H6 HEADSET

MICROPHONE

The H6 Headset is the lowest profile headset microphone in the world,
combining the transparent sound quality of the E6 Earset with a comfortable,
lightweight, and easily adjustable headframe. Available in omnidirectional and
pattern-adjustable directional versions, the H6 Headset is perfect for public
speaking and vocal performance. The H6 features a sealed connector with
exceptional moisture resistance, a slim and nearly indestructible cable, and
protective caps to adjust the frequency response (omni) or pattern (directional).

Nearly Invisible: With a diameter
of only 0.1” (2.5 mm)—the size of a
No. 2 pencil lead—the mic capsule
virtually disappears when worn.

Sweat-Resistant Connector: The
mic detaches from the cable using
a new connector with a tight seal
against moisture (e.g., sweat).

Supplied with a 5’ H6 Snap-On Cable, carrying case, windscreen, black

and white collar clips, and protective caps (omni accessories shown).

Extra-Rugged Cable: The 1.2 mm
diameter cable uses Aramid strength
members and engineered alloys for
extreme tensile and flex strength.

Easily Adjustable: The headframe
can be adjusted to fit different head
sizes and the mic boom slides to get
the perfect fit.

H6 Headset: Features and Use

Sweat-Proof
Connector

Detaches from
cable with rugged,
tightly-sealed snap
connection.

Robust Design

Stainless steel tubing
and wire provide maximal
durability in a sleek design.

Adjustable Length

The boom slides
independently of the
earloops to place the mic
right at the mouth.

Adjustable Earloops

Both earloops slide in and
out to achieve a comfortable
and secure fit on the head.

Subminiature Capsule

Tiny 0.1” diameter capsule
delivers outstanding audio
quality.

The directional version
(inset) provides warmth and
extreme isolation.

The omni version
(main picture) has a
beautifully natural response
with minimal wind or
handling noise.

8 dB

Changeable Caps: For omnidirectional microphones, caps
change the high frequency (15 kHz) response. Choose +0 dB
for the flattest response, +4 dB for bright highs, and +8 dB for
extra brightness. For directional microphones, caps change the
pickup pattern between cardioid and hypercardioid.

Detachable Cables: With other microphones, a worn cable
means you need to purchase a new microphone. An H6
Snap-On Cable attaches in seconds. Quick-connect super­rugged cables are available in four colors for almost any
wireless transmitter, digital recorder or phantom powered
XLR mic input.

Three Sensitivity Options: The H6 Headset has three
sensitivity options. Choose W5 (no band) for general speaking,
W6 (blue band) for loud speaking and vocals, and W7
(purple band) for powerful vocals such as opera. Directional
microphones are marked with an additional green band.

Colors: Tan works very well for Caucasian skin tones as well
as olive complexions. Light beige works well for light and pink
tones. Cocoa is ideal for light brown to chocolate tones. Choose
black for deep brown skin, or on other skin tones when you
want the mic to be visible. When in doubt, choose the darker
option. A mic that’s too light can resemble a scar or blemish,
while a darker mic reads as a shadow and draws less attention.
