About Countryman EMW
Perfect underwater or under clothes, the EMW handles handling noise and tackles tough environments.
A world-favorite lavalier, the EMW delivers excellent sound with minimal clothing noise, in a sleek, yet rugged, nearly waterproof design. That's why the EMW Lavalier has long been regarded as one of the best, most affordable workhorse lavaliers on the market, which no audio kit should be without. From news anchors and talk show guests to watersports documentaries and feature films, Countryman EMW Lavaliers are ready for action.
Water (Or Cola) Resistance
The best mic for hiding under clothing in film, theater, and TV production is also an excellent general purpose lavalier for churches, schools, interviews, and news. The EMW's immersability allows use near water or in intense weather.
Designed to Hide
The engineering polymer shell of the EMW is specially designed to slide across fabric and reduce clothing noise.
Audio Performance
The EMW delivers outstanding sound quality, with very low rubbing noise and an extremely uniform omnidirectional pattern over a wide range of frequencies. Choose from three frequency responses: shelved for normal lavalier use, peaked for use behind clothing, or flat for miking instruments.
Rugged and Reliable
The EMW is exceptionally resistant to makeup, sweat, and moisture, and is well-suited to use in hair or on the body. The Aramid-reinforced cable gives it world-class survivability.
Color
Black is the most popular choice for hiding against clothes. Use it for deep brown skin, or on other skin tones when you want the mic to be visible.
When in doubt about a skin tone match, choose the darker option. That's because a mic that's too light can resemble a scar or blemish, while a mic that's slightly darker than the background resembles a shadow and draws less attention.
High Frequency Response
"S" Response: provides a smooth 6 dB "shelved up" curve between 2 kHz and 15 kHz to compensate for lost facial reflections when the mic is used on the exterior of the body, as in the typical lapel or tie-clip position. This is the standard "lavalier" frequency response.
