The tan Countryman E6 Omnidirectional Earset Mic, Low Gain with Detachable 1mm Cable and TA3F Connector for Audix 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 TA3F connector for direct connection to Audix RAD360-BP 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. 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: 2. Could this be used with a Rode VXLR+ 3.5mm TRS female to XLR male adapter with phantom power converter to use it as a wired mic?

A: Yes, the Polsen ESM-1-35H Single-Sided Earset Microphone for Sennheiser Transmitters (B&H # POESM135H) can be used with the RODE VXLR+ 3.5mm TRS Female to XLR Male Adapter with Phantom Power Converter (B&H # ROVXLRP) in order to connect it to a wired XLR microphone input. As another option, you could use the similar Polsen ESM-1-MN Single-Sided Earset Microphone for Recorders and Wireless Transmitters (B&H # POESM1MN) for connection to a standard 3.5mm TRS mic input with plug-in power. Either version of the earset mic can be used with the VXLR+ adapter for connection to an XLR mic input. The difference between the two models is that the version for Sennheiser transmitters has a locking 3.5mm connector and the version for recorders has a standard non-locking 3.5mm connector.

Q: 3. 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: 4. Does it interfere with the DJI Wireless Mic like the Rode Lavalier Go?

A: The Saramonic SR-M1 is compatible with the DJI Mic transmitter units.

Q: 5. Is the windscreen removable?

A: Yes, the windscreen for the Saramonic SR-M1 Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone is removable.

Q: 6. How can I connect both my headphones AND the mic to my iPhone? Thanks!

A: The Saramonic SR-EA2D Audio Adapter with Lightning Connector (BH #SASREA2D) can be used to connect the Saramonic LavMicro U1A Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone to an iPhone while also connecting headphones for monitoring. In this scenario, the microphone would use its 3.5mm TRS connection as opposed to the included TRS to Lightning cable adapter.

Q: 7. Does the windscreen come off?

A: Yes, the windscreen can be removed from the Saramonic SR-M1 Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone Cable with 3.5mm TRS Connector (Black).

Q: 8. Is this compatible with the Tascam DR-10L, and will the plug lock to that recorder securely?

A: Yes, the Saramonic SR-UM10-M1 Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone with Locking 3.5mm Plug is compatible for use with the Tascam DR-10L Micro Portable Audio Recorder. The mic has the same type of locking connector as the recorder so it will attach securely.

Q: 9. Well this boom work in other dual port headphones? I.e. Fostex TRP50s?

A: The RODE NTH-Mic Detachable Boom Microphone for NTH-100 Headphones BH #RONTHMIC is only for the headphones listed.

Q: 10. Do these record descretely to the left and right channels or do they sum together? I could see phasing issues, if together.

A: Although not specifically mentioned by the manufacturer, it could be assumed that the microphones on the BOYA BY-M2D Digital Dual Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphones with Detachable Lightning Cable (iOS) are separated on the left and right channels of the stereo 3.5mm connection and would likely depend on the capabilities of the specific software application to further isolate each mic signal.
