The beige E6 Omnidirectional Earset Mic, Highest Gain, with Detachable 2mm 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 general speaking.

Q: 1. 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: 2. 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: 3. is this camera very good at low lighting

A: With a 1/2.33" CMOS Sensor there are stronger options on that market for low light performance. The Panasonic AG-UX90 with a 1" MOS Sensor will give you a better low light performance. https://bhpho.to/2HY00hk

Q: 4. Has the JVC GY-HM170 got a wireless remote control?

Q: 5. How do I adjust the headphone volume level?

A: In camera mode with headphones plugged in press up or down on the up or down buttons next to the shutter button on the left side of the camera.

Q: 6. WHAT BATTERY DOES THIS MODEL USE ?

A: Currently, we sell four batteries that this camera can use. As you go up the pay scale, the longer the battery lasts.

Q: 7. 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: 8. How does the aperture scale as you zoom in? So at what focal length does it become f1.4, f1.8, etc?

A: That is a bit difficult to tell, since the actual focal length is not displayed. What is displayed is either a bar graph or a number between 0 and 99 (when digital zoom is turned off. The aperture does appear to close linearlly with zoom, not reaching F3.5 until its almost fully zoomed. Based on the 0 to 99 numeric zoom indicator, its: 0 - F1.2; 18 - F1.4; 31 - F1.6; 41 - F1.8; 51 - F2.0; 58 - F2.2; 70 - F2.5; 77 - F2.8; 90 - F3.2; 99 - F3.5. Also, when zoomed to double the widest angle, judging by the image magnified 2X, the aperture is F1.8.

Q: 9. I need to use a step-up 62-to-72mm adapter but seems like the hood holder doesn't allow the adapter to screw in. Any idea how to fix that, I think there is no way to remove the holder, unless someone has an idea on how to do that, or alternatives?Thanks

A: The hood on the GY-HM170UA can be removed if needed. To attach a filter, step-up adapter or wide angle lens to this camera's 62mm filter thread you will need to remove the hood. How to remove the hood is demonstrated on page 16 of this manual:http://bit.ly/2deiNa0

Q: 10. Can I change the ISO on this camcorder? I know it’s not a low light camera but can I do anything to help the issue?

A: Unfortunately no. If you are looking to set your light meter, you can set it to ISO 800.
