The Countryman E6s Omnidirectional Microphone is a miniature earset microphone for virtually invisible operation. The compact size and placement just in front of the ear make this microphone particularly well-suited for intimate theater and broadcast applications, or any use where low mic visibility is a key factor.

The omnidirectional pickup pattern provides a generous and forgiving pickup area around the perimeter of the capsule, while the stainless steel construction stands up to daily use, makeup, and sweat. The mic also comes with 3 different interchangeable caps that let you choose between a flat, bright, or very bright frequency response.

This version of the E6s is black and comes with a 1mm diameter cable. It terminates to a 3-pin Lemo connector for use with Sennheiser wireless transmitters.

Q: 6. If i use this mic with a sc7 cable on my iPhone or Samsung s6(i dont wanna buy a videomic me) and there is a hiss sound then how should I stop it when using the videomicro with default camera app on my SMARTPHONE? Please help

A: Anytime you mount a mic on the cam, you will get hiss since the mic will be too far from the speaker and excess gain will need to be applied to get the sound level up. The video micro is a handy piece of kit, but is not a pro solution in any aspect. It is best used for a scratch track to synch your more professional audio tracks from a different recorder. Not probably what you want to hear. You need to get the mic off the cam and closer to the speaker.

Q: 7. Will it work with Zoom H1/H4n? Rode needs 3 volts. According to the site Zoom plug-In power for condenser microphones is 2.5 volts.

A: The Rode VideoMicro is designed for use with DSLR and other similar cameras that are able to provide the proper voltage required by the mic. The Zoom H1 at 2.5VDC max output is not likely to function with the VideoMicro and would not be recommended. The H4N is able to supply higher plug in power voltage, however has not been tested with this mic, and would be unable to confirm operation with the VideoMicro. In general battery powered microphones are recommended for use with portable recorders.

Q: 8. I really need a replacement for this Shotgun Microphone Holder with 1/4"-20 Screw connection for a gimbal?

This combination will allow you to easily connect or detach the mic, and will make use of the excellent Rycote Lyre suspension shock mount that is provided with the microphone.
