Countryman H6 Hypercardioid Directional Protective Cap | Light Beige

The Countryman H6 Directional Protective Cap is a required component for any H6 Headset in active use. Designed for live performance, broadcast, theater, and house of worship applications where proximity to the body means constant exposure to sweat, cosmetics, and particulate matter, the cap physically shields the capsule from contamination that would otherwise degrade sensitivity and frequency response over time. Countryman specifies that the H6 Headset should always be worn with a protective cap in place, making this a non-negotiable part of a complete microphone deployment.

Beyond protection, the directional cap actively shapes the pickup pattern, maintaining the hypercardioid response the H6 is known for. For engineers managing stage bleed, monitor rejection, or lavelier-style placement in theatrical productions, that pattern consistency is as important as the physical barrier. Available in Black, Cocoa, Light Beige, and Tan, these caps are stocked to match skin tones and wardrobe requirements across diverse cast and crew configurations, reducing visibility on camera and under stage lighting. Having color-matched spares on hand is standard practice for touring productions and installed performing arts venues alike.
