The light beige Countryman E6 Omnidirectional Earset Mic, Standard Gain with Detachable 1mm Cable and LEMO 3-Pin Connector for Zaxcom Wireless Transmitters is a vocal microphone with an adjustable boom that weighs less than one tenth of an ounce and is designed to be used by only one person. Once adjusted, it will continually hold this shape.

The E6 earset can be used on either ear for capturing audio and rejecting unwanted sound, feedback, or surrounding noise from stage monitors or nearby speakers in houses of worship, theater, and outdoor vocal and speech applications.

The low-profile, omnidirectional E6 earset virtually disappears against the skin, so performers will forget they're wearing a mic. This version offers the highest gain for general speaking such as presentations or sermons. In addition, the earset comes with three protective caps with different high-frequency response characteristics that control the amount of crispness or sibilance (response at 15 kHz). This omnidirectional E6 earset's cable terminates to a LEMO 3-pin connector for direct connection to Zaxcom TRX900AA, TRX900LA, TRX900LT, TRX900LTH, TRX900LTHS, TRX900LTS, TRXFB3, TRXLA2, TRXLA3, TRXLT3, and ZMT3 wireless bodypack transmitters.

The Countryman earsets are very small, lightweight, and the least visible headworn microphones.

The classic E6 is a good choice when one person will wear the microphone. Because the boom is stiffer, it can be adjusted to fit, then stored away and quickly reworn.

The E6's stainless steel boom is tough and can be bent and re-bent to fit different performers. It is highly resistant to makeup, sweat, and moisture when used with the supplied protective caps. The earset should always have a protective cap in place to keep sweat, makeup, and other foreign material out of the microphone.

The E6 earset's flexible boom is easily shaped right on the performer's face. Changeable protective caps let you shape the frequency response for different situations or to match other microphones. This omnidirectional version includes three protective caps—+4 dB (bright), +8 dB (very bright) and +0 dB (flat)—that controls the amount of crispness or sibilance (response at 15 kHz.)

Easy adjustment keeps the mic in a comfortable position for rejecting unwanted sounds. The omnidirectional E6 earset provides more isolation and is suitable for situations where there are loud monitors, extreme feedback, or environmental noise.

The included removable, quick-swap cable detaches from the actual earset, making it completely replaceable in the event of a short or break. The replaceable cable design makes upgrading wireless microphone systems easy as they are available in a wide selection of connections to accommodate most wireless transmitters.

Q: 1. Does this have a filtration compensation mode?

A: The meter does have a filter compensation mode for exposure only. Click on the link below and see page 127 of the manual for the details of this function. https://static.bhphotovideo.com/lit_files/474654.pdf

Q: 2. How much time will this run at full power, with a 14.8V, 146Wh battery?

A: 146Wh battery / 260w LED = about 30 minute run time.

Q: 3. I have an LS60x and I want another one that’s brighter. Bi-color and focusing, but more watts.

A: The Aputure LS 60x Bi-Color LED Focusing Flood Light BH #APLS60X only comes in one power level. Something like the B&H # KIPRACT632 could be a higher power focusing bi color light.

Q: 4. Is there a color meter option included?

A: Unfortunately, this meter is strictly for exposure readings. Sekonic does offer their C-800 SpectroMaster Color Meter, BH # SEC800SM which offers color readings. https://bhpho.to/39ZV5dI

Q: 5. Any Soft box recommendations to fit this light

A: Unfortunately, there is no soft boxes for this. However, we do have these diffusers for that. Please take a look at this here: https://bhpho.to/2BC0bLl

Q: 6. Does this work with profoto lights?

A: Yes, the Sekonic Speedmaster L-858D-U Light Meter will work with any lights.

Q: 7. Aperture barndoors are listed as an accessory, will they in fact fit the Smallrig fixture?

A: Since the Aputure Barndoors utilize the Bowens S mount as does the RC 220B, they can be used together.

Q: 8. How long does this meter take to boot up? From completely off to completely useable.

A: The start time is about 4 seconds from the time the power button is pressed and held.

Q: 9. Are there any issues using this with a fresnel? The Amaran 200x has rows of cool and warm LEDs, so using a fresnel with that light is problematic. The SmallRig 220b seems to have similar rows of LEDs.

A: No. The following system does not adapt to any fresnel system.

Q: 10. When using the flash in hss mode at a certain power output level for example at 1/2 power lever, then if i press the test flash button from trigger and measure with seconic light metre, the meter will show the camera setting for 1/2 power flash output in normal setting but not in hss mode. but power of a flash is normally lower in hss mode than in normal mode. with the transmiter of this seconic light meter, if we press the test button can it give us the correct camera setting in hss mode or we have make a test shot from the camera?

A: According to Sekonic, they state that when measuring HSS output, the camera has to be test-fired, meaning you have to press the shutter button on the camera (or use a remote release to trigger the shutter). Using the [TEST] button on the flash will not work when attempting to record HSS output for exposure purposes.
