Countryman H6 Directional Headset Mic w/ TA4F

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).

The H6 Omnidirectional Headset rejects unwanted sound and feedback better than a lavalier almost any way you wear it, so it’s very user-friendly for new and experienced users alike. The omnidirectional H6 is the right choice for most applications. For situations where there are loud monitors, extreme feedback or environmental noise, choose the directional H6 Directional Headset (marked with a green band). The directional H6 Headset has either a cardioid or hypercardioid pick up pattern, depending on which of the two included protective caps is placed on the microphone. Directional microphones require more careful placement and are subject to more handling and wind noise.

Making a microphone more sensitive to catch soft sounds means it will overload sooner for loud sounds. Because sound pressure levels vary between individuals and applications, Countryman Associates provide three sensitivities for the H6:

• The highest gain (W5, no colored band) is for general speaking, such as presentations or sermons, and is the most popular option.
• The medium gain (W6, blue band) is for very loud speaking, such as in theater, and most vocal performances.
• In rare cases, the most powerful vocals require the highest overload (W7, purple band)
