Less is more. Less distance from you to the microphone means less feedback, less ambient room sound, less gain on the console for less electronic noise and more full, natural sound. Countryman microphones achieve maximum isolation by getting close to the source. Halving the distance from the microphone to the source increases the incident sound energy by four times, giving you more gain-before feedback and more headroom for the house system and monitors.

Stainless steel and aluminum bodies. Custom formulated scratch and sweatproof coatings. Aramid fiber cables skinned in chemical-resistant polymers. Countryman microphones and DI boxes are built tough from the inside out for unmatched durability. Your gear shouldn't call it a day before you do.

"Transparent" means an acoustic response that doesn't alter your sound, and a low visual profile that keeps all the attention where it belongs. We evaluate dozens of color samples to precisely match our cables, paints, and engineering polymers to carefully selected theater makeup shades.
