Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. My beige head worn (ear loop) countryman mic started breaking up - static, etc. The problem was in the connection between the cable and the mic. I rotated the part of the connector at the cable back and forth about a half turn, and it made less noise and cleared up after a few turns. Does this connector release from the mic if it is pulled out, or is it not meant to disconnect? I would like to disconnect it if possible and spray the connections with CAIG D5 to clean the connection.

A: Yes, the Countryman E6 Earset Microphone does have a detachable cable. You can see the mic without the cable in the second photo and the cable is shown by itself in the fourth photo. The cable can be replaced if needed with the Countryman E6 & E6i Snap-on Replacement Microphone Cable (B&H # COE6CT1SR) which has a 3.5mm locking connector that is compatible for use with Sennheiser wireless bodypack transmitters. Countryman also offers replacement cables in different colors and with different connectors.

Q: 2. Can this be used without a camera? Can I record direct to my Mac using an Adobe Audition or Garage Band type application?

A: Yes if you have the adapter or interface for the Apple plug. I use the Tascam iXZ for Apple. You will also need an adapter to make it a 1/4 plug.

Q: 3. My camera audio inputs are XLR. What adapter is recommended to go from 3.5 mini to XLR? Does anyone make a camera mount XLR system?

A: I use a mini plug to xlr adapator I bought through B&H . Not very expensive. However i must say I was not happy with the mic provided with the system. I had to buy another the expensive mini mic. (269 or so) I also don't like that one unit is powered by 2 aa bateries and the other is rechargeable. I like systems where both are AA battery. Sony or Sure systems are better.

Q: 4. Is this version compatible with my Sennheiser ew 100 g3?

Q: 6. I assume this should also work with an E6 TA4F microphone. Does anyone know for sure? I didn't know if each of them required different voltages. Thanks!

A: The first answer provided (Aug 14, 2018) seems incorrect. The E6, B6, and H6 microphones are electrically similar (Ref: https://countryman.com/microphone-wiring/). I would fully expect this unit to work with any of the three (with the TA4F connector).

Sony wires their 3.5mm mics differently, so this will not work with Sony transmitters. Countryman has many version of their mic models to cover most manufacturer's wiring and technical specifications.
