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 1/8" (3.5mm) Locking Mini connector for use with Sennheiser wireless transmitters.

Q: 1. Which pole comes in this kit?

A: K-Tek - K102CCR 5-Section Klassic Series Lightweight Boompole B&H # KTK102CCR

Q: 2. I'm having space problem with the right-angle end at my X-T4 camera. The right-angle end doesn't allow the camera LCD to rotate freely. Does B&H carry a high quality but very short straight-end extension to be used with this Sennheiser cable?

A: You can get a different cable to use with the Sennheiser MKE 400 Camera-Mount Shotgun Microphone. The Comica Audio Locking 3.5mm TRS to 3.5mm Male TRS Coiled Cable (B&H # COCVMDLCPX) has straight connectors on both ends and can be used instead of the Sennheiser CL35 cable with the angled connectors that is included with the mic. The Comica cable will work exactly the same way. The other option would be to attach a short extension like the Pearstone 3.5mm Stereo Male to Female Extension Cable - Black, 1.5' (B&H # PEMMSB101) onto the end of the Sennheiser cable.

Q: 3. Is there a softie designed for this shotgun? I’m looking for this to be my main run and gun due to the smaller size but a softie is a must.

A: Rycote 12cm Super-Softie Wind Shield for Shotgun Mics B&H # RYSS12M

Q: 4. But when using the Softie will I still be able to use the shock mount? Also, what would be the best possible shock mount and softie to attach the 8060 on a camera.

A: Once the Sennheiser MKH 8060 Moisture-Resistant Short Shotgun Microphone is covered with the Rycote Standard Hole Classic Softie Wind-Screen, there is still a few inches on the end of the mic for a shockmount. An alternative to the Auray DUSM-1 listed in this kit would be BH #RYINVONCAMSM Rycote InVision On-Camera Shockmount for Microphones & Cameras:https://bhpho.to/33wOtmB
