Clear-Com CC-28-X4 Single Ear Headset XLR 4-Pin

The Clear-Com CC-28-X4 is a single-ear wired intercom headset built for the specific acoustic and ergonomic demands of live production and broadcast. Its dynamic microphone element is tuned for speech intelligibility rather than extended frequency response — in a noisy stage environment where crowd noise, monitor bleed, and HVAC are constant, that focused midrange presence keeps intercom communications cutting through without gain compensation. The rotating boom switch provides physical mute or activation control at the mic, which is a genuine workflow tool when hands are occupied mid-show.

The 4-pin XLR female connector locks the CC-28-X4 firmly into the Clear-Com party-line ecosystem, where it connects directly to RS-series beltpacks without adapters or modification. The over-the-head, single closed-back design is deliberately chosen — it keeps one ear free for live room awareness while delivering intercom audio to the other. The flexible gooseneck allows precise mic positioning that survives movement and costume changes without drifting off-axis. It's a no-compromise professional tool designed for people who are on headset for six or more hours at a stretch.
