The black Countryman E6 Omnidirectional Earset Mic, Low Gain with Detachable 2mm Cable and 3.5mm Locking Connector for Azden 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 3.5mm locking connector for direct connection to Azden older 10BT and 41BT 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. Hello, quick question: will this mic connect to an iPhone (for ex.: iPhone 7) and actually record sound directly to the camera app (Filmic Pro, etc.)? I need to ask because I purchased a Rhode VideoMic Pro 2 years ago for this use and was very disappointed to learn that it WOULDN'T record directly to my phone.

A: The SMX-15 microphone will work with an iPhone but you will have to use 2 adapter cables. One cable is the Apple Lightning to headphone adapter that you will need for the iPhone 7. The other cable is a TRRS adapter. For that we recommend using our HX-Mi TRRS Mic & Headphone Cable for Smartphones & Tablets.

Q: 2. Anyone use this with a SmallHD 500 or 700 series monitor? SmallHD makes their own but it regulates to 6.4v 2.5A, whereas this Zacuto regulates to 8v 2A. Probably a safer bet to use the SmallHD cable but I prefer the Zacuto's coiled design and length. Would love to know if anyone is safely using this with their SmallHD 502 specifically though. Thanks!

A: I use these on my 702 and 502 and they work great. Be cautious about the polarity though. One time it was plugged in backwards and fried. Could have been my cheap p-tap plate though.
