Countryman E6 Earset Complements ShakehSinger/songwriter Shakeh's unique music has been heard by audiences up and down the West Coast. Working primarily as a solo artist, Shakeh has been playing colleges, festivals, clubs, coffeehouses, and book stores to the delight of all who encounter her music. In addition to her treasured Taylor guitar, she considers her E6 Omni Earset Mic from Menlo Park, California-based Countryman Associates absolutely indispensable. "I've been using my Countryman E6 since 2003," Shakeh reports, "and at this point, I can't imagine going onstage without it. Combined with my Sennheiser wireless system, I now have far greater freedom to interact with my audience than I ever had before. Regardless of whether I'm flying solo or performing as part of a larger ensemble, the ability to step off the stage and interface with members of the audience is simply not possible with any other microphone system, and that's a huge consideration. You have so much more opportunity to engage your audience, which I also believe gives me an advantage in the highly competitive entertainment environment." "I love the consistency of sound that I achieve with this mic," Shakeh continued. "The sound quality is terrific and it gives me an added layer of confidence that my sound is as I expect it to be. When I work with sound engineers, they're always very pleased about the fact that my mic delivers such good audio quality. It makes their job easier too." According to Shakeh, a big part of the consistent sound she achieves with her E6 stems from the microphone's fit. "When I first started using the E6, I was a bit concerned about my ability to fit the mic securely, as my ears are rather small. The earpiece is remarkably flexible and I'm able to fit the microphone with no issues at all. Once that mic is set, it remains in place and is never the least bit distracting." "In all the years I've been working with the E6, I've only required service once and, even that, was through no fault of the product. Not only was I extremely impressed with the company's rapid turnaround, I was equally impressed with the fact that they understood how important this issue was to me. The folks at Countryman were terrific." Shakeh summarized her experience with Countryman Associates and her E6 microphone. "I couldn't be happier with my E6. I frequently tell other musicians who inquire about my setup, 'Once you go wireless, you'll never go back.' This mic gives me the freedom to perform without being tied down by a mic cable, and unlike a conventional vocal mic, it doesn't block my appearance. My E6 always comes through beautifully for me. I absolutely love this microphone."
