The beige E6 Directional Earset Mic, Highest Overload, with Detachable 1mm Cable and Screw-On TA4F Connector for Sabine 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 screw-on TA4F connector for direct connection to a Sabine SW16TX, SW30TX, SW1600, SW3000, or ST50T 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 strong vocals.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. This Gitzo travel ball head is too sticky and not smooth like my old Promaster cheapo ball head. Is there anyone else with this issue?

A: This head is very good and should not at all be sticky. Check the knobs and see if different tightening positions make the difference.

Q: 2. I plan to buy a Gitzo GK2545T tripod with a 1382TQD ball head which is Arca-Swiss compatible. My camera is a Canon 7D without battery grip. What L-bracket would you suggest?

A: I used this particular combination with a Canon 5D this summer in Alaska. The combo was extremely easy to pack and set up. It was sturdy enough using a up to a 70-200 f/2.8 lens. The hook on the center column was convieniet to use to hang the carrying case loaded with extra weight in windy conditions. Even though I have an L-bracket it is not needed because the ball head comes with an Acra-Swiss compatible.

Q: 3. what is the difference between GH1382QD?

A: The Gitzo GH1382TQD Series 1 Traveler Center Ball Head with Arca-Type Screw Knob QR Receiver weighs about 20% less than the GH1382QD ball head and has a slightly lower load capacity.

Q: 4. How does this safety pin work exactly?

A: The safety pin on the GH1382TQD prevents the quick release plate from slipping off the clamp when unlocked.

Q: 5. Does this have indexing dentents for rotation and tilt? Can it be locked in position on both axis?

Q: 6. I understand RRS does not recommend this combination, but, Would this accommodate a Nikon D7200 with 18-300mm f3.5-6.3 - if not, what would you recommend at a similar price point?

A: This camera and lens combination would weight about 2.7 lbs, which is way below the 8 lbs limit of this head.

Q: 7. ISn't that wierd. Some pleople claim it works on A7 iiii and A7r iii while some other people claim it doesn't work! In the overview it is mentioned the two cameras are mentioned as compatible. WHo am I to believe now?

Q: 8. I am wondering if RSS L Plate for a9, a7rIII or 5D IV will fit this Gitzo GH1382TQD? I am hearing that the Gitzo has safety pin which takes only Gitzo specific lates?

A: All B&H customers using this head report it accepts Arca-Swiss plates without issue.

Q: 9. Would a Canon 5d Markiii fit on this?

A: Yes, this one will fit any full frame DSLR, but it depends on a lens you are going to use. I use it with Nikon D700 or D800 and Nikon 70-200mm VRII as a maximum. This body/lens combo weighs around 2.5 kg (PG-01 load capacity is 3.6 kg/8 lb), but you should be careful how far from the tripod centre you will push them on a nodal slide. Although, primary target is a mirrorless camera user, I like how sturdy, but light and small PG-01 is, as well as its price in comparison to PG-02. I use quite long nodal slide with it (RRS MPR-192), as for example, the entrance pupil for mentioned lens (no parallax point) at 200mm is behind the camera flange and you need to have that lenght of a slide to push everything forward to the far end. I hope this can help.

Q: 10. Will burst mode work for continuous 11 FPS shooting while connected via cable?

A: If the camera in question is capable of shooting at 11 frames per second, then yes, it will be possible to do so when shooting with a ShutterBoss connected.
