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 4-pin Hirose connector for use with specific* Audio-Technica wireless transmitters.

Q: 1. Does it matter if you use USB 2.0, 3.0, or 3.1?

A: The Rode VideoMic NTG Hybrid Analog/USB Camera-Mount Shotgun Microphone is functional for use with all current USB generation connections.

Q: 2. I use many Rode products and love them. I have the VideoMic NTG and wonder if there is a work around so that I can monitor my video recordings from my Sony 6400 camera. The camera does not have a headphone jack for this and the NTG doesn't have one either for monitoring video recording. Is there perhaps a two out jack where headphones can be plugged into one of the outs and the recording into the camera in the other one? This would be the final thing to make the NTG a mic that can be used by filmmakers.

A: In the scenario described, because the camera does not have a headphone jack, there is no real way to monitor audio recorded into the Sony a6400 Mirrorless Camera from the Rode VideoMic NTG Hybrid Analog/USB Camera-Mount Shotgun Microphone, or any microphone for that matter. Because the connection on the camera is input only, a splitter type adapter would not function to provide a headphone output connection.
