Frequently Asked Questions
Why does this headset ship without a cable?
The "LC" designation means "Less Cable." Shure sells the headset and cable separately so you can choose the correct cable termination for your specific equipment (XLR, 1/4" TRS, etc.).
What cable do I need to use this headset?
You need a Shure BCASCA cable series — the specific model depends on your equipment's connector type. Common options include BCASCA-NXLR4 (4-pin XLR) for broadcast intercom systems and BCASCA1 (1/4" TRS) for general audio.
Is this comfortable for all-day broadcast use?
Yes. The BRH440M is designed for extended wear in broadcast environments. It features padded circumaural earcups and an adjustable headband, though comfort is subjective and some users may need to break it in.
What is the microphone's pickup pattern?
The integrated boom mic uses a dynamic cardioid pattern, which focuses on your voice and rejects ambient noise from the sides and rear — essential for noisy broadcast and production environments.
Can I use this for gaming or general voice chat?
Physically it would work with the right cable adapter, but this is a professional broadcast headset priced accordingly. For gaming, a purpose-built gaming headset would be more practical and cost-effective.
