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 tan and comes with a 1mm diameter cable. It terminates to a 3-pin Lemo connector for use with Sennheiser wireless transmitters.

Q: 4. Does the mke 600 support plugin power?

A: The Sennheiser MKE 600 Shotgun Microphone can be powered with a single AA battery or with 48V of phantom power, which is a much higher amount of voltage than plug-in power.

A: If the screw is stripped, then you may want to replace it to avoid a continuing problem.

Be careful and don't use too much because you don't want to create a mess or damage the electronics.
