The tan E2 Unidirectional Earset Microphone with Detachable Cable and Hirose 4-Pin AT Connector from Countryman is an over-the-ear earset, similar to a classic E6 earset, but with a shorter boom designed to work with Audio-Technica wireless microphone systems. It provides suitable isolation at the mouth, but with less visibility than an E6 omni earset, and can be used to capture audio for loud speaking and vocal applications.

With an equalizing circuit built into the audio connector, the frequency response is tuned so you can experience full-bodied bass and precise highs that are warm and natural. The element, boom, and sub-miniature connector are all easily hidden on the user's face. The boom position near the ear helps to eliminate breath pops and vocal plosives on the mic. The detachable cable terminates to a Hirose 4-pin AT connector for direct connection to an Audio-Technica 1100 Series, 200 Series, 2000 Series or 3000 Series bodypack transmitter (sold separately).

For Audio-Technica Wireless Transmitters    20 Hz to 20 kHz Frequency Response    For Loud Speaking and Vocals    Fits over the Ear    Includes Carrying Case    Black and White Cable Clips    Windscreen and Protective Cap

The E2 Earset redefines pure sound in a virtually invisible package. It offers better ease of use than a lavalier or podium microphone.

There are two aspects of the E2 design that make it possible to capture sound so far away from the mouth: strong off-axis rejection and precisely tuned frequency response. For on-axis interference, the frequency response tuning in the connector of the E2 allows you to fully capitalize on the proximity boosting effect of the mic to achieve even stronger isolation in the voice band.

Like the connector for the industry-standard E6, the connector for the E2 is built tougher and more water resistant than previous models.

Lower gain, for powerful vocals requiring the highest overload.

Q: 7. will this work with the blue yeti pro xlr connection? would like to hook up to a mixer

A: The Yeti Pro is wired standard for 5 pin stereo XLR cables, and should work with most third party 5pin to dual 3 pin XLR cables.

Q: 8. How long is this cable?

A: Crackling with mini plugs is usually an issue of having Plug-In Power turned on in the recorder. The NT4 mike does not run on Plug-In Power...when you want to connect it with a mini cable you need to power the mike with an internal nine-volt battery. So turn off Plug-In Power on the recorder. You'll get better battery life on your recorder as well! (An alkaline nine volt battery will run the NT4 for about 400 hours according to the Rode site.)
