The tan E6 Directional Earset Mic, Highest Gain, with Detachable 2mm Cable and 2.5mm Stereo Connector for Samson 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 2.5mm stereo connector for direct connection to a Samson Airline AL-1 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. Will this be suitable for wildlife / background natural sounds (birds, frogs, crickets, night sounds, etc.)?

Q: 9. Any reason to get this over the regular Rode VideoMic?

A: Hello Justin, the Rode VideoMic Pro has a built in +20dB preamp which allows you to reduce the gain inside your camera. Note that the camera needs to allow you to lower its preamp. This will result in the microphone handling most of the gain and lowering the overall noise in your recording.

Q: 10. Is there USB connectivity for input from an Ipod or smartphone?

A: Unfortunately the STR-DH190 does not have USB Connectivity specifically for an iPod or Smartphone. The USB port on the back panel is only meant for Service and Firmware Updates to which it will not have the ability to sync with an iPod or Smartphone. A RCA to Mini cable will be the only option to connect either device to this Receiver.
