHS2S single-ear version, both of which come with a hypercardioid dynamic microphone, as well as the BPHS2C, which comes with a cardioid condenser microphone. Created specifically for news and sports broadcasting, the standard BPHS2 headset features a comfortable fit and excellent sound isolation, as well as a high-output, hypercardioid dynamic microphone mounted on a rigid boom with a strong, flexible gooseneck section. Perfect for reporters in the field, the microphone keeps the pickup focused on the broadcaster’s voice even in loud environments. The BPHS2S is a single-ear version of the dynamic-mic standard BPHS2, offering added comfort and less isolation. Nearly identical to the BPHS2, the BPHS2C offers a sleek, high-output, cardioid condenser microphone rather than a hypercardioid dynamic mic. The three new BPHS2 Broadcast Headset models will be available in July 2018.
