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 4-pin Hirose connector for use with specific* Sony wireless transmitters.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Does this work with a7rv?

A: Yes, the Sony ECM-B1M Camera-Mount Digital Shotgun Microphone is compatible for use with the Sony a7R V Mirrorless Camera.

Q: 2. anyone with experience with ECM-680S and a current on camera mike like ECM-B1M or ECM-M1? What's the difference in camera noise?

A: The Sony ECM-680S M/S Stereo Shotgun Microphone, when properly mounted in a shock mount, should pick up less handling noise than on-camera mics with a solid mount such as the Sony ECM-B1M.

Q: 3. The included deadcat muff is only good enough for mild side and back wind. It's inadequate for stronger wind. Does anyone have a recommendation for a more robust wind noise cancellation solution for this for 20-30mph wind hitting the back of it? (Shooting while riding a Segway). Thank you for your help!!!

A: You can try layering a foam windscreen underneath the deadcat and that should provide much better protection from wind noise.

Q: 4. How would you compare this to the Sennheiser 418s?

A: Hi Jesse R, The ECM680S is one of Sonys best shotgun microphones. It is switchable between mono and stereo and I don't believe that is something the Sennheiser does. I would also say that at almost half the price of the Sennheiser it is an excellent value. Ralph

Q: 5. Can I use this on a Zoom F2 and/or on a Røde Wireless PRO transmitter?

A: Although the Sony ECM-322BMP Professional Headworn Microphone uses a locking 3.5mm output, it is wired for Sony devices only. Sony uses a different wiring scheme than most other manufacturers, so this microphone (and other Sony lavaliers & headsets) will not be compatible with brands such as Zoom and Rode.

Q: 6. Compared to the Sony XLR-K3M Kit what is the difference in quality? I have an A7III, what should I observe before deciding to buy the ECM-B1M or XLR-K3M?

A: They are very different microphones. The KM3 allows you flexibility to use other XLR mics. The B1M is more compact. If you pair it with a A7RM4 its a fully digital path. If you are looking for flexibility then get the KM3. If you want a small mic with some noise isolation then get the B1M.

Q: 7. Will it also work with the A7III?

A: Yes it will. This microphone will work with the Sony A7III for Analog Audio through the Multi-Interface Shoe on the camera.

Q: 8. what are the dimensions of the lens, please? how far does the lens protrude from the lens mount? thank you.

A: The TTArtisan 50mm f/2 Lens for Leica L (Black) is 1.38x1.95x1.95".

Q: 9. Would this work with a Sony A1 or A9ii?

A: The TTArtisan 50mm f/2 Lens for Sony E is a manual focus lens that would work with both Sony A1 and a Sony A9 II.

Q: 10. What would it be like paired with the Zoom H6 ? I have to Sony ECM-MS2 and it sounds flat no bass almost like a mono sound.

A: The Sony ECM-680S M/S Stereo Shotgun Microphone is compatible for use with the Zoom H6 Portable Handy Recorder. For stereo audio on two channels, you would connect the mic to two XLR inputs on the H6 by using the included XLR 5-pin cable and an adapter such as the Sennheiser ACS5 5-pin XLR Female to Dual XLR Male Y Cable for MKH418S and MKE44P Microphones (B&H # SEACS5) or by using a cable like the RODE NT4-DXLR Stereo 5-Pin XLR to Dual 3-Pin XLR Cable for NT-4 Fixed X/Y Condenser Microphone - 10.3' (B&H # RONT4DXLRCBL) or the Remote Audio 5-Pin Stereo XLR Female to Dual XLR Male Y-Cable - 25' (B&H # RECAXSTE25).
