About Whirlwind THS 5

When it comes to professional-grade audio equipment, the THS 5 Talkback Headphone Box stands out as an essential tool for sports announcers and audio professionals seeking ultimate monitoring flexibility and clear, uninterrupted communication. This durable and compact device is engineered to meet the demanding needs of live environments, offering a high-quality, user-friendly, and reliable push-to-talk controller that excels in performance.

The THS 5 features a robust main and talkback output system, complemented by three tactile switches for precise control. The latching Mic On/Off switch ensures a secure connection to the Mic Out, with a visible red light indicator that illuminates when the Mic Out is active. This light is conveniently deactivated by the cough and talkback switches, providing discreet communication options.

For those utilizing condenser microphones, the THS 5 offers onboard phantom power, ensuring consistent, high-quality audio transmission. The phantom power switch is thoughtfully recessed to prevent accidental deactivation, maintaining uninterrupted operation.

The momentary Cough switch is a standout feature, designed to temporarily silence both the Mic Out and talkback out, allowing for private on-the-fly adjustments. The THS 5's talkback circuitry creates a dedicated off-air channel for booth communications, with a preamp and line driver that deliver a pristine signal at line level. Users can fine-tune the audio with the level control, ensuring the talkback line carries the perfect mix.

Engaging the momentary Talkback switch activates the talkback output and mutes the Mic Out, with a green light indicator for visual confirmation. The headphone section boasts two external inputs, each with front panel volume and pan controls, allowing users to adjust the audio balance with precision. Additionally, a third set of volume and pan pots is available for mixing the announcer's microphone into the headphones, offering a personalized listening experience.

The master headphone volume control is a central feature, adjusting the overall mix in both ears for optimal listening. The balanced, line-level XLR input connectors ensure a secure and noise-free connection, while the headphone amplifiers are crafted to deliver powerful, undistorted audio, even in the most raucous of settings.

Compatible with a wide range of headphone impedances, from 30 to 600 Ohms, the THS 5 is versatile enough to drive most announcer headsets to full volume without distortion. Headset connections are streamlined through a 3-pin female XLR for the microphone, and both 1/4" and 3.5mm TRS jacks are provided for headphones, catering to various professional needs.

Powered by a 12VAC power adapter, included for convenience, the THS 5 also features a front panel green LED power indicator. In the event of power loss, the main microphone output remains live on-air when using dynamic microphones, ensuring continuous operation.

In summary, the THS 5 Talkback Headphone Box is an indispensable asset for audio professionals who demand a durable, high-quality, and user-friendly communication solution. Its comprehensive feature set and reliable performance make it the preferred choice for those who require clear, flexible, and uninterrupted audio management in live and studio settings.
