The tan Countryman E6 Directional Earset Mic for Zaxcom 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, directional E6 earset virtually disappears against the skin, so performers will forget they're wearing a mic. This version offers medium gain for very loud speaking, such as in theater performances and most vocals. Additionally, the earset comes with two pattern-changeable protective caps for maximum isolation and gain before feedback. This directional E6 earset's cable terminates to a LEMO 3-pin connector for direct connection to Zaxcom TRX900AA, TRX900LA, TRX900LT, TRX900LTH, TRX900LTHS, TRX900LTS, TRXFB3, TRXLA2, TRXLA3, TRXLT3, and ZMT3 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. The directional earset protective caps adjust the pattern from cardioid to hypercardioid.

Easy adjustment keeps the mic in a comfortable position for rejecting unwanted sounds. The directional 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.

Q: 7. I understand the VideoMic Me is designed for devices where the camera is on the opposite side from the audio input jack. I have a Galaxy S5 (which has them on the same side) - would it be possible to make it work if (hypothetically) I could find a short TRRS extension cable?

A: By using a cable you will still be feeding audio into your smartphone but keep in mind the TRRS jack on the VideoMic Me is also the physical connection point that holds the mic onto the phone.

Q: 9. Will this also work on DSLRs?

A: No, it will not. The design of the friction mount included with the Rode VideoMic Me Directional Mic for Smartphones, B&H # ROVMME, makes it virtually impossible to connect to the microphone input terminal on a DSLR camera or mirrorless digital camera which normally is on the side of the camera. There are small options from Rode designed for camera usage with a different terminal connection, such as either the relatively small Rode VideoMicro Compact On-Camera Microphone, B&H # ROVIDEOMICRO, or the slightly larger Rode VideoMic GO Lightweight On-Camera Microphone, B&H # ROVMG, all currently similarly priced (as of the date/time of this reply).
