The light beige Countryman E6 Omnidirectional Earset Mic for Azden Wireless Transmittersis a vocal microphone with an adjustable boom that weighs less than one tenth of an ounce and is designed to be used by only one person. Once adjusted, it will continually hold this shape.

The E6 earset can be used on either ear for capturing audio and rejecting unwanted sound, feedback, or surrounding noise from stage monitors or nearby speakers in houses of worship, theater, and outdoor vocal and speech applications.

The low-profile, omnidirectional E6 earset virtually disappears against the skin, so performers will forget they're wearing a mic. This version offers the lowest gain for the most powerful vocals that require the highest overload. In addition, the earset comes with three protective caps with different high-frequency response characteristics that control the amount of crispness or sibilance (response at 15 kHz). This omnidirectional E6 earset's cable terminates to a 4-pin Hirose connector for direct connection to Azden UHF 41BT wireless bodypack transmitters.

The Countryman earsets are very small, lightweight, and the least visible headworn microphones.

The classic E6 is a good choice when one person will wear the microphone. Because the boom is stiffer, it can be adjusted to fit, then stored away and quickly reworn.

The E6's stainless steel boom is tough and can be bent and re-bent to fit different performers. It is highly resistant to makeup, sweat, and moisture when used with the supplied protective caps. The earset should always have a protective cap in place to keep sweat, makeup, and other foreign material out of the microphone.

The E6 earset's flexible boom is easily shaped right on the performer's face. Changeable protective caps let you shape the frequency response for different situations or to match other microphones. This omnidirectional version includes three protective caps—+4 dB (bright), +8 dB (very bright) and +0 dB (flat)—that controls the amount of crispness or sibilance (response at 15 kHz.)

Easy adjustment keeps the mic in a comfortable position for rejecting unwanted sounds. The omnidirectional E6 earset provides more isolation and is suitable for situations where there are loud monitors, extreme feedback, or environmental noise.

The included removable, quick-swap cable detaches from the actual earset, making it completely replaceable in the event of a short or break. The replaceable cable design makes upgrading wireless microphone systems easy as they are available in a wide selection of connections to accommodate most wireless transmitters.

A: The headphones typically work for playback of recordings and not to monitor the microphone while recording unless you use a recording app with the monitoring feature. Also if you are using a mic with an XLR connector you can monitor with headphones with this cable B&H # SEIPMIC1RA from Sescom.

Q: 4. Can this microphone be used on the BT 1000 mk2 series of transmitter? Thankyou!

A: This mic is only confirmed to be compatible with the 41BT transmitter, so although it may be compatible with other transmitters with a 4-pin Hirose input connector this cannot be guaranteed.

Q: 5. can I monitor what the mic is picking up through headphones?

A: Yes, headphones can be used to monitor the audio that the mic is picking up. Since the mic does not have its own built-in headphone jack, you will need to connect headphones to the headphone jack on your camera or recorder (or any other device you connect the mic to) in order to monitor the audio.

Q: 6. Does it require 48V phantom power?

A: No, the Polsen ESM-1-MN Single-Sided Earset Microphone does not require 48V of phantom power, it requires 1.5 to 5V of plug-in power which can be supplied through the 3.5mm mic input on many recorders or cameras, as well as by the 3.5mm jack on certain computers.

Q: 7. Dumb question, would this work if I plugged this into an average aux port?

A: Whether you are referencing an Aux In port or an Aux Out port it will not work because mic signal is much lowerl than line level signal like from a headphone output for example. Because of that, the ESM-1-MN would only be compatible with a microphone input.

Q: 8. What is the guarantee on this lavalier?

A: The Lav by RODE comes with a limited one year manufactures warranty against defects

Q: 9. Could this be used with a Rode VXLR+ 3.5mm TRS female to XLR male adapter with phantom power converter to use it as a wired mic?

A: Yes, the Polsen ESM-1-35H Single-Sided Earset Microphone for Sennheiser Transmitters (B&H # POESM135H) can be used with the RODE VXLR+ 3.5mm TRS Female to XLR Male Adapter with Phantom Power Converter (B&H # ROVXLRP) in order to connect it to a wired XLR microphone input. As another option, you could use the similar Polsen ESM-1-MN Single-Sided Earset Microphone for Recorders and Wireless Transmitters (B&H # POESM1MN) for connection to a standard 3.5mm TRS mic input with plug-in power. Either version of the earset mic can be used with the VXLR+ adapter for connection to an XLR mic input. The difference between the two models is that the version for Sennheiser transmitters has a locking 3.5mm connector and the version for recorders has a standard non-locking 3.5mm connector.

Q: 10. Can you use this with a MixPre 3 II recorder? Else is there another preferred wired lav?

A: It is not recommended to connect a lapel microphone directly to the 3.5mm Aux/Mic input on the Sound Devices MixPre-3 II. The Saramonic DK3A Premium Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone could, however, be connected to the XLR inputs on the MixPre-3 II using an XLR adapter that converts phantom power such as the Rode VXLR+ 3.5mm TRS Female to XLR Male Adapter with Phantom Power Converter (BH #ROVXLRP): https://bhpho.to/3JrNPql
