Countryman EMW Overview

The Countryman EMW Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone is designed to reproduce vocals, musical instruments, and ambient audio sources with pristine detail and minimal handling noise. The capsule is highly resistant to moisture, making it a suitable solution for outdoor use, placement against skin, etc.

Clear audio reproduction with low rubbing and handling noise is a result of the EMW's omnidirectional polar pattern. The shelved frequency response features a smooth +6 dB boost between 2 and 15 kHz. This is the standard response for lavaliers worn on the outside of clothing (lapels, jackets, etc).

A wide variety of colors and connectors are available for use with various wireless transmitters. This version is black and features a 6-pin Hirose connector for use with Samson wireless transmitters.

Shelved Frequency Response
The EMW is available in three frequency response types and this version features a shelved frequency response that compensates for reflections lost when mounted on the outside of clothing and fabric. The shelved response is standard for lavalier microphones worn on lapels, jackets, etc.
Unobtrusive Miniature Design
The square EMW lavalier is available in a variety of colors that virtually render the entire microphone invisible against the skin, allowing you to select the version that is best suited for your application.
Kevlar Cable
The attached cable is made of durable, break-resistant Kevlar for rigorous use without shorts or wear.
Omnidirectional Polar Pattern
The EMW is credited for providing pristine audio with minimal handling and rubbing noise, due to its omnidirectional polar pattern.
Moisture Resistant
This square, moisture-resistant capsule is ideal for use in humid conditions, on skin, outdoors, etc.

I am new to audio recording. I heard this ...

I am new to audio recording. I heard this requires phantom power. is phantom power the same for most audio recorders? Specifically, I have a Zoom H6. would all I need to do to make the Countryman lapel work is turn on Phantom Power? Or does it require another purchase to give it power?
Asked by: Tony
You are correct that it needs Phantom power. The H6 - and most other recorders that spot an XLR mic input - will provide Phantom power and no additional hardware will be required to power this mic.
