Saramonic WiTalk9 X-DRH – remote headset, dual-ear

The Saramonic WiTalk9 X-DRH is a remote headset in the dual-ear configuration for the WiTalk9 X wireless full-duplex intercom. It adds one more person to an existing kit or replaces a headset that has worn out, and it also talks to first-generation WiTalk9 headsets. Two WiTalk9 X-BP1 batteries come with it. On its own it is not a complete system.

Adds one more person to the crew

The remote headset is an ordinary participant unit. Pressing the knob triggers push-to-talk; otherwise everyone talks full-duplex — all at once and without delay. Eight of them connect to one master headset without a base station.

Three wearing styles, ten seconds to switch

The WiTalk9 X is the first intercom with a fully modular headband. Detach the headband components and the headset changes from single-ear to dual-ear or helmet-ready within ten seconds. Every headband part can be replaced on its own, so the headset can be repaired rather than binned. Headband parts for another configuration are not included and are sold separately.

ClearTalk 2.0 — two microphones and AI

A directional dual-microphone array and Saramonic’s first in-house AI chip remove up to 40 dB of background noise. Unlike conventional ENC, which only handles steady ambience, an algorithm trained on 700,000 samples separates the voice from sudden noise too. Even when several people speak at once, voices are not cut off. The system carries 100 Hz – 7 kHz at a 16 kHz sample rate.

Two antennas, 400 metres of range

The headset has both an internal and an external antenna, monitors signal quality continuously and switches to the stronger one by itself, which markedly reduces dropouts. The DECT 1.9 GHz band also stays clear of the crowded 2.4 GHz where Wi-Fi and Bluetooth interfere. Latency stays under 75 ms.

A full shooting day

The master headset runs over 9 hours with four remotes attached, a remote headset up to 12 hours. Every headset has two batteries that swap while the shoot runs. They charge in the WiTalk9 X-UC10 charging dock for ten batteries, which comes with every kit and is also sold on its own.

Rain-proof

IPx4 protection means rain and splashing water do the headset no harm, so an outdoor shoot need not stop for a shower.

Replaceable parts

Ear cushions, temple pads, batteries and complete headbands are sold separately, so a worn part is replaced without buying a new headset.

One-handed control

The rotary knob sets volume steplessly; pressing it triggers Broadcast on the master headset and push-to-talk on a remote. Flip the mic boom up to mute and down to talk — a dedicated button mutes too.

Comfort on long shifts

The over-ear cushions are protein leather — soft and pressure-spreading. They swap without tools; spare over-ear cushions, on-ear foam cushions and temple pads are sold separately.

Saramonic app

The controls use large icons that stay readable in the chaos of a set. Adaptive Frequency Hopping (AFH) finds the clearest channels by itself, so the system works anywhere in the world. Battery levels are checked in the app too.

Nine users hub-free, up to 64 with WiTalk BASE

A master headset and up to eight remotes connect to each other without any base station. Add the WiTalk BASE and the system grows to 64 users (16 per base, four bases can be linked), plus up to eight role-based groups so departments can talk independently.
