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 cocoa and comes with a 1mm diameter cable. It terminates to a Switchcraft TA3-F connector for use with Samson wireless transmitters.

Q: 1. does it work with the sony a7s II?It can be used with the shoe or need the mini jack?

A: It works with the new multi interface. So, I would assume that it will work with this camera, as it has that interface. It also has a standard stereo mini jack and the connecting cable comes with it, so that can be plugged into any camera with an external microphone input.

Q: 2. When mounted on the SONY RX10 via the shoe this microphone disables the manual audio levels. Am I therefore correct in assuming that the RX10 is now recording with auto levels? But when I plug-in the included connecting cable in addition manual levels are once again usable. So when mounted to the shoe, with connecting cable plugged-in is the only way to use manual audio levels with the RX10?SONY offer no explanation as to what's actually happening here!

A: The way the mic works is correct and the only controls if using via the shoe are just what are on the mic itself. To get the other controls from the camera it needs to be attached via the mic jack.

A: Unfortunately, I do not know what you need, as there is no question listed above. If you are inquiring about using the Sony NP-FW50 Lithium-Ion Rechargeable Battery with the Sony ECM-XYST1M Stereo Microphone, then no, it is not compatible. The Sony ECM-XYST1M Stereo Microphone does not need its own battery. It receives power via the Multi-Interface Hot Shoe on your camera.

Q: 9. Where is the frequency response chart for this microphone? Not just the high/low range, and not the polar pattern which is obvious.

A: Sony does not offer much information in the way of detailed specs for the ECM-XYST1M, which is not so unusual for consumer products. I was able to find this page which includes two charts based on directivity for 0 and 120 degrees at 1 kHz for 0, -10, -20 and -30 dB left and right channels. http://www.sony.net/Products/diacc/mic/03_products/3-1.html If you have specific questions or need additional details that are not available on the web, you can reach out to Sony directly.
