The cocoa Countryman E6 Omnidirectional Earset Mic, Low Gain with Detachable 1mm Cable and 2.5mm Locking Connector for Comtek 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 2.5mm locking connector for direct connection to Comtek M-216 and M-72 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. Does this cable work with batteries having a p-tap connector? Are d-tap and p-tap compatible or exactly the same?

A: If I'm not mistaken, D-tap (named after the shape) and P-tap (abbreviated from PowerTap) are the same connector and interchangeable. In my experience, D-tap is the more common nomenclature in the UK, whereas P-tap is more common the US (and probably Canada). The only other variety I know of is Blueshape's B-tap which is propriety and a different shape.

Q: 2. Can this measure how quiet a room with some accuracy or is it strictly loudness meter?

A: According to MicW, the i437L can measure sound levels as low as 30 dBA, which may be adequate for you. If you want to measure ambient levels in special rooms, such as recording studios or other spaces where sound isolation is critical, then you may need a measurement mic with a larger diaphragm (e.g. 1/2 ) to get an accurate reading of the acoustic noise floor.
