The Countryman E2 Unidirectional Earset Microphone is a miniature ear-set microphone for virtually invisible operation in stage performances, trade shows, houses-of-worship, auctions, lectures and much more.

The E2 is designed with a small boom and ear-loop for low visibility. Its unidirectional polar pattern features a uniform frequency response and minimizes off axis noise and feedback. An equalizing circuit in the audio connector custom tunes the frequency response to deliver both rich highs, mid-range presence and full-bodied bass.

A wide variety of colors and connections are available for use with various wireless transmitters. This version is black and the cable terminates to a 3-pin XLR connector for direct connection to microphone preamplifiers, mixers, etc.

3-pin XLR Hardwired Connection    2mm Diameter Cable    130dB SPL for General Speech & Vocals    Black

A miniature cardioid capsule is mounted to a low-profile, flexible frame. This lightweight, unobtrusive design is available in various colors that virtually render the entire microphone invisible against the skin.

The included removable, quick-swap cable detaches from the actual headset, 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 various wireless transmitters. The Duramax 2mm diameter cable provides extra strength, flexibility and durability.

Its unidirectional element provides nearly the isolation of the Countryman E6 Omnidirectional microphone at the mouth, but with significantly less visibility.

This version is optimized with a sensitivity response for general speech and vocals. The E2 features a maximum SPL level of 130dB SPL.
