Beyerdynamic DT 108 200/50 Black — Broadcast Headset for Intercom and Studio Communication

Beyerdynamic DT 108 200/50 Black is a single-ear, closed-back headset engineered for live broadcast and intercom work where the operator must hear both the program feed and the room at once. Built around a dynamic hypercardioid boom microphone and a 50-ohm headphone driver, it delivers clear two-way communication in film, television, and recording environments. Broadcast engineers, camera crews, and intercom operators will find reliable speech intelligibility and rugged daily-use construction here.

What Sets the DT 108 Apart in Broadcast Headsets

Unlike consumer headsets, this model pairs a directional noise-cancelling microphone with a single-sided earcup that leaves one ear uncovered — a deliberate choice for camera operators and floor directors. An interchangeable cable system with a proprietary multi-pin connector lets the same headset be re-terminated for different intercom standards.

Headphone and Microphone Specifications

This headset is specified for professional intercom duty, with parameters that directly affect speech clarity and listening comfort during long shifts.

• Headphone Impedance: 50 ohms — drives higher output from low-voltage intercom beltpacks and portable recorders.
• Headphone Frequency Response: 30 - 20,000 Hz — covers the full speech band plus enough top end for cue and program monitoring.
• Microphone Transducer: Dynamic, hypercardioid — rejects off-axis room noise so the talkback channel stays intelligible on a loud set.
• The microphone impedance of 200 ohms with a 40 - 12,000 Hz response is specifically tuned for professional vocal clarity.
• Weighs just 283 g without cable — light enough for full-shift wear without headband fatigue.

Who Should Choose This Model

The unit is built for broadcast and production professionals who spend their day on a wired intercom loop. Sportscasters, camera assistants, and floor managers will appreciate the single-sided design that keeps one ear on the room while the closed cup isolates program audio. With a 50-ohm headphone rating, it matches Clear-Com, Telex, RTS, and similar party-line intercoms.
