The light beige Countryman E6X Omnidirectional Earset Mic for Sony Wirelessis a versatile blend of the E6 and the E6i earset that features a springy, thin earpiece and a flexible boom and is suitable for use when a few people will be using the same mic.

The E6X 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 E6X 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 E6X earset's cable terminates to a 4-pin Hirose connector for direct connection to Sony DWT-B01, DWT-G01, DWT-S01, and DWT-V01 wireless bodypack transmitters.

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

The E6 Flex or E6X offers a versatile blend of the E6 and the E6i. With a springy, thin earpiece and a flexible boom, the E6 Flex is secure on the ear and fast to fit without compromising true invisibility and sound.

The E6X'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 E6X 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 E6X 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.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Does this mic work well with a camcorder using an XLR adapter?

A: The ECM 44B does work well when connected to a camcorder. If your camcorder does not offer an XLR input we recommend the Kopul LMT-100 adapter cable. Many consumer camcorders and DSLR cameras feature a 3.5mm input jack and this cable adapts the mic correctly.

Q: 2. Connecting with the Kopul Low to High Impedance Transformer should the camera use the 3.5mm LINE or 3.5mm MIC setting?

A: When connecting the Sony ECM-44B Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone to a 3.5mm input on a camera using the Kopul LMT100 Low to High Impedance Matching Transformer (B&H # KOLMT100), set the camera's input level on the mic level setting.

Q: 3. To link this to a DSLR with a 3.5mm jack in a way that adds to the length of the cord, I could use a 20' Kopul Premium Performance 3000 Series XLR M to XLR F Microphone Cable, plus a Kopul LMT100 - Low to High Impedance Matching Transformer, correct? The length will not degrade the sound, and I can go right into the camera?

A: Correct. A standard XLR mic cable in addition to the Kopul LMT-100 cable will allow you to connect the ECM-44B directly to a DSLR. At this length would not affect the audio quality.

Q: 4. Can this mic be connectected to an additional XLR cable to extend the distance from camera to the subject?

A: Yes just plug it into the silver base. That's where the battery goes, just use a regular mic cable.

Q: 5. Hello, does this wireless headset microphone work for mirrorless cameras? Any additional accessory is needed for it to work?

A: Yes, the Samson AirLine Micro Wireless Earset System can be connected to a mirrorless camera. You can use a standard 3.5mm TRS aux cable like the StarTech Right-Angle 3.5mm to Right-Angle 3.5mm Stereo Audio Cable - Black, 3' (B&H # STMU3MMS2RA), the Pearstone Stereo Mini Male to Stereo Mini Male Cable - Black, 6' (B&H # PEMMSA106B), or any similar cable in the length that you desire.

Q: 6. which airline micro wireless to go with at zip code 25560?

A: It doesn't really matter you can pick whatever frequency block you want. It only matters if you start running multiple systems at the same time.

Q: 7. Sound-wise would this be as good as a 77B? That is, if I don't need the smaller profile of the 77B would this 44B sound as good?

A: The main difference between the ECM 77B and 44B other than physical size, would be the frequency response. The 77B extends lower than the 44B, however generally for speech and broadcast applications those would be rolled off. If size is of no importance, the ECM 44B is a fine choice and very popular in broadcast applications.

Q: 8. I need a mike to match with an old ECM-50PS. Would this have similar sonic, gain characteristics?

A: It's close for our purposes but we just do talking heads. We are on a limited budget and purchased them. I would suggest 55B if you want to match 50PS

Q: 9. is there a difference between the ECM-44 or the ECM-44b?
