COUNTRYMAN
E6 DIRECTIONAL
EARSET MICROPHONE
Thanks for choosing the Countryman E6 Directional Earset microphone. We’re confident
you’ll find it the finest, most natural sounding, and most unobtrusive directional
microphone available.
The Earset directional mic provides high-quality pickup while rejecting noise, bleed from
stage monitors, and feedback—it’s a world-class vocal mic with far better isolation than
an omnidirectional mic can provide. The ultra-miniature condenser element is held close
to the mouth by a thin boom and comfortable ear pad. The entire assembly weighs less
than one-tenth of an ounce and almost disappears against the skin, so performers can
forget it’s there and audiences barely see it.
Changeable end caps let you select a cardioid pickup pattern for ease of placement, or
a hypercardioid pattern when more isolation is needed.
We use innovative engineering to pack this great a sound into such a tiny mic. For this
reason, getting the best results requires some simple techniques that might not be
immediately intuitive. This booklet will help you get the most out of your E6 Directional
Earset.

Handling the E6
While the E6 Directional is designed for durability,
moisture-resistance and flexibility, it is a highprecision instrument and we do suggest some basic
precautions to prevent damage or sonic degradation:
• Always use the E6 with a cap in place. The end
caps are critical to the sound quality and also
protect the capsule from makeup, moisture, and
debris.
• When a protective cap is not in place, avoid
touching the end of the capsule with fingers or
obstructing the opening with foreign substances.
• The earpiece, boom, and end cap may be cleaned
with alcohol wipes, spirit gum remover, or acetone.
Do not use water or chemicals on the capsule itself.
• Clean the caps separately.

Handling the E6 (cont.)
The E6’s earpiece and boom are constructed of an
exceptionally flexible material which can be easily
shaped to the wearer’s needs. To prevent damage to
your Earset:
• Avoid bending it over sharp angles (such as the
end of your ngernail) or around a tight radius (less
than 1/2” diameter).
• Avoid bending the booms within 1/2” of the
capsule or the earpiece within 1/2” of the
connector.
• Use the side of your nger or other rounded object.

Connecting Snap-On Cables
The Earset cable is easy to remove and change,
allowing you to swap transmitter types, switch colors,
or replace damaged parts in the field. Exercise care in
connecting and disconnecting the cable connector.
• Always grasp the connectors near the outer ends
of the rubber sleeves and pull the connectors
straight apart. When connecting listen for a click.
• The connectors do not unscrew and normally
rotate freely.
• Avoid grasping the connectors where the sleeves
overlap, as this can weaken the moisture-resistant
seal and deteriorate the integrity of the connection.
• Do not pull by the cable, boom, or springy part of
the Earset.
