The beige E6 Directional Earset Mic, Highest Gain, with Detachable 2mm Cable and LEMO 3-Pin Connector for Sennheiser Wireless Transmitters from Countryman is a vocal microphone with an adjustable boom that weighs less than one-tenth ounce. It can be used on either ear for capturing audio and rejecting unwanted sound, feedback, or surrounding noise from stage monitors or nearby speakers in houses of worship, theater, and outdoor vocal and speech applications.

The low-profile, directional E6 Earset virtually disappears against the skin, so performers forget they're wearing a mic. Three sensitivity options cover general speaking to extremely powerful vocals and four color options allow you to match the E6 to your skin tone for minimum visibility.

In addition, the E6 Earset features a pattern-changeable directional microphone for maximum isolation and gain before feedback, but is available as a water- and wind-resistant omnidirectional microphone too. This directional E6 Earset's cable terminates to a LEMO 3-pin connector for direct connection to a Sennheiser SK 50, SK 250, SK 3063, SK 5012, SK 5212, or SK 9000 wireless bodypack transmitter.

The Countryman E6 head-worn Earset is small and lightweight, and is hardly visible from a distance.

The E6 Earset's stainless steel boom is built tough and can be bent and re-bent many times to fit different performers. The E6 is highly resistant to makeup, sweat, and moisture when used with the supplied protective caps.

The flexible boom is easily shaped right on the performer's face and is available in multiple skin tones. Their protective caps let you shape the frequency response for different situations or to match other microphones; caps for the directional earset adjust the pattern from cardioid to hypercardioid. Choose a sensitivity for speaking or singing with up to 145 dB SPL capability.

The E6 provides high-quality audio with low distortion and an SPL of up to 145 dB. It delivers rich, full band audio quality.

Easy adjustment keeps the mic in a position for rejecting unwanted sounds. Countryman's omnidirectional Earset offers a reduction of 12 dB compared to a lavalier mic, while the directional E6 Earset provides even more isolation. Excellent for houses of worship, theater, and outdoor events.

An E6 replacement cable installs in seconds. The snap-on cables are rugged and available for almost any wireless transmitter or for XLR inputs with phantom power.

For general speaking.

Q: 1. I am trying to use this for my new Sony A9 and it doesn't appear to be working. I hit the shutter release button and nothing happens. Although it will take a picture if I hit the start/stop button. Fresh batteries on the Shutterboss, so that isn't the problem. Connection is good and solid. I even ordered a second one and tried that and had the same problem. What might the problem be?

A: Hi Corey, I'm not sure I can assist you with the A9 but on a recent trip to NY, I purchased this unit for the A7RII. With the A7RII the unit has worked flawlessly. I had a hard time finding a unit with these capabilities which was compatible with my camera and was hesitant to purchase given some feedback on a number of other units. Here is what I have found. Not only does the remote work with my A7RII, it also works well with my RX100mV. While all new cameras have a few teething problems, can I suggest that you remove the batteries and see if the unit triggers the camera as a simple remote. If it works, maybe there is a problem with the remote. If it doesn't then go to the camera settings and do a full reset of the camera setting (just in case something has been accidentally changed in the menu's. If the remote still doesn't work I would suggest letting Sony know. There are always firmware updates which address these type of issues once products have been on the market and field tested. Good luck. Cheers, Jim

Q: 2. Will this work to start video on a Canon 5D Mark iii?

A: As indicated on page 244 of the Canon EOS 5D Mark III DSLR camera's instruction manual, you can go to the camera's MENU button, then go to the Camera Settings menu (to the 5th tab), where there is an option that says Movie Shooting Button. If you choose the setting that allows you to use both the shutter button and the START/STOP button to begin video recording, you could then use a remote shutter release to start the video recording (however, do note that, with this setting, you would not be able to take pictures during video recording). If you have the above setting set in your camera, then yes, the Vello Wireless ShutterBoss II Remote Switch with Digital Timer for Select Canon Cameras may be used to start video recording on your camera.
