The light beige Countryman E6X Directional Earset Mic, Standard Gain with Detachable 1mm Cable and 3.5mm Connector for Comtek Wireless Transmitters is a versatile blend of the E6 and the E6i earset that features a springy, thin earpiece and a flexible boom and is suitable for use when a few people will be using the same mic.

The E6X 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, directional E6X 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. Additionally, the earset comes with two pattern-changeable protective caps for maximum isolation and gain before feedback. This directional E6X earset's cable terminates to a 3.5mm connector for direct connection to Comtek M-72 wireless bodypack transmitters.

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

The E6 Flex or E6X offers a versatile blend of the E6 and the E6i. With a springy, thin earpiece and a flexible boom, the E6 Flex is secure on the ear and fast to fit without compromising true invisibility and sound.

The E6X'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 E6X 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. The directional earset protective caps adjust the pattern from cardioid to hypercardioid.

Easy adjustment keeps the mic in a comfortable position for rejecting unwanted sounds. The directional E6X 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.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Which one these Sekonic transmitters works with the Interfit S1 flash?

A: If you are asking for a light meter that has a built-in radio transmitter compatible for use with the wireless radio receiver built inside the Interfit S1 light fixture, unfortunately, there is no option designed by Sekonic. The Sekonic Speedmaster L-858D-U Light Meters are built with transmitters for PocketWizard, Godox, Broncolor, Elinchrom, and Phottix wireless radio systems. As they do not manufacture an option for use with Interfit strobes, I would instead recommend purchasing the Sekonic L-858D-U Speedmaster Light Meter Kit with Transmitter Module for PocketWizard, B&H # SEL858DUSMPW, along with a PocketWizard transceiver such as the PocketWizard PlusX Transceiver, B&H # WIPWPX, for your usage needs.

Q: 2. What is the difference between L 858 d-u and L 858 d?

A: L-858D-U is the US version, the d-u is the international version and the difference would be in the frequency at which they opperate.

Q: 3. The transport bag has the appropriate dimensions to carry as luggage in the airplane cabin?

A: The dimension of the carrying case 22''L, 13.5''W, and 12''H. Check in with your airline for the dimension they allow.

Q: 4. What's the max power output and how this light compares with the Araman 200d @1m with the 55 reflector?

A: In comparing the RC 220B at 5600K, it would provide 84500 lux at 1m with its hyper reflector attached versus the Amaran 200d which provides 65,000 lux at the same distance and also with its hyper reflector attached.

Q: 5. Will the RT Module-32 Pocketwizard transmitter from the Sekonic L-608 work as a transmitter for the L-858D-U?

A: Yes.

Q: 6. This needs 10A at 26V. Can the "CAME-TV 48V Power Station" (BH CA48VPWRSTTN) power it using two "Core SWX APEX 360" batteries?

A: You can use the SmallRig RC 220B Bi-Color LED Monolight with the CAME-TV 48V Power Station with Dual V-Mount Battery Plates. But the batteries need to be 14-16v not 26v with that and should be at least 10A.

Q: 7. can the increments for aperture and shutter be set independently? IE can I set 1/2 stop aperture increments then set 1 stop shutter increments?

A: Yes, stop increments for shutter and aperture can be set individually on the Sekonic Speedmaster L-858D-U Light Meter.

Q: 8. does this meter have a auto shut off feature to save the batteries? I have a Sekonic L 608 cine meter and it will stay on

A: Yes, the Sekonic L-858D-U Speedmaster Light Meter Kit with Transmitter Module for Godox has auto shut off feature. This meter has many options, you can turn auto power off as well as setting it to shut off at 5,10, or 20 minutes.

Q: 9. Which type of batteries can it use?

A: You can use 14.4v or 26v batteries with a Dtap connection and a optional Dtap to XLR cable to power the SmallRig RC 220B Bi-Color LED Monolight BH #SM3473.

Q: 10. I've herd about the 10 camera profiles and this is great but how film friendly is this meter.i would like to profile my slide film but theirs more than 10 that I shoot.is this possible or am I asking to much of sekonic

A: It is not possible to create profiles for film the way you do for digital cameras. With variables such as emulsion batches and processing, you cannot guarantee consistency, plus the images would have to be scanned, introducing another variable-the scanner.The best thing to do is shoot some test film based on the meters reading, then evaluate them for good exposure and how much over/under exposure the film tolerates. If you feel that some over or under exposure is needed, you may manually enter compensation data into the meter. Same with dynamic range.
