Countryman H6 Omnidirectional Protective Cap | Flat | Black

The Countryman H6 Omnidirectional Protective Cap is a purpose-built replacement and spare accessory for the H6 headset microphone, designed for performing artists, broadcast talent, theater productions, and houses of worship where a headset mic is worn for extended periods. The cap seals the omni capsule against sweat, makeup, and other contaminants that accumulate during performance, protecting the mic element and preserving consistent output over time. Countryman recommends the H6 always be worn with a protective cap installed, making spares and matched replacements a practical necessity for any production carrying H6 headsets in rotation.

What sets this accessory apart from generic caps is its integrated role in shaping the microphone's high-frequency character. Each cap carries a distinct frequency response at 15 kHz, giving audio engineers and production managers a physical tool to control crispness and sibilance without touching the console. The family is available in flat, bright, and very bright high-frequency boost options, and in four skin-tone colors, so productions can match both the sonic requirement of the source and the visual requirement of the talent. For touring sound engineers managing multiple performers or for theater A1s building out a headset package, having the right cap on hand is as important as having the mic itself.
