Available in both omni and directional versions, the new Countryman H6 Headset features the same microphone capsule as the Countryman E6 Omni Earset Mic. The new H6 features a capsule at 0.1-inch (2.5 mm) in diameter—roughly the size of a No. 2 pencil lead. The capsule is offered in three sensitivities (7 mV/Pa, 2 mV/Pa, and 0.7 mV/Pa) with 20 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response.
The microphone employs a lightweight and adjustable headframe. It comes available in four colors—light beige, tan, cocoa, and black—to match a range of skin tones.
The H6 Headset Microphone features a slim, 1.2 mm cable with a break strength exceeding 44 lbs. (20 kg). This interchangeable cable can also be the interface to a myriad of wireless microphone systems. Switching among different wireless transmitter packs is like swapping a cable. The new H6 and its various cables interface to nearly all wireless transmitters, digital recorders, or XLR mic inputs with phantom power.
Pricing & Availability:
The new Countryman H6 Headset Microphone carries a MSRP of $670 (Omni version) and $720 (Directional version). It is expected to become available in late May.
