Q: 1. I am new to audio recording. I heard this requires phantom power. is phantom power the same for most audio recorders? Specifically, I have a Zoom H6. would all I need to do to make the Countryman lapel work is turn on Phantom Power? Or does it require another purchase to give it power?

A: You are correct that it needs Phantom power. The H6 - and most other recorders that spot an XLR mic input - will provide Phantom power and no additional hardware will be required to power this mic.

Q: 2. Will this work with the Roland R-07?

A: Yes, this mic will work with the Roland R-07 potable audio recorder. Please make sure the plug-in power for the external mic input is selected.

Q: 3. How do identify the active side of the Countryman EMW mic?

A: Although the Countryman EMW Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone has an omnidirectional pickup pattern, the most active side of the microphone is the "grille" side, which is shown facing outward in product images.

Q: 4. Will this work with DJI mics?

A: Yes, the Countryman EMW Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone for Digital Recorders uses a 3.5mm TRS plug and only requires 1.5 volts of plug-in power. It will work with the DJI mic wireless transmitter, as well as similar models like the RODE Wireless GO II. Countryman also offers the EMW mics in other configurations (for a hard-wired XLR connection) and in a range of compatibility options for use with many other wireless systems that are available.

Q: 5. Will the Countryman EMW mics work with Saramonic UMW Mic9 transmitters?

Q: 7. Is there a beige version that can work with Zoom F2?

A: BH #COMEMWFLSR would be compatible with the Zoom F2, which accepts lavaliers with a locking 3.5mm Sennheiser-style connector.

Q: 8. Any opinions on the Shelved versus Peak frequency response? Do you find this version works okay behind clothes? Most of what I do will be behind clothes, but not always a lot of clothes. I don't want to buy a mic for every situation. In your opinions is it better to record with shelved and add EQ to the high-end later (if needed) or to record peaked and pull back EQ if needed?

A: Countryman describes the difference as follows: "Shelved for normal lavalier use, peaked for use behind clothing." Based on what you wrote you may be better off getting the peaked - as "most" is behind clothes - and you can always EQ back when used in situations where it is not under clothing. It is easier to take out frequencies, than adding missing frequencies. I hope this helps

Q: 9. Will this mic work with my Sennheiser EW100 G2 and G4?

A: Not really, Instead look at item# MEMWPFF05BSR, or search for Countryman EMW Sennheiser

Q: 10. does it have a self contained battery?

A: No, but if you want an dedicated power source you can purchase a phantom power unit for under $100 usually.
