"We frequently have a lot of child actors. With many children, the boom on the E6 may be a bit long. The E2, by contrast, has a shorter boom and, as a result, works really well on their smaller faces. The audio performance is first rate on both models, so by having the added flexibility of using the E2 with its shorter boom, we can readily accommodate every performer. I find our actors love the Countryman E6 and E2 microphones. They're very comfortable wearing them, they like the way the mics fit on their faces, and they remain in place very well, so they're never distracting."

"I find the E2 to be a great choice for miking child actors. With many children, the boom on the E6 may be a bit too long. However, the E2, by contrast, has a shorter boom and works really well. Once I tried the E2, the long boom issue was resolved. It sounds just as great as the E6 and I get amazing sound quality from the kids. There's plenty of gain and very little EQ is required."
