The Countryman E6s Omnidirectional Microphone for Mipro Transmitters is a short 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 has a low sensitivity that is ideal for powerful vocal applications. It 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 detachable 1mm diameter Duramax cable. It terminates to a screw-on TA4F 4-pin mini XLR connector for use with Mipro wireless transmitters.

This mic is not compatible with older Mipro transmitters equipped with a TA4M connector that has a square pin configuration on the inside.
