The Countryman E6s Omnidirectional Microphone for AKGis a miniature earset microphone for virtually invisible operation. The compact size and placement just in front of the ear make this microphone particularly well-suited for intimate theater and broadcast applications, or any use where low mic visibility is a key factor.

The omnidirectional pickup pattern provides a generous and forgiving pickup area around the perimeter of the capsule, while the stainless steel construction stands up to daily use, makeup, and sweat. The mic also comes with 3 different interchangeable caps that let you choose between a flat, bright, or very bright frequency response.

This version of the E6s is light beige and comes with a 1mm diameter cable. It terminates to a Switchcraft TA3-F connector for use with AKG wireless transmitters.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. WILL THIS WORK WITH B6W4FF05BSL?

A: This model of the Countryman B6 features an 1/8 locking connector for use with Sennheiser wireless transmitters. The B6 with model number B6W4FF05BSL features a 4 pin female connector (TA4F) that is compatible with Shure brand wireless mic transmitters. Please contact a Sales Representative here at 800-606-6969 or audio@a href= http://bandh.com target= _blank bandh.com/a if you require assistance in locating a mic for your specific application.

Q: 2. Does the microdot (SE) connecter allow you swap between 3.5mm locking and XLR connectors?

A: Yes, the Microdot connector is hardwired to the cable for this Countryman B6 Omni Lavalier Mic, and you can use adapters to convert the Microdot connector to XLR or locking 3.5mm TRS.

Q: 3. What is the maximum distance and does it record ?

A: Not very clear question... It is a microphone and it has the ability, to transform sound into electric signals. To record the signals, you need a recorder, where the mic is plugged in. As it has a omnidirectional capsule, there is no front or behind on this mic. So a directional mic would hear more in the distance than this one does. It is normally used on places where a mic has to be hidden (film, broadcast). Hope this answers the question.

Q: 4. What is the difference between the standard, low and very low sensitivity?

A: The sensitivity levels for the Countryman B6 correspond to 16.0, 7.0, and 2.0 mV/Pa respectively.

Q: 5. Will this work with a Tentacle Track-E recorder?

A: Yes, the Countryman B6 Omni Lavalier Mic, Standard Sens, with Hardwired 3.5mm Locking Connector for Sennheiser Wireless Transmitters (Black) would be compatible with the Tentacle Track-E recorder.

Q: 6. Will this work with the seinheiser xsw-d pack?

A: Yes, this Countryman B6 microphone is compatible for use with Sennheiser's XSW-D wireless transmitter.

Q: 7. is it possible to connect this to a Tascam DR-05 recorder with an xlr to 3.5mmm jack adapter I want to use it in my pocket as a dual system unit. The B6 doesnt say it need phantom but it doesnt take a battery if there is a way for this to work list what I need please .. thanks.. also I have this version already as well as the Tascam?

A: The Countryman B6 Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone with 3-Pin XLR Hardwired Connection will not work into the Tascam Dr-05 with a XLR to 3.5mm adapter. The mic requires phantom power to operate. As an alternative, Countryman makes the EMW lavalier wired for Digital recorders; B&H# COMEMWSFF05B.

Q: 8. Will this work with the Rodelink filmmaker kit?

A: Manufacturers wire their mics and packs differently. Call Countryman tech support. They have a human that answers the phone and knows more about their mics than anyone you will find on this forum.

Q: 9. Will this work with the Zoom H1?

A: If the Zoom H1 has plug in power on the mic entrance, it will work. Look in the menu.I personally never tried with a Zoom H1, but I worked with a Zoom H2 and H2n with the B6. Works great. You only need a 3,5mm Jack on the B6.

Q: 10. Is this for sennheiser g3 ?

A: Yes, this Countryman B3 is compatible for use with Sennheiser G3 wireless transmitters that have a 3.5mm locking connector.

[0.456 lb] I'm an independent video producer, and this mic has been a terrific addition to my kit. It's incredibly easy to hide and has great quality sound. I use it with my Zoom (but make sure Phantom Power is on, since the mic doesn't come with it's own power source!), and it's a great set-up. 5

Mike	15/09/2024
[10 x 10 x 2"] Great sounding and incredibly invisible lav. I use it in docs for interviews or in narrative film for actors with tiny voices and wide shots where you can't get the boom close in. It is tiny, easy to hide and sounds quite good, especially combined with a pro wireless system like a Lectro. 5

Jasmine	13/09/2024
[0.456 lb] Love the skinny cable and tiny mic on this lav. The carrying case is great, along with all the different response caps. Really warm, natural tones, my new favorite! 5

Steve	03/09/2024
[Light Beige] Great to hide in tie knot. 5

Randy	22/08/2024
[Plug-In Power] We were hoping to get a second Sanken cos-11D to have matching mics, but that mic has been on backorder for some time now. Needed a second mic for a job and we gave the Countryman B6 a shot. Very happy with its performance. And the case, accessories that come with it make it that much more valuable. They offer the mic for pretty much every receiver available. It was definitely worth it and we might possibly be looking at purchasing more Countryman B6 mics in the future. 5

Craig	08/08/2024
[Light Beige] Didn't take long listening to my audio track to realize that I got exactly what I needed in my interview and it sounded exactly like I wanted it to when I was shopping for a lav mic. The results speak for themselves and they don't disappoint. 5

Kevin	06/08/2024
[Light Beige] I've been using B6 mics for a long time now for film. They sound great and are very easy to hide due to the tiny capsule. I'm not sure DPA and Sanken Cos 11d have been dethroned yet, but this guy is on par as far as I'm concerned--especially considering the ease of hiding it. 5

Dan	04/07/2024
[Light Beige] Great for hiding, especially with white or light colored shirts. Even when used visibly with a clip, it has a neat look. Sound quality is always good with the B6, especially in such a small package. Make sure you order the correct connector; no return, special order items are no fun tracking down refund/exchange options from Countryman. I wish Countryman made a nicer, more discrete mic clip. The cheap plastic ones are, well, plasticy and awkward looking. Can't find third-party clip for a cable that thin. Also, windscreen is off-white, not pure white. Still worthy of a five star rating. I often poke the mic through the button hole of a shirt, letting it stick out a little to avoid rustling. Most buttons are white so it's hardly visible at all. A little tape on the inside of the shirt and great audio is on the way. 5

Derek	04/06/2024
[Plug-In Power] I've mostly had middle grade lav mics. Not the worst but not the best. This mic is so great I wish I would have just bought this sooner and saved myself so much hassle. Because of the size of the mic I can put on talent so much easier. There's way less rustling noise, which was the biggest challenge with the cheaper mics and the biggest frustration in even using lav mics. This mic makes me want to use it in all situations now. If I had a shotgun interview situation I use to want to have a safety lav mic but didn't want to deal with the hassle of the other mics. Now I'm happy I'll have both shotgun and lav for my interviews. And for walk and talk stuff I know I'll have less post hassle in that this mic will be clear and clean audio with little if none of noise issues. 5
