General
Countryman design acoustically transparent products, which means that they pick up your sound accurately and clearly so that the original source is maintained.
Family company Countryman have been manufacturing professional products for use in theatre, film, TV and the like for no fewer than 35 years. These particular high-quality miniature microphones can be worn highly discreetly.
E6 headset microphone
This extremely inconspicuous microphone produces a wonderful, neutral sound, while ambient noise and feedback are ignored. A miniature condenser capsule is positioned near the mouth via a flexible steel wire with a comfortable ear cushion, so that you can easily adjust the E6 headset to the shape of your face and wear it discreetly. This Countryman E6 series is provided with a connector to allow for use in combination with a cable so that it can be used with various wireless systems and, if the cable breaks or if you are getting a different wireless microphone system, you need only replace the cable instead of the entire mic. The headset is delivered without a cable - you need to order the cable with the connector that matches your system, separately. The Countryman E6 headset is suited for multiple applications and is available in various versions.

- When in doubt about the colour, you are usually better off getting a slightly darker version. Too light a version might look like a scar.
