The Countryman EMW Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone is designed to reproduce vocals, musical instruments, and ambient audio sources with pristine detail and minimal handling noise. The capsule is highly resistant to moisture, making it a suitable solution for outdoor use, placement against skin, etc.

Clear audio reproduction with low rubbing and handling noise is a result of the EMW's omnidirectional polar pattern. The shelved frequency response features a smooth +6 dB boost between 2 and 15 kHz. This is the standard response for lavaliers worn on the outside of clothing (lapels, jackets, etc).

A wide variety of colors and connectors are available for use with various wireless transmitters. This version is cocoa and features a Switchcraft TA5-female connector for use with Audio-Technica wireless transmitters.

The EMW is available in three frequency response types and this version features a shelved frequency response that compensates for reflections lost when mounted on the outside of clothing and fabric. The shelved response is standard for lavalier microphones worn on lapels, jackets, etc.

The square EMW lavalier is available in a variety of colors that virtually render the entire microphone invisible against the skin, allowing you to select the version that is best suited for your application.

The attached cable is made of durable, break-resistant Kevlar for rigorous use without shorts or wear.

The EMW is credited for providing pristine audio with minimal handling and rubbing noise, due to its omnidirectional polar pattern.

This square, moisture-resistant capsule is ideal for use in humid conditions, on skin, outdoors, etc.

Q: 1. What remote would work for this camera? Do they all use the same port so I can get any one?

A: This camera has a near industry standard 2.5mm LANC connection. This works on most high end consumer Canon, Sony, and JVC camcorders. Many Sony camcorders use a Multi Terminal connection but you can get two cable adapters so you can use any LANC zoom controller such as the VariZoom attached.

Q: 2. Can the .mov format from this camcorder be edited in Avid Media Composer?

Q: 3. Can you output live video from this camera directly to a hard drive?

A: While shooting up to 4K it can output HDMI, but with a max rez of 1920x1080. It won't output 4K. BTW, this camera isn't physically robust and has some annoyances like short battery life and second-rate EVF & LCD, but also some good features for its price. Take care with it and it can serve you well.

Q: 4. Can you charge with portable charger or does it have to be wall outlet?

Q: 7. I have a JVC GY-HM170UA camera, I bought a Panasonic AG-MC200G microphone, but the camera does not recognize it, I did all the possible tests and nothing. Can someone help me?

A: We had a similar problem with a different version of the mic. Have you tested the mic off camera attached to another input? Ours was simply a bad mic. Have you tried other mics to eliminate the handle XLR as the issue?

Q: 8. how to connect to my computer?

A: There is a USB port on the camera you can use for file transfer to the computer.

Q: 9. Is the lens changeable? If yes, does it need adopter ?

A: The lens is fixed and thus not interchangeable. It is threaded for filters so you could probably add a lens to the fixed lens and obtain wider angle or telephoto that way.
