Countryman E6 Directional Earset Mic with Hardwire XLR3M Connector, Classic/Springy Boom, P6 For speaking and vocals, 1mm Cable, Light Beige

The Countryman E6 Earset microphone is a nearly invisible, world-class vocal microphone that delivers high-quality voice pickup, while rejecting surrounding noise and feedback. An ultra-miniature electret condenser element is held close to the mouth by a thin boom and comfortable earpiece. Available in omnidirectional and pattern-adjustable directional versions, the E6 Earset weighs less than one-tenth ounce and virtually disappears against the skin, so performers forget they're even wearing a mic. The classic E6 is a good choice when one person will wear the microphone. Because the boom is stiffer, it can be adjusted to fit, then stored away and quickly reworn.

Unobtrusive
Countryman Earsets are the smallest, lightest and least visible head-worn microphones.

Rugged and Reliable
The E6 Earset's stainless steel, boom is incredibly tough and can be bent and re-bent many times to fit different performers. The E6 is highly resistant to makeup, sweat and moisture when used with the supplied protective caps.

Versatile
The E6 Earset's flexible boom is easily shaped right on the performer's face and available in multiple skin tones. Changeable omnidirectional protective caps let you shape the frequency response for different situations or to match other microphones; caps for the directional earset adjust the pattern from cardioid to hyper cardioid. Choose a sensitivity for speaking or singing with up to 135 dB SPL capability.

Exceptional Sound Quality
The Countryman E6 delivers rich, full band audio quality rivaling performance handheld and instrument microphones.

Excellent Isolation
Easy adjustment keeps the mic in the perfect position for rejecting unwanted sounds. Countryman Omnidirectional Earsets reduce feedback an average of 12 dB compared to an omnidirectional lavalier. Directional E6 Earsets provide even more isolation. Excellent for houses of worship, theater and outdoor events.

Replaceable Cable
With other microphones a worn cable requires purchasing a completely new mic. An E6 replacement cable installs in seconds. Snap-on miniature super rugged cables are available for almost any wireless transmitter.

Sensitivity
The medium gain (P6, blue band) is for very loud speaking, such as in theater and most vocal performances.

Protective Cap
The E6 Earset should always be used with a protective cap in place to keep sweat, makeup and other foreign material out of the microphone. The three omni caps each have a different high-frequency response characteristic that controls the amount of "crispness" or "sibilance" (response at 15 kHz). The omni ships with the +4 dB protective cap fitted to the mic which meets the needs of the majority of users. Use the +0 cap for recording instruments like flutes or violins or if you experience problems with high-frequency feedback.

For the directional version of the E6, the protective caps modify your earset's pickup pattern:

• Hyper cardioid (H) mode usually provides the best isolation, with a null facing toward the floor where "wedge" monitors are often placed. They recommend this mode for most applications.
• Cardioid (C) mode is slightly less directional, with a null toward the back. It's most useful when there is a monitor speaker over the shoulder or behind the performer.
