DT 297 PV MK II 80 Ohm — Closed Broadcast Headset with Condenser Boom Mic

The Beyerdynamic DT 297 PV MK II 80 Ohm is a professional closed-back headset engineered for broadcast, moderation, and live work. It combines a circumaural dynamic headphone driver with an integrated cardioid condenser boom microphone on a flexible gooseneck, giving on-air talent and podcast hosts a single solution for monitoring and talking back. The DT 297 PV MK II 80 Ohm is the right choice for broadcasters and podcasters who need studio-grade speech clarity with reliable isolation from ambient noise.

What sets this broadcast headset apart

Unlike most dynamic-mic headsets, this model uses a back-electret condenser capsule with extended bass response and high gain-before-feedback, so voices sound full and intelligible even in untreated rooms. The boom rotates for left- or right-side wear, and the elasticated gooseneck suspension keeps mechanical noise off-air. Enhanced RFI shielding protects the signal from GSM, DECT, UMTS, and Tetra interference common in event venues.

Headphone and microphone specifications for broadcast use

The closed design and circumaural earpads deliver roughly 16 dB of passive ambient-noise attenuation, while the dynamic neodymium driver reproduces a wide 10–30,000 Hz range at 100 dB SPL nominal sensitivity. The condenser microphone capsule handles up to 132 dB SPL and runs on standard 12–48 V phantom power, compatible with broadcast consoles, audio interfaces, and camera inputs.

• Headphone Impedance: 80 ohms — pairs directly with broadcast consoles, mixers, and camera returns without an extra headphone amp.
• Headphone Frequency Response: 10–30,000 Hz — wide-range reproduction tuned for human speech intelligibility.
• Professional performance is guaranteed by the back-electret condenser microphone with cardioid polar pattern, acting as a high-output capsule with feedback rejection and noise cancellation.
• Microphone Max SPL: 132 dB — handles loud on-air moments without distortion.
• Weight (without cable): 240 g — light enough for long moderation sessions.
• Ambient Noise Attenuation: approx. 16 dBA — passive isolation from studio and venue noise.

Built for broadcasters, podcasters, and live-production hosts

This instrument suits radio presenters, podcast hosts, live-stream moderators, and OB-van crews who need a single headset for monitoring and talking back. The rotatable boom and padded headband keep it comfortable across long shifts, while the cardioid condenser capsule keeps voices clear even in untreated spaces. The headset ships without a cable — select the appropriate K 190.xx cable for your console, camera, or interface.
