The Countryman E6s Omnidirectional Microphone is a miniature earset microphone for virtually invisible operation. The compact size and placement just in front of the ear make this microphone particularly well-suited for intimate theater and broadcast applications, or any use where low mic visibility is a key factor.

The omnidirectional pickup pattern provides a generous and forgiving pickup area around the perimeter of the capsule, while the stainless steel construction stands up to daily use, makeup, and sweat. The mic also comes with 3 different interchangeable caps that let you choose between a flat, bright, or very bright frequency response.

This version of the E6s is black and comes with a 2mm diameter Duramax cable. It terminates to a Switchcraft TA5-F connector for use with Lectrosonics wireless transmitters.

Q: 7. Would this be good for podcasts?

A: Hello Kelly, The short answer here is, not typically. I say this because the NTG3 is a very directional, supercardioid microphone. What this means is, it is designed more for isolating at various distances and not so much for direct, close audio. If you do use this microphone in tight you can also hear variations in the volume and sound. What I recommend for this application would be the Rode NT-USB or Complete Studio Kit. If you're looking for the most value, look into the new Rodecaster Pro and PodMic. Happy Podcasting.

Q: 8. HOW DO I NEED FOR CONNECT RODE NTG3 WITH RED KOMODO?

A: Because the Rode NTG3 Moisture-Resistant Shotgun Microphone requires phantom power from its input connection, it will not connect to and work directly with the 3.5mm audio input on the RED DIGITAL CINEMA KOMODO 6K Digital Cinema Camera. An external adapter offering phantom power such as the Beachtek DXA-MAX 2-Channel Active Audio Adapter (BH #BEDXAMAX) would work to power the NTG-3 and pass its signal into the KOMODO.

Q: 9. Would this work for a canon c200? I know it needs phantom power and I am unsure if the c200 has phantom power.
