The black Countryman E6 Omnidirectional Earset Mic, Low Gain with Detachable 1mm Cable and cH-Style 4-Pin Connector for Audio Technica 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 cH-style 4-pin connector for direct connection to Audio Technica ATW-3201 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.

A: We have not had that issue with our mic , it was purchased as an upgrade from the mic that came with our wireless unit. It was a big improvement . It has always been clipped on tie not the lapel.

Q: 4. Can this be used with the Beachtek DXA micro pro? Then I can record into my camera with the XLR on the preamp but does the clip that comes with it attach to the preamp? Or do I need some sort of adapter to make it attach to a cold shoe?

A: Yes, the AT875R microphone can be used with the Beachtek DXA-Micro-Pro to record audio into a camera. The DXA-Micro-Pro can be attached on top of the camera in the shoe mount or mounted below in the camera's tripod socket. The clip that is included with the microphone is used to attach the mic to a mic stand. If you want to attach the mic to the camera using a cold shoe mount, you should use a shockmount like the Auray DUSM-1 Universal Shockmount (B&H # AUDUSM1) or Rode SM3-R Camera Shoe Shockmount (B&H # ROSM3R). If you want to mount both the DXA-Micro-Pro and AT875R on top of the camera, that is also possible. The shockmounts mentioned above both have a 3/8" female thread on the bottom of the cold shoe. The male post on top of the DXA-Micro-Pro 1/4"-20. You can use a CAMVATE Cold Shoe Mount with 1/4"-20 Thread (B&H # CAC1347) to create a cold shoe on top of the DXA-Micro-Pro or use an Impact Female 1/4"-20 to Male 3/8"-16 Thread Adapter (B&H # IMCA109) to attach the shockmount by the female thread on the bottom.

To use these two components together, a device that provides a phantom-powered XLR input preamp and converts the signal to a 3.5mm microphone output is required.
