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 1mm diameter cable. It terminates to a Switchcraft TA4-F connector for use with Toa wireless transmitters.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. How long is the cable that it comes with?

A: The cable is 9.8 feet (3 meters).

Q: 2. Length of XLR5 cable, please. And did you buy a supplemental wind screen?

A: We mounted the mic on our PDW-700 using the front port so we got the smallest cable(about 12 ) and we used the basic windscreen that just slides on with no extra fuzzy muff - we are inside 99% of the time.

Q: 3. I'd like to see a picture of the custom shockmount. And I'd like to clamp this to a Manfrotto extension boom https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1364396-REG/manfrotto_mboomcfvr_mus_virtual_reality_carbon_fiber.html. Can anyone recommend the parts to do so?

A: The Auray 5/8" Male to 3/8" & 1/4"-20 Female Combo Reversible Thread Adapter (Steel), BH #AUADCOMBOS would adapt the shock mount to the Manfrotto extension boom.

Q: 4. how can I add a 50-foot cable to the NT-SF1?

A: I use 2 and 4 channel sub snakes with an XLR fanout at each end, typically 25' in length. Thats usually long enough. to reach a stage box. The fewer separate cables to run, the less to hide or tape down (and roll up).

Q: 5. Are there any mic flags that would fit over this?

A: At this time, there are no microphone flags that are compatible with the Zoom M2 MicTrak Stereo Microphone and Recorder (B&H # ZOZM2).

Q: 6. Will this work on my Fujifilm x4 camera?

A: The Andycine M1 Compact On-Camera Microphone is not compatible with the Fujifilm X-T4 or the X-E4 models because this microphone requires mic plugin power. These Fujifilm cameras do not have mic plugin power for that compatibility.

Q: 7. Is there a Windscreen/ Foam Cover for this?

A: The RODE SoundField NT-SF1 Ambisonic Microphone comes with a furry wind cover included.

Q: 8. 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: 9. I bought this mic, but I noticed that the channel 4 record level is significantly lower than 1-3. is this normal? or do I have a defective mic? I'm recording on a zoom F6 set for ambisonic recording.

A: It may be, but first make sure that each of the 4 input gain settings on the recorder are the same. If they are, just switch one of the known working channels to the one that seems to be lower and see if you get the same result. If so, you may have a defective mic.

Q: 10. Does this microphone have the standard protection IP67?

A: No, Rode has not provided an IP rating for the NT-SF1. This microphone is not water-resistant or waterproof.
