The tan E2 Unidirectional Earset Microphone with Detachable Cable and TA5F Connector from Countryman is an over-the-ear earset, similar to a classic E6 earset, but with a shorter boom designed to work with selected Lectrosonics 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 TA5F connector for direct connection to Lectrosonics SM, SMa, SMb, SMDa, SMDb, SMQ, SMQa, SMQV, SMV, UM400a, and UM450 Series bodypack transmitters (sold separately).

For Lectrosonics 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: 1. Will this work with Canon SX60HS?

A: The Canon Hand Strap E2 (Black) is designed for use on SLR and DSLR cameras, not point-and-shoot cameras with built-in lenses. That being said, while the Canon Hand Strap E2 (Black) has not been tested on the Canon PowerShot SX60 HS Digital Camera, it does seem that the Hand Strap E2 may be used on the Canon PowerShot SX60 HS Digital Camera.

Q: 2. We currently have HT 300 EV microphones. Are The HT300C compatible with the Receiver/Transmitter that we currently have? What is the frequency band that the microphones need?

A: The Electro-Voice HT300 handheld microphone/transmitter works with the R300 receiver. The R300-HD is the complete wireless mic system with the handheld transmitter. The HT300C transmitter operates within the "C" frequency band which is 516 to 532 MHz, so your receiver will need to operate on the "C" band as well. This is the only frequency band available for use in North America. We do offer the Electro-Voice R300 Wireless Microphone System Receiver (B&H # ELR300RXC) separately and the complete system with the transmitter and receiver, which is the Electro-Voice R300-HD Wireless Handheld Microphone System - C: 516 to 532 MHz (B&H # ELR300HD).

Q: 3. what version of firmware does the device come loaded with?

A: While there is no in body stabilization, this camera does offer continuous and single auto focus.

Q: 8. Can the receiver mount to a camera or a tripod?

A: This is a table top design and doesn't inherently have any provision for portable applications. You could have a look at the bottom of the module to determine how modifiable it is. Good luck.
