The Countryman EMW Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone is designed to reproduce vocals, musical instruments, and ambient audio sources with pristine detail and minimal handling noise. The capsule is highly resistant to moisture, making it a suitable solution for outdoor use, placement against skin, etc.

Clear audio reproduction with low rubbing and handling noise is a result of the EMW's omnidirectional polar pattern. The shelved frequency response features a smooth +6 dB boost between 2 and 15 kHz. This is the standard response for lavaliers worn on the outside of clothing (lapels, jackets, etc).

A wide variety of colors and connectors are available for use with various wireless transmitters. This version is beige and features a 1/8" (3.5mm) mini locking connector for use with Senal wireless transmitters.

Shelved Frequency Response    3.5mm Locking Connector    Moisture-Resistant Capsule    Low Handling Noise    Beige

The EMW is available in three frequency response types and this version features a shelved frequency response that compensates for reflections lost when mounted on the outside of clothing and fabric. The shelved response is standard for lavalier microphones worn on lapels, jackets, etc.

The square EMW lavalier is available in a variety of colors that virtually render the entire microphone invisible against the skin, allowing you to select the version that is best suited for your application.

The attached cable is made of durable, break-resistant Kevlar for rigorous use without shorts or wear.

The EMW is credited for providing pristine audio with minimal handling and rubbing noise, due to its omnidirectional polar pattern.

This square, moisture-resistant capsule is ideal for use in humid conditions, on skin, outdoors, etc.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. What kind of mic accessory can go with the mic for attaching to clothing?

A: The Tentacle Sync Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone with Locking 3.5mm Connector comes with a mic clip for attaching to clothing.

Q: 2. Does this come in a beige color?

A: No, the Sony ECM-44BMP is only available in black. We do offer other lavalier mics in beige finish that are compatible with Sony UWP transmitters such as the Microphone Madness MM-PSM-L Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone for Select Sony Systems (B&H #MIPSMLSFBE) and Countryman B3 Omni Lavalier Mic, Standard Sens, with 3.5mm Locking Connector for Sony Wireless Transmitters (B&H #COB3W4LSN),

Q: 3. Will this work with the Saramonic UwMic9 ?

A: Yes, the Sony ECM-44BMP is compatible for use with the Saramonic UWMIC9 transmitter.

Q: 4. Can you remove the locking part of the 3.5mm connector to work with DJI Mic 2?

A: You cannot remove the locking part of the 3.5mm connector on the Sennheiser ME 2 Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone with Locking 3.5mm Connector (Black). However, you can still use it with the DJI Mic 2, but the locking mechanism would just be loose and can rattle with movement. A little bit of gaffer tape would remedy this though.

Q: 5. Is there a better lapel clip that will work with this mic as the supplied clip is next to useless as it does not offer any way to secure the mic cable and therefore I constantly get cable rubbing noise from presenters moving on stage.Even the cheaper (and very good ) Sony UWP-D11 kit comes with a decent lapel clip that allows you to better secure the mic cable?

A: YES

Q: 6. Will this fit into a Sennheiser EW100 G3 body pack trasmitter?

A: Yes the Sennheiser ME 2 is directly compatible with the Sennheiser G3 bodypack transmitter.

Q: 7. Is there an extension cable for this microphone?

A: Extension cables are not available for the Sony ECM-44BMP as it is designed to plug straight into a wireless belt pack, and a relatively short cable would work best. For longer cable runs, consider the ECM-44B (B&H# SOECM44B) with a XLR connector. XLR cables can be run typically up-to 200' without without signal degradation.

Q: 8. Is the pinout compatible for Sennheiser or Sony?

A: The Tentacle Sync Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone with Locking 3.5mm Connector is compatible for use with Sennheiser wireless transmitters.

Q: 9. Is the Sony SMC9-4P Connector the same, exactly, as the female 4-pin HIROSE connector?So can I use this Sony ECM44BC lavalier with an Audio Technica ATW-210a wireless transmitter ?

A: The Sony ECM44BC and SMC9-4P are not compatible with Audio Technica transmitters. Sony lavaliers, unless hardwired with an XLR, Sony Lavalier s will be compatible with Sony wireless systems only.

Q: 10. Which type is this MKE2 Gold mic ? EW or 2-4 / 2-5? I know MKE2 has several types such as EW, 2-3, 2-4 and 2-5, what is the difference between EW and 2-x version? ( it seems EW has blue tag and 2-x has gold/yellow one, is it true?) And I want to use MKE2 on Rode Wireless Go, so which type should i choose?

A: This version of the Sennheiser MKE 2 Gold Series Subminiature Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone is the EW version which is wired with a 3.5mm TRS locking connector for compatibility with Sennheiser transmitters and other wireless transmitters that use the same wiring configuration and this mic has a black finish. The MKE 2 Gold is also available in beige finish and with different connectors for compatibility with other wireless transmitters. In addition to the 3.5mm locking connector, the MKE 2 is also available with a 3-pin LEMO connector or with a pigtail connector. The mic itself is exactly the same regardless of the color or the connector. Be aware that the MKE 2 Gold requires 7.5V of plug-in power supplied through the mic input of the transmitter or device it will be connected to. The Wireless GO transmitter supplies up to 2.8V of plug-in power and also has a non-locking 3.5mm TRS input so the MKE 2 Gold is not compatible for use with the Wireless GO transmitter.
