The Countryman E6s Omnidirectional Microphone is 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 black and is hardwired with a 2mm diameter Duramax cable. It has a standard 3-pin XLR male connector for connection to professional sound systems.

Q: 1. I am new to audio recording. I heard this requires phantom power. is phantom power the same for most audio recorders? Specifically, I have a Zoom H6. would all I need to do to make the Countryman lapel work is turn on Phantom Power? Or does it require another purchase to give it power?

A: You are correct that it needs Phantom power. The H6 - and most other recorders that spot an XLR mic input - will provide Phantom power and no additional hardware will be required to power this mic.

Q: 5. Is this a stereo mic? My film clip using this mic is audible in only one side of headphones.

A: I think the issue is that you are recording only to one channel (left or right), this is a setting in your camera or recording device. If its a single person, then you want both channels to be using the same mono audio track, if you have two people on the clip, then decide to make them both mono on the 2 channels or alternate the speakers between the two channels. Most likely, you just need to set the camera to record the single input on both channels or in your post editing software, select the audio channel and there should be an option to copy it or reference it for both the left and right channel,

A: This vampire clip for the EMW series mic seems to be the only one they offer currently. Here's a tie clip version that would pinch clothing for an EMW as well BH #COEMWSTCB.

Q: 9. 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: 10. Will this mic work with my Sennheiser EW100 G2 and G4?
