PSSO WISE Headset Microphone for Bodypack Transmitter, Cardioid (Model 13063411)

The PSSO WISE Headset Microphone for Bodypack Transmitter, Cardioid (Model 13063411) is a wearable vocal microphone designed for hands-free speech and presentation applications. Its cardioid pickup pattern focuses on the speaker’s voice while reducing ambient noise and potential feedback when used with compatible bodypack transmitters. Built to sit securely on the head, this headset microphone is intended for use in live sound, conference rooms, houses of worship, theater, and broadcast environments where clear, directional vocal capture is required.

Advantages

The cardioid design provides directional pickup that improves speech intelligibility by minimizing off-axis noise and room reverberation. Lightweight construction and an adjustable headband offer a secure, comfortable fit for extended wear. The microphone’s placement and pickup pattern help reduce feedback risk on loudstage monitors and PA systems, and the wearable form factor keeps the presenter’s hands free for gestures or instrument playing. Compatibility with standard bodypack transmitters ensures straightforward integration into existing wireless setups.

Suitable for

• Live presentations and public speaking
• Conference rooms and corporate events
• Houses of worship and sermons
• Theater performances and stage work
• Broadcast interviews and on-camera use when paired with a bodypack transmitter

When it may not be suitable

This headset microphone is optimized for speech and vocal presentation rather than high-SPL instrument capture, so it may not be the best choice for close-miking loud instruments such as drums or amplified guitar cabinets. Because it is designed to connect to a compatible bodypack transmitter, it is not a standalone wireless solution; a separate transmitter and receiver system are required for wireless operation.

Key specifications

• Microphone type: Headset, cardioid polar pattern
• Intended use: Vocal/speech pickup for bodypack transmitters
• Mounting: Over-the-head/headset style for hands-free use
• Wearability: Adjustable headband for extended wear
• Noise performance: Directional rejection of off-axis ambient noise

How to use

Position the headset so the microphone capsule sits 1–2 cm from the corner of the mouth, slightly off-center to avoid breath noise. Adjust the headband and boom for a secure, comfortable fit. Connect the headset’s cable to a compatible bodypack transmitter input and ensure the transmitter and receiver are set to the same frequency and gain structure. Perform a soundcheck at typical speaking volume and adjust transmitter gain and venue-level settings to avoid clipping and excessive background noise. When not in use, store the headset in a protective case or pouch to prevent cable strain and capsule damage.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm compatibility with your bodypack transmitter’s connector type and impedance.
• Assess whether a cardioid pickup pattern meets your environment’s feedback and ambient-noise conditions.
• Check headset fit and adjustability to ensure comfort during extended use.
• Plan for required additional components: wireless transmitter and receiver if wireless operation is needed.

Usage recommendations

Place the microphone capsule slightly off-center and maintain consistent distance from the mouth to preserve natural tonal balance and avoid plosive or breathing noises. Use the cardioid pattern to your advantage by aiming the rear and sides toward noise sources and monitors to reduce spill. Regularly inspect the cable and connector for wear, and store the headset in a padded case when not in use.
