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 TA4-F connector for use with specific* Electro-Voice wireless transmitters.

Q: 4. As it's a multitrack recorder, can the various tracks be exported and the levels changed on them separately after recording? Or is it a question of having to get the relative levels right at recording and then there is just one file after comprised of all tracks?

A: Each track is a separate Audio file, that are all the same length. In an audio program you can then sync them up instantly, and adjust levels (as well as add individual effects) for each track independently. It is still important to get a clean recording from all inputs (using the levels on the zoom device). But it is not imperative to have a perfect mix on the device, you get all the tracks as separate audio files

Q: 5. can this record car sounds when placed near the exhoust for example? or does it kill the mic

Q: 7. How do you choose the format for recording, either wave or mp3

A: It depends on what you are doing. WAV is a lossless, uncompressed, file, and so that would be the higher quality option. An MP3 is compressed, so it takes up much less space. Unless you're worried about space on the card, I would advise recording everything as WAV, you can always convert it later if you need MP3.

Q: 9. Will this work with the mount for theTascam CA-XLR2d-C XLR Microphone Adapter Kit for Canon Cameras? If so, would I need to purchase additional cables?

A: Yes, the Rode NTG3B Moisture-Resistant Shotgun Microphone will fit in the microphone holder on the Tascam CA-XLR2d-C XLR Microphone Adapter Kit for Canon Cameras. The holder is compatible with microphone diameters between 19-23mm, and the NTG3B has a specified diameter of 19mm.

Q: 10. Is this a Lobar Pattern microphone?

A: A Lobar pickup pattern is commonly found in shotgun microphones and has the highest possible directionality, and can often be used interchangeably with "hypercardioid" and "supercardioid" pattern descriptions. However, both patterns are technically slightly less directional than the Lobar pattern, but Lobar is also much less commonly used by manufacturers to categorize their microphones' pickup capabilities. The NTG3B Moisture-Resistant Shotgun Microphone's pickup pattern is categorized as supercardioid.
