Sennheiser Electronic Corporation unveiled a new line of headsets at the 117th AES Convention in San Francisco. Since size really does matter in live performance and broadcast situations, where headset mics should be heard and not seen, Sennheiser has designed the HSP2 (omni) and the HSP4 (cardioid) headsets with integrated windscreens.

The HSP headset line is engineered for optimum performance including an ergonomic, 1.1mm diameter, and fully adjustable boom arm, mountable on either side, plus the important, yet unobtrusive integrated windscreen. Constructed of beta titanium materials, the HSP headsets are built to exacting tolerances, yet are flexible. Both headsets are fully compatible with the new Sennheiser intelligent MZA900P in-line pre-amp with dual-color LEDs that report the status of the cable and phantom power. The HSP2 headset is outfitted with the MKE Platinum omni-directional capsule for optimized treble and bass response and easily handles sound pressure levels of up to 142dB. The hermetically sealed capsule and "umbrella" diaphragm protects the microphone against moisture.

The cardioid HSP4 headset uses a newly designed cardioid version of the MKE Platinum capsule. This optimized capsule is designed to deliver greater isolation in acoustically demanding live performance environments where background noise and feedback is highly prevalent.
