The tan Countryman E6 Omnidirectional Earset Mic for Audio Technica Wirelessis 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, omnidirectional 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. 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 E6 earset's cable terminates to a cH-style 4-pin connector for direct connection to Audio Technica ATW-T5201 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. 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 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.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Hard Question but what would be the similarities and differences between this mic and a mic like the Audio-Technica 4053 or the Audix SCX-1. Do all of these mics try and achieve the same effect? (because im hoping the BP4025 would be best both outdoor and indoor) . Are all these mics trying to achieve the same effect? If so which is most effective?

A: The Audio-Technica BP4025 X/Y Stereo Field Recording Microphone has some significant differences to the Audio-Technica AT4053b Hypercardioid Condenser Microphone and the Audix SCX1 Studio Condenser Microphone, with the main difference being its X/Y Stereo Pickup pattern. The BP4025 is a great microphone for capturing environmental sounds, ambient audio, or in any scenario where a stereo audio image is desired. The AT4053b and SCX1 are both mono pencil condenser microphones. The AT4053b has a directional, hypercardioid pickup pattern and the SCX1 has a slightly wider cardioid pickup pattern. Both are well-suited for studio and live audio recording and reinforcement applications and less suited for field recordings.

Q: 2. I'm intrigued by the M-S setting, which Lisa described as traditional stereo. I'm wondering if the mic is set to MS, whether it could be used to mic two people sitting very close together for an interview. Possible?

A: The Audio-Technica BP4029 (AT835ST) records in M-S Mode and Left/Right Stereo Modes. Yes you can use it to interview people sitting very close together, up to about 5 feet away from the mic at the very most.

Q: 3. Hi,the link says it is a AT875 where as the kit detail mentions that the mic is AT875 R . Please confirm on the model number ? I am in market for AT875R and the kit seems econmical.

A: This kit includes the Audio-Technica AT875R Short Condenser Shotgun Microphone.

Q: 4. How could I use this with the canon 60D?

A: The AT875 shotgun mic requires phantom power which a DSLR camera is not able to provide. To connect this an similar mics that require phantom power, an additional preamp/adapter will be necessary for connection and power. The Beachtek units are a great choice.

Q: 5. How is the quality of this microphone compared to a similarly priced mono shotgun? I realize it can't possibly be as good since it is a jack of all trades, but does it compare reasonably well against the rode NTG3 or even the Sennheiser MKE 600?

A: The audio and build quality of the Audio-Technica BP4029 are very good. There are differences in design between the stereo BP4029 and the mono Rode NTG3 and Sennheiser MKE 600 microphones and in the way that they capture sound. Mono and stereo mics are typically used for different applications. The NTG3 and MKE 600 each have one cardioid mic element for a very focused pattern which picks up sound from directly in front of the mic. The stereo BP4029 has a mid-side configuration with separate cardioid and figure-8 mic elements which work together to create a stereo image. The cardioid element is used for "mid" and faces the sound source while the figure-8 element is the "side" mic which is typically aimed at a 90 degree angle from the sound source and creates the left and right split. ​The BP4029 offers three selectable settings -- M-S direct, LR wide, and LR narrow. In M-S mode, the BP4029 provides a traditional stereo sound. In addition to the basic M-S pattern, the BP4029 also offers LR wide mode to pick up more of the ambient sounds for a wider stereo image while the LR narrow mode picks up less of the ambient sound for a more narrow stereo image. The three settings allow the mic to be adjusted based on the recording environment in order to capture the best possible audio. So the mic you select should be based on the application it will be used for, the direction of the audio source, as well as the recording environment.

Q: 6. What is the length, in cm, of the grill so I can determine which size fuzzy windscreen? Thank you!

A: Windscreens are generally measured by diameter, and the diameter of the Audio-Technica AT875R Short Shotgun Microphone is 0.83"/21 mm. B&H # AUWSS2012 would be recommended as an outdoor windscreen for this model.

Q: 7. If I only connect one of the xlr's can I use this mic as a mono podcast or youtube mic?

A: Yes, but you will only hear half of the information picked up by the mic, The one that is connected must provide phantom power.

Q: 8. Which capsules are in this microphone - cardioid or omnidirectional? If you use this microphone to record close quiet sounds and whispers, at a distance of about 5-15 cm from the capsule, will it have a strong effect of proximity and distortion, or will it be normal?

A: The capsules in the Audio-Technica BP4025 microphone are cardioid. This microphone would capture whispers at that distance very nicely.

Q: 9. I'd like to use this mic on my Canon C70. Is there a XLR 5-pin female to dual mini XLR 3-pin male cable?

A: The BP4025 comes with an XLR 5-pin female to dual XLR 3-pin male Y-cable. We do not a Y-cable with mini-XLR 3-pin male connectors, but you can use adapters to convert standard XLR male to mini-XLR male. The Laird Digital Cinema Premium 3-Pin Standard XLR Female to TA3M 3-Pin Mini XLR Male Audio Adapter (B&H # LARD1XFTA3M) will work or if you prefer longer adapter cables, you can use the Blackmagic Design Set of 2 Mini XLR to XLR Audio Cables for Video Assist 4K - 19.5" (B&H # BLAXLRMINI2). Both of these options will convert the standard XLR male connector to mini-XLR male for compatibility with the C70 mic inputs.

Q: 10. Does this come with an appropriate adapter to mount to a Sony FS700?

A: No it does not include an appropriate shock/shoe mount. Only an AT8405 Microphone Stand Clip is included. Recommended: Rycote InVision Video Hot Shoe Microphone Suspension - Lyre Shockmount B&H # RYIVSMSF: https://bhpho.to/32b9xZK Please note that the FS-7 has an integrated shotgun mic holder that will accept this AT875 mic without any accessories. This Sanken ROCS Rubber O-Rings for CS-1 (10) B&H # SAROCS would provide a more snug fit. https://bhpho.to/347rKJm
