Countryman Associates E6 Omnidirectional Earset

Delivering value, comfort, and sound quality, our E6 Omnidirectional Earset Microphone provides the same impressive performance as our E6i Omnidirectional Earset with a more rigid boom and smaller silicone pad.

Practically invisible to live or broadcast audiences, the E6 is incredibly comfortable for the wearer. It captures the closest source clearly with excellent rejection of wind, ambient noise, and feedback. And its industry-unique snap-on cable extends the equipment life many times over. In addition, the snap-on cable makes your E6 compatible with virtually any wireless mic system - just buy a new cable instead of a new mic!

We've mounted our tiniest mic capsule on an even tinier boom that is rugged and incredibly lightweight. A thin silicon pad at the earpiece helps keep the boom comfortably in place, even with glasses or other head-worn accessories. We offer the widest range of boom colors to match virtually any skin tone, and each mic can easily be custom-fitted to any wearer. Once adjusted to fit your head, the tough springy boom keeps its shape when stored.

It's no surprise that Countryman's E6 Omni Earset a top choice for presenters, educators, worship leaders and pastors, broadcasters, and many, many more!

The E6 Omni microphone is supplied with a snap-on cable with specified connector, windscreen, set of three protective caps, set of two collar clips (black and white), and carrying case.

Applications:

• User-friendly for new and experienced users alike
• Excellent for singing and spoken word applications
• Extremely popular in houses of worship, theater and outdoor settings
• Directional version is ideal for situations with loud monitors, extreme feedback or environmental noise

Frequently Asked Questions:

When should I choose a directional Earset?

Countryman Earsets offer omni and directional versions, giving the user some exceptional advantages. The omni Earset rejects unwanted sound and feedback better than a lavalier almost any way you wear it, so it’s very user-friendly for new and experienced users alike. It’s ideal for anyone working with a PA system covering a room without stage monitors. For situations where there are loud monitors, extreme feedback or environmental noise, choose the Countryman directional Earset (marked with a green band). It’s much smaller and less obtrusive compared to anything else on the market. For more information on directional earsets, see your dealer or download a copy from our web site. Or simply call us if you have a question.

What is the difference between the E6 and the E6i?

The classic E6 is recommended when one person wears the microphone. Because it is stiffer and holds its shape well, it can be adjusted to fit the user’s face, stored away, and quickly unpacked and worn with a minimum of fuss. The E6i adds a soft, highly-flexible boom and a larger silicone rubber ear piece. When multiple users share a mic, the E6i is a great choice. The soft boom is fantastically durable and the extreme flexibility makes changing users a breeze.

How do I choose the right color for my skin tone?

Tan is the most popular color choice, because it works perfectly for average Caucasian skin tones, as well as olive complexions. Light beige works well in theatrical applications due to its slightly pink undertone, which is also appropriate for extremely fair skin. Cocoa is the ideal choice for African American skin tones ranging from very light to chocolate, and black is appropriate for extremely dark skin, or for situations where you want the mic to be visible. When in doubt, choose the darker option. That’s because a mic that’s too light can resemble a scar or blemish, while a mic that’s slightly darker than the background tends to blend much better and draws less attention.

Which sensitivity should I choose?

Making a microphone more sensitive to catch soft sounds means it will overload sooner for loud sounds. Because sound pressure levels vary between individuals and applications, we provide three sensitivities with three overload or clipping characteristics.

• The most sensitive (W5, no band) is for general speaking, such as presentations or sermons
• The middle sensitivity (W6, blue band) is for vocals and loud speaking, such as in theater
• The most powerful vocals require the least sensitive mic (W7, purple band) with the highest overload sound level
