The latest Countryman products being distributed by Shure are sold in configurations offering multiple coverage patterns, skin tone colors, and feature two types of connectors.
Designed for wireless applications in which concealment is a priority, the WCE6 and WCE6i Earset microphones are the smallest and lightest in their class. Nearly impossible to detect against a wide variety of skin tones, the microphones are outfitted with a rugged, bendable boom that ensures a custom fit for every user, says the company.
The Countryman WCB6 Micro-Lavalier microphone is smaller than the cable of other lavalier mics at 1" thick. Sold in colours that blend in an undetectable fashion with clothing and different skin tones, this subminiature device "performs very reliably while offering excellent rejection of surrounding noise".
The last of the new Countryman products shipping from Shure is the Type 85 Direct Box. Which promises to "deliver the purest signal possible to the mixing console with no added coloration, distortion, or loss of dynamic range".
