Radiosport RS-60CF Headset with M360 Electret Condenser Mic

This RS-60CF deluxe “dream” edition dual-receive boom-mic headset is fitted with the  unique M360 high output electret condenser microphone.

This headset and mic offers very high output required for a variety of new generation SDRs, which have been developed to use an electret mic.

This reflective noise cancellation design coupled with high output makes this microphone ideally suited for early (or any) ICOM radio and a favourite of Elecraft K3 and KX3 owners.

The high output M360 electret condenser microphone is ideally suited for radios that have low built-in microphone amplification. This is the extended SSB, AM and FM microphone of choice!

• Developed Specifically for Amateur Radio

The RS-60CF is the top model in the line of Radiosport headsets. The manufacturer developed these top quality headsets specifically for amateur radio, after having used motor racing crew headsets for his own amateur radio activities. The Radiosport headsets offer the highest level of comfort when wearing the headset for long hours, and also exceptional durability. The Radiosport headsets have been developed with features to last a lifetime.

The robustness of the RS-60CF is a result of the use of excellent materials and workmanship. The speaker shells are made of reinforced carbon-fibre, and the holder and frame are made of light-weight powder coated stainless spring steel. Due to the extra thick ear pads, which are gel-filled, these headsets are extremely comfortable to wear. This enables you to use this headset for many hours, such as during a contest, without fatigue. Furthermore, the ear pads are covered with a removable, washable cotton fabric.

A specialty of the Radiosport headsets is the secondary headphone connector. This connector (3.5mm phone) is integrated on the right hand side of the headset and allows connection to a second set of earphones, for example for the second operator during a contest. The RS-60CF headset weighs approx. 550g.

• Noise Reduction Headsets

This headset offers a 24 dB external noise reduction through comfortable ear cups and muffs.

• Speakers

The headsets feature 32 Ohm drivers that closely match headphone volume with normal speaker volume.

Frequency response of 200Hz to 6000Hz means weak signals are not covered up by high frequency atmospheric or audio amplifier noise, and the 200Hz low end cut-off provides superb rich voice articulation and excellent narrow passband CW reception.

These phenomenal drivers also have low drive power requirements, yet exhibit exceptional dynamic range. There’s nothing like these headphones.

• Interchangeable Microphones

Various microphones are available for the Radiosport headset, for example dynamic and electret condenser microphones with different frequency responses.  All mic booms feature quick change, military style mic connectors, so that mics can be matched to suit your particular radio. So whether you own an early ICOM HF radio that needs a high-output electret condenser mic or the latest ELAD SDR that needs a quality noise cancelling dynamic mic, we’ve got you covered.

• Interchangeable Headset-To-Radio Cables

Each RS-60CF headset requires a separate headset-to-radio cable, depending on your particular radio. Please refer to the separate “Cable Options” tab for connection cable details.

Each headset RS-60CF requires a separate connection cable, suitable for the radio. On the headphone side, the cable is fitted with a professional micro XLR connector. On the radio side, the appropriate connectors for phones and microphone are used. Integrated into the cable is a selector switch Stereo/Mono. PTT keying is done by the PTT button on the side of the headset, by Vox or by a separate PTT key via the accessory PTT connection (see below). Only a few connecting cables offer a PTT branch, refer to the part number ending in “PT”.

The Headset-To-Radio Cables are Kevlar reinforced and Teflon insulated.
