Page 4: Handling The E6
Handling the E6 While the E6 Directional is designed for durability, moisture-resistance and flexibility, it is a high- precision instrument and we do suggest some basic precautions to prevent damage or sonic degradation: • Always use the E6 with a cap in place. The end... - Page 5 Handling the E6 (cont.) The E6’s earpiece and boom are constructed of an exceptionally flexible material which can be easily shaped to the wearer’s needs. To prevent damage to your EarSet: • Avoid bending it over sharp angles (such as the end of your fingernail) or around a tight radius (less ...

Page 6: Connecting Snap-On Cables
Connecting Snap-On Cables The EarSet cable is easy to remove and change, allowing you to swap transmitter types, switch colors, or replace damaged parts in the field. Exercise care in connecting and disconnecting the cable connector. • Always grasp the connectors near the outer ends of the rubber sleeves and pull the connectors straight apart. -

1/4” away from the face. Since every performer’s face is different, we’ve made it easy to custom fit the E6 Directional EarSet: 1. Try it on Pull the “C” shaped part of the earset open and clip... - Page 8 Custom Fitting the E6 (cont.) 2. Curve the Boom The directional earset is designed for a particular side (usually left). Curve the boom left if you intend to wear the earset on your right side; curve it to the right to wear it on your left side.
- Page 9 Custom Fitting the E6 (cont.) 3. Tighten the loop Gently twist the loop so that it is smaller than your ear, then allow it to return to its regular shape (this is less important with the E6i). The loop should now be smaller than it was before and there should be slight tension when the EarSet is on your ear.
- Page 10 Custom Fitting the E6 (cont.) 4. Spring the loop Holding the boom, gently pull the base of the earset. When you clip the earset behind your ear, the connector will push out against your earlobe and the boom will press smoothly along your face. This is the fastest way to get a really tight fit if the earset feels loose.
- Page 11 Custom Fitting the E6 (cont.) 5. Position the boom The EarSet should now be firmly on your head, but the end of the microphone may be too high or too low, too far back or too far out in front of your mouth. Form the boom with your fingers until you get it comfortable and sounding good.
- Page 12 Custom Fitting the E6 (cont.) • Placing the microphone too far forward can result in breath-related pops. Resist the urge to position the capsule directly in front of the mouth. • Placing the microphone too far back will impact bass response and isolation. •...

Page 13: Using Directional Caps
Using Directional Caps The C (cardioid) and H (hypercardioid) end caps modify your EarSet’s directionality. The EarSet should always have a protective cap in place to keep sweat, makeup and other foreign material out of the microphone. The hypercardioid cap provides the best isolation from all directions, with a null towards the floor where “wedge”... - Page 14 Using Directional Caps (cont.) When removing and replacing the protective caps: • Grasp the microphone low on the boom, close to the capsule. • Hold the protective cap by the sides and pull straight off to remove. • To replace the protective cap, position the cap, hold the sides and press straight on firmly.

Page 15: Using Collar Clips
Using Collar Clips The EarSet comes with two collar clips: one black and one white. These clips prevent movement in the cable from dislodging the EarClip and can reduce cable noise. They are specifically designed to match the diameter of your E6 cable, either 1mm or 2mm. Gently pull the cable down into the opening to attach the clip. -
Page 16: Emergency Back Port Cleaning Procedure
Emergency Back Port Cleaning Procedure This procedure is rarely necessary, but it may help if frequency response and directionality have deteriorated because the tiny grooves on the element are contaminated with dust or makeup. Make sure your hands, the work area, the EarSet’s boom and end cap are clean. Take a 6”... -
