The black H6 Omnidirectional Headset with Detachable Cable and Hirose 4-Pin Connector for Sony Wireless Transmitters from Countryman is a low-profile headset microphone that combines the transparent sounding E6 Earset with a comfortable, lightweight, and adjustable headframe. Weighing less than one-tenth ounce, it can be used as a water- and wind-resistant mic for capturing audio in houses of worship, theater, and outdoor vocal and speech applications.

The low-profile, omnidirectional H6 Headset virtually disappears against the skin, so performers forget they're wearing a mic. Three sensitivity options cover general speaking to extremely powerful vocals, and four color options allow you to match the H6 to your skin tone for minimum visibility. The H6 features a sealed connector with moisture resistance, a slim cable, and protective caps (+0, +4, and +8 dB) to adjust the frequency response. It is also available as a directional microphone with cardioid and hypercardioid caps.

This omnidirectional H6 Headset's cable terminates to a Hirose 4-pin (twist lock) connector for direct connection to a Sony WRT-28, WRT-820A, or WRT-860A wireless bodypack transmitter.

Sweat-Proof Connector
The H6 Headset detaches from the cable with a rugged, tightly-sealed snap connection.
Robust Design
Stainless steel tubing and wire provide maximal durability in a sleek design.
Adjustable Earloops
Both earloops slide in and out to achieve a comfortable and secure fit on the head.
Adjustable Length
The boom slides independently of the earloops to place the mic right at the mouth.
Subminiature Capsule
The tiny 0.1" diameter capsule virtually disappears when worn and delivers natural audio quality. The directional version provides warmth and extreme isolation, while the omni version has a natural response with a minimum of wind or handling noise.
Replaceable Cables
An H6 snap-on 1.2mm diameter replacement cable installs in seconds. It provides a tight seal against moisture, is rugged, and available for almost any wireless transmitter or for XLR inputs with phantom power.
Sensitivity
For strong vocals.

question

Band colors for countryman headset?
Asked by: Anonymous
Countryman designates the sensitivities of the mics in 2 ways, a letter/number combination, and associated band color. They are as follows, W5 = no colored band is for general speaking. W6 = blue band is for very loud speaking, or vocal performance, and W7 = purple band with headroom for the most powerful vocal performance.

question

Hello.I wanted to know if is a TA4F Mini-XLR option for this headset?Thanks
Asked by: NFCC M.
Yes, there are H6 headsets available with a TA4F connector. Please be aware that the connectors are wired for use with specific wireless transmitters, so even if the connector type is the one you need, it may not work with your transmitter. For example, Beyerdynamic, Mipro, Sabine all use TA4F connectors, but the internal wiring of the connectors is different. Please contact us before placing your order and we can help you to select a mic that is compatible for use with your wireless system. You can reach us by phone at 800-606-6969.
