The black E6 Omnidirectional Earset Mic, Medium 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.

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: 2. What have you found are the best settings for this camera when shooting indoor with regular fluorescent lighting? I can't get a good image.

A: Shooting fluorescent is always tricky. If you follow the link below, your color should be OK. If it is still not acceptable, I would then suspect the fluorescent bulbs are mixed color. In that instance, you could change them out, overpower them with video lights or live with it. http://bit.ly/2hmjQq1

Q: 10. 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
