About the Clear-Com CC-400-X4 Double-ear 4-pin Female XLR Headset
The Clear-Com CC-400-X4 is a professional double-ear, noise-isolating communication headset designed for mission-critical environments where reliable and clear audio is paramount. It features a robust, over-the-head design with two high-quality dynamic receivers, one for each ear, ensuring that communication is heard clearly even in extremely loud and chaotic settings such as live sports broadcasts, concert stages, theatrical productions, and industrial sites. The fully enclosed earcups are padded with soft, replaceable foam and leatherette cushions that provide effective passive noise isolation, allowing the wearer to focus on the intercom dialogue without being overwhelmed by ambient noise. The headset is built on a durable, adjustable metal headband with a flexible, padded top for extended wearing comfort during long shifts.
At the heart of its functionality is the integrated electret condenser microphone, which is mounted on a flexible, adjustable boom that can be precisely positioned close to the mouth. This microphone features exceptional voice clarity and incorporates advanced noise-canceling circuitry to minimize the pickup of background sounds, ensuring that the user's transmissions are intelligible to the rest of the team. The headset terminates in a standard 4-pin female XLR connector, which is the industry-standard connection for most professional wired intercom systems, including those from Clear-Com and other major manufacturers. This direct connection provides reliable, low-latency communication without the need for batteries or wireless transceivers.
Engineered for durability, the CC-400-X4 is constructed with high-grade materials to withstand the physical demands of production environments. The cable is typically a thick, coiled design that offers significant stretch and retraction, preventing tangles and providing freedom of movement without putting strain on the connection. The headset's design prioritizes both performance and user comfort, making it an essential tool for directors, stage managers, camera operators, and technicians who depend on flawless, uninterrupted communication to coordinate complex live events safely and efficiently.
