The Countryman E6i Omnidirectional Microphone is a miniature earset microphone for virtually invisible operation in stage performances, trade shows, houses-of-worship, auctions, lectures and much more.

The omnidirectional version is most common in applications where feedback issues are not very likely. The microphone can be worn without a windscreen as the omnidirectional capsule provides excellent wind noise rejection.

The E6i is set apart from the original E6 with its softer flexible boom and silicon ear-pads. The flexible boom provides ease of boom adjustability to accommodate multi-user applications.

A wide variety of colors and connections are available for use with various wireless transmitters. This version is tan and features a 1/8" (3.5mm) Locking Mini connector for Nady transmitters.

A miniature omnidirectional capsule is mounted to a low-profile, flexible frame with silicon ear pads. This lightweight, unobtrusive design is available in various colors that virtually render the entire microphone invisible against the skin.

The included 1mm Diameter Cable detaches from the actual headset, making it completely replaceable in the event of a short or break. The replaceable cable design makes upgrading wireless microphone systems easy, as they are available in a wide selection of connections to accommodate various wireless transmitters.

The omnidirectional polar pattern is most effective in minimizing wind noise, plosives (popping) and handling noise. The flexible boom provides a custom fit for multiple users and close microphone positioning while minimizing off-axis noise. The E6i is also available in a cardioid version for maximum off-axis noise rejection in environments with high feedback and noise.

This E6i sensitivity response is optimized to accurately capture general speech without noise and distortion.

Q: 2. I've heard that the neutrik connectors may have issues with some XLR cables. I know someone who almost got the connector broken because the XLR wouldnt come off so I'm afraid of using microphones with non-neutrik connectos such as the sennheizer ew series that come with a 1/4 TRS to a male XLR. Should I be worried?

A: The Zoom F3 2-Input / 2-Track Portable Field Recorder features standard, locking female XLR inputs that should be compatible with a wide range of male XLR connectors, including those from brands other than Neutrik. The issue described may have been an isolated issue with the locking mechanism of that particular unit, but in general, the Zoom F3 should have no issue connecting and disconnecting to and from its XLR inputs.

Q: 9. Anyone know how to connect the Rode NTG to Apple iPad Air 2019? I use my iPad's lightning cable to NTG's usb-c connector but there is no recognition, not even to charge. Do I really need to purchase the Rode specific cable for an additional 79.99??? HELP!

A: In order to get audio into your Apple iPad Air from the Rode NTG microphone you would connect the TRRS cable from the mic to an Apple Lightning to 3.5mm Headphone Jack Adapter, BH #APLAADAP and then into the lightning port of the iPad. You will not be able to charge the microphone with an iPad.
