RODE HS2 Overview

The black/large HS2 Lightweight Headset Microphone from RØDE is a low profile, ergonomic microphone that provides clean, clear and pronounced audio for applications such as public speaking, lectures, conferences, or anywhere a microphone needs to be in close proximity to any presenter's mouth.

Featuring an adjustable, corrosion resistant stainless spring-steel boom arm and headband, the headset has hypoallergenic silicone ear strips for maximum flexibility and comfort. Coated in a durable ceramic painted finish in either black or pink, the HS2 is available in two different sizes (small or large) to ensure a perfect fit for any individual.

Furthermore, it is connected via a 4' braided and shielded Kevlar reinforced cable, terminating with a gold-plated 1/8" TRS mini-jack output connector, which has a removable locking nut that ensures a secure connection to a wide range of recording devices and wireless transmitters.

Finally, the HS2's lightweight, comfortable fit, low self-noise, minimal appearance, and user friendly omnidirectional polar pattern make it an ideal microphone for film, television, video, theatre, house of worship, and live vocal performance applications.

Can the Rode Hs2 be used as the Rode Wireless Go?
Asked by: Wemerson
Hello Wemerson. The Rode HS2 now has a locking nut that works for the RodeLink systems, however the Wireless Go doesn't have the locking connection. To use the HS2 with the Wireless Go, simply remove the locking nut and store it for later.

Would the M3 MacBook Pro accept this as a microphone, or do I need to use an interface with it?
Asked by: Jonathan
The RODE HS2 Lightweight Headset Microphone is wired with a TRS locking 1/8" (3.5mm) connector, primarily for use with a compatible wireless transmitter. In order to connect the mic to the MacBook Pro, you would need to use the RODE VXLR+ 3.5mm TRS Female to XLR Male Adapter with Phantom Power Converter (B&H # ROVXLRP) and connect the mic to an XLR input on a USB audio interface that can supply phantom power. The adapter will convert the phantom power to the proper amount of voltage to power the mic. If you want to use a microphone that can connect directly to the MacBook Pro without the need for any other hardware, I would recommend the RODE SmartLav+ Lavalier Condenser Microphone for Smartphones with TRRS Connections (B&H # ROSMARTLAVP) together with a headset mount such as the RODE LAVHS-MED Headset Mount for Lavalier Microphones - Medium (B&H # ROLAVHSMED).

What Rode transmitter is compatible with this? No the wireless go right?
Asked by: Adriana
The Rode HS2 Headset Mic can be used with any of the Rode wireless transmitters that have a locking or a non-locking 3.5mm TRS input. Rode's tech support has confirmed that the locking ring on the mic's connector is removable so the HS2 can be used with Rode's Wireless GO, Wireless GO II, and RodeLink transmitters, as well as with wireless transmitters from other manufacturers that use the same type of locking 3.5mm TRS connector with Sennheiser style wiring or with recorders like the Zoom F2 and the Tascam DR-10L which both have a locking 3.5mm TRS mic input, and recorders and cameras that have a standard non-locking 3.5mm TRS mic input. Older versions of the HS2 that do not have a removable locking ring can be used with the RodeLink transmitters and other transmitters that have a locking 3.5mm TRS connector with Sennheiser style wiring, as well as with recorders with a locking input like the those mentioned above.

Can I use the Rode HS2 with a Sony UWP D21 Wireless Bodypack Transmitter?
Asked by: Esteban
No, the RODE HS2 Lightweight Headset Microphone is not compatible for use with the Sony UTX-B40 Wireless Bodypack Transmitter for the Sony UWP-D21 Lavalier Microphone System. The internal wiring on the HS2 is different than the wiring used for Sony transmitters. The HS2 is compatible for use with Sennheiser wireless transmitters, but not with Sony transmitters. As a compatible option, you can use the Sony ECM-322BMP Professional Headworn Microphone (B&H # SOECM322BMP), the Countryman Isomax Omnidirectional Headset Microphone for Sony Wireless Transmitters - 1/8" (3.5mm) Locking-Mini Connector, Beige - (B&H # COMHOW5LSN), the Countryman H6 Omnidirectional Headset with Detachable Cable and 3.5mm Locking Connector for Sony Wireless Transmitters - W7 Band, Beige (B&H # COH6OW7LSN), or the Voice Technologies VT DUPLEX Omni Headset Microphone with 3.5mm TRS Locking Connector for Sony Transmitters - S/M, Beige (B&H # VOVT0594) or L/XL, Beige (B&H # VOVT0588).

Can I use this headset with shure ULXD and AD Series??, I need some Adapter or change the pinout of the connector??
Asked by: ALFREDO
We unfortunately do not have any adapters available that will convert the locking 3.5mm TRS male connector on the Rode HS2 Lightweight Headset Microphone to a TA4 4-pin mini XLR female connector for compatibility with Shure wireless transmitters. However, we do have other headsets that are compatible with Shure wireless transmitters such as the Shure WBH54T Beta 54 Headworn Vocal Microphone - Tan (B&H # SHWBH54T), the Shure DH5 DuraPlex Omnidirectional Headset Microphone - Tan (B&H # SHDH5TOMTQG), the Galaxy Audio HSM8 Dual-Ear Headset Mic with 4 Cables - Beige (B&H # GAHS8OBG4MX), the Point Source Audio Series8 Omnidirectional Waterproof Headset Microphone with TA4F Connector for Shure, Line 6, JTS, Trantec, Carvin Wireless Transmitters - Beige (B&H # POCO8WDXSHBE), or the MIPRO MU-53HNSX Dual-Ear Cardioid Headset Microphone for Wireless Transmitters - Beige (B&H # MIMU53HNSX).

Asked by: Alan
To use the RODE HS2 Lightweight Headset Microphone with a computer, a USB audio interface with a microphone input, such as the RODE AI-Micro USB-C Audio Interface (B&H # ROAIMICRO), should be used.
