Whirlwind WW-THS2 Talkback Headphone Box - Studio Communication

The Whirlwind WW-THS2 Talkback Headphone Box is a studio communication tool designed to sit at the talent position in recording, broadcast, or post-production environments. It accepts balanced stereo audio on separate left and right XLR inputs, plus a balanced mono XLR input that feeds both ears — giving the engineer flexibility to send a stereo program mix alongside a separate mono cue or talkback feed. Each of these three inputs has its own front-panel volume knob, so the talent can adjust their own headphone balance without requiring the engineer to make changes at the console.

On the microphone side, the WW-THS2 provides a passive straight-through connection from a dynamic mic to the control room, with a latching on/off switch for hands-free talkback and a momentary cough switch for quick muting. The unit drives headphones between 30 and 600 ohms through both 1/4-inch TRS and 3.5mm jacks, covering everything from low-impedance in-ears to high-impedance studio monitors. Powered by the included 12 VAC adapter, the WW-THS2 is built to Whirlwind's professional standards and fits naturally into any studio workflow that requires reliable, simple talent communication.
