The cocoa E6 Omnidirectional Earset Mic, Medium Gain, with Detachable 1mm Cable and Hirose 4-Pin Connector for Audio-Technica Wireless Transmitters from Countryman is a vocal microphone with an adjustable boom that weighs less than one-tenth ounce. It is a water- and wind-resistant microphone that can be used on either ear for capturing audio in houses of worship, theater, or outdoor vocal and speech applications.

The low-profile, omnidirectional 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 three omni caps (very bright +8 dB, bright +4 dB, and flat +0 dB) that deliver response characteristics for most other applications such as recording flute and violin. The E6 Earset is available as a directional microphone too with cardioid and hypercardioid caps. This omnidirectional E6 Earset's cable terminates to a Hirose 4-pin connector for direct connection to an Audio-Technica ATW-T1801, ATW-T27, ATW-T31, ATW-T51, ATW-T201, ATW-T210, ATW-T210a, ATW-T310, or ATW-T310b wireless bodypack transmitter for use with 200 Series, 1100 Series, 1400 Series, 1800 Series, 2000 Series, 2000A Series, 3000 Series, or 3000A Series wireless systems.

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 140 dB SPL capability.

The E6 provides high-quality audio with low distortion and an SPL of up to 140 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 speaking and vocals.

Q: 1. The camera is able to output 4k live but can it output HD 1080p or 720p live?

A: It will output in the resolution selected to record in.

Q: 2. Is 48 volt phantom power available on the XLR microphoneconnectors?

A: When I found the complete Operation Manual it confirmed that phantom power was an option on the handle control panel. Many thanks to all who responded.

Q: 3. Has the JVC GY-HM170 got a wireless remote control?

A: No

Q: 4. Can this camera use the 128g card? I read somewhere the max is 64.

A: Yes, I've got a 256GB card in it and it works great. A 64GB limit wouldn't make much sense in a 4K camera! Just make sure you get the appropriate speed rating SD card (U3)

Q: 5. Does the GY-HM170ua use the same batteries as the GY-LS300? I have the ls300 and extra batteries and it would be great if I could use those batteries on the HM170.

A: The GY-HM170UA does not use the same batteries as the GY-LS300. Consider the GY-HM200 instead, which is essentially the same camera as the GY-HM170UA, but uses the same battery as the GY-LS300 instead.

Q: 6. Does this camera include a battery charger? Does it charge the battery connected with the battery?

A: Same as the other answers. Charge in the camera with AC Adapter. Battery will last about a few hours (I think), so you may want an extra or two if you are doing long shoots.

Q: 7. Does the live 4k hdmi output include the audio from the XLR addon or just the video?

A: The audio from the XLR Inputs on the optional top handle unit will be embedded in to the HDMI output.

Q: 8. What resolution and frame rate does the HDMI port output?

A: The HDMI output is able to send up to a UHD 4K signal at 30fps. It can also output HD at up to 60fps.

Q: 9. Is the lens parfocal?

A: The lens, like all other auto focus fixed zoom lens camcorders, is not parfocal. It relies on the auto focus to maintain the focus while zooming.

Q: 10. How is the back focus? This is always a concern with fixed lenses for me.

A: We are not aware of any back focus issues with this camera. It will work very well.
