The light beige Countryman E6 Omnidirectional Earset Mic, Low Gain with Detachable 2mm Cable and TA4F Connector for Paso 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 lowest gain for the most powerful vocals that require the highest overload. 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 TA4F connector for direct connection to Paso MW223 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.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. How does this mic compare to the DK3A one from Saramonic?

A: The DK3A is much higher quality (sounds better).

Q: 2. Does it require 48V phantom power?

A: No, the Polsen ESM-1-MN Single-Sided Earset Microphone does not require 48V of phantom power, it requires 1.5 to 5V of plug-in power which can be supplied through the 3.5mm mic input on many recorders or cameras, as well as by the 3.5mm jack on certain computers.

Q: 3. Can I connect to the Rode Wireless GO II 2?

A: Since the BOYA BY-M2D Dual Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphones have a detachable Lightning cable with a standard 3.5mm TRS connector and operate using plug-in power, the BY-M2D should work with a standard 3.5mm TRS male to 3.5mm TRS male cable like the Pearstone Stereo Mini Male to Stereo Mini Male Cable (B&H # PEMMSA103B) to connect to other devices that have a standard 3.5mm TRS mic input and supply plug-in power. Although we have not tested it with the Wireless GO II transmitter, the BY-M2D should work when using the stereo mini aux cable.

Q: 4. I'm wondering if I bend it to be used on the other ear if the microphone will break? It's currently set up for the left ear.

A: The boom on the Polsen ESM-1-35H Single-Sided Earset Microphone is flexible and adjustable, so it should not break if you bend it to curve for use on the right ear.

Q: 5. Is the ear frame flexible? (Can the circular part be shaped, or will it snap?)

A: Yes. The single-sided earclip on the Polsen ESM-1-TA4 easily conforms to your ear and holds the mic in place for active applications such as fitness, mobile journalism, house of worship, and more.

Q: 6. Will this improve the SQ of a cell phone for recording live music? (Big concerts so stereo recording is not needed). Needs to be lapel style.

A: An external microphone will improve the audio over the built in mcrophone of the mobile phone.

Q: 7. Is this compatible with the Tascam DR-10L?

A: This is only design for a wireless microphone system, Your better of buying this instead link below. [Polsen OLM-10 Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone] from B&H https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/944398-REG/polsen__olm_10_omni_directional_lav.html?sts=pi&pim=Y

Q: 8. Is there a way to use this mic with a Mac laptop, say for Zoom? I'm guessing I would need to adapt the lightning connector to either USB or TRS male. But will Zoom recognize that?

A: You can use this: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1561512-REG/saramonic_sr_c2003_short_usb_type_c.html?sts=pi&pim=Y

Q: 9. Dumb question, would this work if I plugged this into an average aux port?

A: Whether you are referencing an Aux In port or an Aux Out port it will not work because mic signal is much lowerl than line level signal like from a headphone output for example. Because of that, the ESM-1-MN would only be compatible with a microphone input.

Q: 10. Does this work on Senheiser ew100 G2 and G3?

A: Yes, the Saramonic SR-M1 can be used with Sennheiser transmitters.
