Union High In Oklahoma Upgrades Performing Arts Experience With Countryman Microphones

Effectiveness of multiple Countryman headsets and earsets apparent after installation of new main sound reinforcement system.

Union High School in Tulsa, OK recently upgraded its performing arts center with a new sound reinforcement system and complementing Countryman microphones.

“We’ve been using Countryman for almost 20 years,” explains Bryan Deyo, performing arts center manager. “I bought ISOMAX headsets back in 2000 when I first started here. Over the years they have proven to be incredibly durable and sound terrific. This year’s spring musical, Matilda, will utilize 20 to 25 mics.”

Devo has multiple Countryman H6 headsets and E6 earsets on hand to take care of the performing arts center’s voice capture needs. Their impact is particularly apparent after the installation of a new Eastern Acoustic Works (EAW) Anna sound reinforcement system.

“When you have Countryman mics at the beginning of the signal chain and EAW at the end, the results are very impressive,” says Deyo. “Everyone noticed how exceptional the entire system sounds.”

The H6 and E6 both have a miniature electret element held close to the mouth by a thin boom, designed to deliver transparent, uncolored audio while rejecting surrounding noise and reducing feedback. Stainless steel construction is intended to provide a long-lasting rugged frame that is comfortable, lightweight and easily adjustable.

“The refs on the football field still use the ISOMAX headset microphones,” Deyo concludes. “They reject unwanted noise better than some handhelds plus tolerate both sweat and the weather. They’re ideal for that application. I have nothing but good things to say about Countryman products. I can’t see us using anything else.”
