The tan Countryman E6 Earset Mic for Comtek Transmitters, Tanis 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 2.5mm locking connector for direct connection to Comtek M-216 and M-72 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: 2. Is it possible to monitor audio with the Comtek PR-216 straight out of camera? I'm running two lavs into a Sony FX6 and hoping to output a audio monitor option for someone not next to camera.

A: You can go from the 3.5 mm TRS Stereo Microphone Output on the Sony FX6 into the compatible Comtek M-216 transmitter [BH #COM216] using the Aux cable that is included with the M-216, for compatibility with the PR-216 Comtek transmitter.

Q: 3. what is the difference between extended low end and standard EQ?

A: The Comtek PR-75P AutoSmart-Tuning Wireless Monitor Receiver with Extended Low End boosts the low-end frequency response of the device and is more ideal for film and TV applications where more precise monitoring is required. The "standard EQ" version of the Comtek PR-75a AutoSmart-Tuning Wireless Monitor Receiver enhances speech intelligibility and is designed for tour guide and assisted listening applications.

Q: 4. Additionally, is it possible to run audio out of the FX6 to the Comtek without using the headphone output? Ideally the shooter would use that to monitor audio levels on the spot, while the producer listens in from afar. Could I run audio out from SDI to the Comtek?

A: The Comtek PR 216 is a receiver. You need to go into a compatible Comtek transmitter to be able to do that, like the M-216 and that does not take SDI input.

Q: 5. Is there a limit to how many receivers you can add on to this?

A: The M 216 is able to transmit to an unlimited amount of receivers as long as they are operating on the same frequency.

Q: 6. Do you sell the antenna for the M 216 ?

A: Yes, we sell both antennas available for the M216.

Q: 7. What is the typical range with clear line of sight?

A: The Comtek PR-75a AutoSmart-Tuning Wireless Monitor Receiver (72 to 76 MHz) will give you a range of up to around 100-feet in the most ideal conditions.

Q: 8. Can I run an audio cable from a headphone jack on an audio source (say a camera, or a wireless microphone receiver) into the 3.5mm jack on this Comtek transmitter and have that transmit to the receiver for someone to monitor the audio that is coming out of the source's headphone jack?

A: Yes, you can take audio from a variety of sources, such as the headphone output of a camera and connect it into the transmitter's 3.5mm line input. This will allow that audio to be heard wirelessly by the person with the receiver.
