Clear and reliable communication is paramount, especially in dynamic production environments. For this reason, production teams should use wireless intercom systems designed for seamless integration and exceptional audio quality. To complement these powerful systems, there’s a range of high-performance headsets, each tailored to meet specific needs and preferences. 

Let’s explore the options that will help you hear the difference.

Setting the Stage Before the Cameras Roll

Our work starts long before the cameras roll. We collaborate early with stakeholders and key members of the production team. Understanding the creative vision, logistics, and technical needs allows us to build a sound strategy that genuinely serves the project.

When crystal-clear audio and maximum focus are essential, the Riedel Max dual muff headset stands out as an industry benchmark. These robust  heavy duty headsets are engineered to provide exceptional passive noise attenuation, effectively blocking out distractions from loud environments like live concerts, and live sporting events.

  • Superior Noise Isolation: The dual-muff design creates a tight seal around the ears, significantly reducing ambient noise and allowing you to concentrate on critical communication. Imagine directing a complex stage production where the energy is high – the Max headset ensures you hear your team clearly, without interference.
  • Uncompromising Comfort: Despite their robust build, Riedel Max headsets are designed for extended wear. The comfortable ear cushions and adjustable headband ensure a secure yet gentle fit, minimizing fatigue during long shifts.

Riedel Pro D1 & D2: Versatility and Clarity for Demanding Professionals

The Riedel Pro series (D1 & D2) offers a versatile solution that balances excellent audio quality with a comfortable and lightweight design. These over-the-ear headsets are a popular choice for a wide range of applications, from broadcast and theater to sports production and event management. 

 

  • High-Fidelity Audio: Both the D1 (single muff) and D2 (dual muff) versions deliver clear and natural audio, ensuring you understand every nuance of communication. This is crucial for coordinating intricate cues or managing fast-paced live broadcasts.
  • Comfort for Extended Use: The lightweight construction and ergonomic over-the-ear design make the Pro series comfortable to wear for long periods, a significant advantage during demanding productions. The single-muff (D1) option offers greater awareness of the surrounding environment for users who need to stay connected to both their team and their immediate surroundings. The dual-muff (D2) provides enhanced noise isolation when focus is paramount.

Professional Features: These headsets often include features like a high-quality microphone with excellent rejection of background noise, ensuring your voice is heard clearly even in challenging acoustic environments.

Continuous monitoring through high-quality headphones is non-negotiable. It allows us to catch subtle issues, maintain consistent levels, and guarantee the integrity of the recording moment by moment. And, of course, we keep a close eye on timecode sync across all devices, ensuring that crucial lockstep is maintained throughout the shoot.

This can be particularly beneficial in safety-conscious environments or situations where maintaining auditory awareness is critical.

Finding the Right Fit for Your Needs

Choosing the right headset is crucial for maximizing the effectiveness of your Stickman Sound wireless intercom system. Consider the following factors when making your decision:

  • Environment: How noisy is your typical working environment? Dual-muff headsets excel in high-noise areas, while single-muff, in-ear, Bluetooth, or bone conduction options might be suitable for quieter settings or when situational awareness is important.
  • Comfort: How long will you be wearing the headset? Lightweight designs are essential for extended use, and bone conduction options offer an open-ear design for unique comfort.
  • Mobility: Do you need to move around freely? Bluetooth, bone conduction, and ultra-lightweight options offer the greatest flexibility.
  • Discretion: Is a low-profile design important for your application? In-ear headsets are the most discreet option.
  • Connectivity: Do you need seamless integration with other Bluetooth devices? Our Bluetooth headset range offers this convenience.

Situational Awareness: Is it crucial to hear your surroundings? Single-muff and bone conduction headsets allow for greater environmental awareness.
