Overview

The Clear-Com CC-60 is a professional double-ear intercom headset built for the communication demands of live production, broadcast, theater, and event environments. Its enclosed earpiece design with noise-attenuating cushions creates a seal around both ears, blocking ambient noise so operators can focus on intercom traffic even in loud venues. The dynamic microphone element with noise-canceling characteristics ensures that voice transmissions remain intelligible on the other end, cutting through background noise from stage activity, HVAC systems, or crowd sound.

Connecting via a standard 4-pin female XLR, the CC-60 integrates seamlessly with wired intercom ecosystems from Clear-Com and other manufacturers using the same connector standard. The 200-ohm microphone impedance and 400-ohm earpiece impedance are matched to professional intercom beltpacks and base stations, ensuring proper signal levels without the need for adapters or impedance-matching devices. Built for the realities of production work — long hours, frequent handling, and the occasional rough treatment — the CC-60 is designed as a durable, no-nonsense communication tool that prioritizes clarity and reliability over consumer audio features.

Pros & Cons

👍 Pros

Double-ear enclosed design provides strong noise isolation in loud broadcast, theater, and live event environments.
4-pin female XLR connector ensures compatibility with industry-standard wired intercom systems.
Dynamic noise-canceling microphone reduces background noise for clearer voice transmission.
Noise-attenuating ear cushions improve comfort and isolation during extended wear on long productions.

👎 Cons

Double-ear design blocks all ambient sound, which can be a disadvantage when situational awareness is needed.
Wired 4-pin XLR connection limits mobility compared to wireless intercom headset options.
The enclosed ear design can become warm during extended use in hot environments like outdoor events or non-air-conditioned venues.
No built-in volume control on the headset itself — level adjustment depends on the connected beltpack or base station.
