RTS PH-16 Overview

The RTS PH-16 Dual-Ear Under-Helmet Intercom Headset is a rugged wired headset designed for professional communication in high-noise environments. Built to fit comfortably beneath protective headgear, the PH-16 combines durable construction, strong acoustic isolation, and a noise-canceling dynamic microphone to ensure clear communication in demanding production, industrial, and broadcast settings.

Designed for Use Under Helmets
Engineered specifically for under-helmet operation, the PH-16 provides reliable hearing protection with an EPA-rated Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) of 24 dB. Foam-lined earcups increase noise attenuation, while the vented, foam-filled ear cushions deliver a comfortable fit with an effective acoustic seal, helping users clearly hear intercom communications even in loud environments.
Clear Communication in Tough Conditions
The headset features shock- and vibration-resistant dynamic receivers designed to minimize acoustic feedback and maintain consistent performance. A noise-canceling dynamic microphone captures speech clearly while reducing ambient noise. The microphone is mounted on a flexible boom with a sealed ball-and-socket joint, allowing precise positioning for optimal voice pickup. For added durability, the microphone cable is fully concealed and protected within the boom arm.
Adjustable and Field Serviceable
The PH-16 includes a dual-adjustment headband system for a secure and customizable fit. The behind-the-head section adjusts earcup pressure for comfort and stability, while the over-the-head portion uses hook-and-pile straps to accommodate different head sizes. For convenience and long service life, both the receivers and ear cushions are field repairable. A 6-foot cable terminated with an A5M XLR connector ensures reliable wired connection to compatible intercom systems.
