Vocal headset for stage and studio
The Azden HS-12H is a lightweight behind-the-head microphone built for singers, presenters and instructors who need hands-free operation. Its electret condenser element captures a wide 30-18,000 Hz range with -48 dB sensitivity. The cardioid pattern rejects off-axis sound so the voice stays clear in noisy rooms.
Upgrade from handheld or lapel mics
A headworn design keeps the capsule at a fixed distance from the mouth, removing handling noise and the inconsistency of a clip-on mic that shifts with movement. The swivel boom and adjustable headband let you lock the exact position once, then forget it through an entire set or lesson.
Suits active vocalists and speakers
Performers who move around stage, fitness instructors or broadcasters who need both hands free will benefit from the secure fit. Users who require a super-cardioid or hyper-cardioid pattern for extreme isolation, or who need a wireless transmitter included, should look at other systems.

Questions about this item
What headband design does the HS-12H use for fitting?
The behind-the-head style has an adjustable rear headband that lets you tighten or loosen the frame for a secure, comfortable fit during extended use.
How is the microphone boom positioned during installation, and what step is often missed?
Bend the gooseneck boom so the capsule sits at the corner of your mouth, not directly in front; many users forget to angle it off-axis and get plosives.
Which component will need replacement first with regular stage use?
The electret condenser capsule is rated for long life, but the thin gooseneck wire can fatigue from repeated bending and should be inspected periodically.
