“The Countryman EMW has so many features that make it the perfect lavalier for our field productions. The sturdy design and construction; the incredible water resistance, which is so important when you have to shoot rain or shine and, of course, the incredible audio quality. "

"I’m particularly impressed with how clean sounding and quiet they are. There’s never any muffled sound from the cables and they are both extremely small—making them a great choice when the mic needs to remain out of sight. Equally important, since the mics are moisture resistant, they’re an ideal choice for use under the lights, as they don’t get affected by perspiration, which can be a problem for other microphones. As far as deciding which mic to use on the talent: I’ll frequently try both to determine the best choice in any given situation.”

“I love my Countryman mics. They’re beautiful. My B6 mics produce exceptional sound quality, they’re easy to work with, and they’re incredibly reliable. They are my ‘go to’ mics for any close miking situation. When I work on a project and use my B6’s, I know they’re going to work and that I can trust them to deliver exactly what I’m looking to capture.”
