The tan Countryman E2 Unidirectional Earset Microphone XLR Tanfrom Countryman E2 Unidirectional Earset Microphone XLR Tanis an over-the-ear earset, similar to a classic E6 earset but with a shorter boom designed to work with theater, live stage, and studio systems. It provides suitable isolation at the mouth, but with less visibility than an E6 Omni earset, and can be used to capture audio for general speaking and vocal applications.

With an equalizing circuit built into the audio connector, the frequency response is tuned so you can experience full-bodied bass and precise highs that are warm and natural. The element, boom, and sub-miniature connector are all easily hidden from the user's face. The boom position near the ear helps to eliminate breath pops and vocal plosives on the mic.

For Theater, Live & Studio Use    For Strong Vocals    20 Hz to 20 kHz Frequency Response    Fits over the Ear    Hardwired 3-Pin XLR Connection    Includes Carrying Case    Black and White Cable Clips    Windscreen and Protective Cap

The E2 Earset redefines pure sound in a virtually invisible package. It offers better ease of use than a lavalier or podium microphone.

There are two aspects of the E2 design that make it possible to capture sound so far away from the mouth: strong off-axis rejection and precisely tuned frequency response. For on-axis interference, the frequency response tuning in the connector of the E2 allows you to fully capitalize on the proximity boosting effect of the mic to achieve even stronger isolation in the voice band.

Like the connector for the industry-standard E6, the E2's connector is built tougher and more water resistant than previous models.

Lower gain, for powerful vocals requiring the highest overload.
