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 beige and features a Switchcraft TA3-Female connector for AKG transmitters.

Switchcraft TA3-Female for AKG    1mm Diameter Cable    Optimized for Strong Vocals    Omnidirectional    Beige

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. For more information on which color earset suits you best, refer to the Countryman support page.

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's sensitivity response is optimized to accurately capture strong vocals without noise and distortion. The high headroom is well suited for singers and performers in stage and broadcast applications.

Q: 2. What the difference between 1/4 and 3/8 fixed screw between RRS heads & Induro monopods?

A: 1/4"-20 threads are meant for mounting cameras and small accessories, where as 3/8"-16 threads are meant for tripods, heads, and larger devices. In this case, your Induro monopods come with a reversible mounting screw. Simply use the correct side (1/4"-20 is for cameras and the wider 3/8"-16 is for heads) and your RRS head (along with 99% of tripod heads) will mount without issue.

Q: 6. I am loking to buy gitzo fluid gimbal head for canon 600mm with 1dx mark2 is it sutiable please do suggest thank you

A: Good, regular gimbal heads are designed to move easily and freely in every direction you want to move your lens/camera combination. Fluid heads smooth out, but slow down, freedom of movement. If you are interested in shooting stills of running or flying creatures I suggest you look elsewhere. If your purpose is smoothness of motion, even if that motion prevents you from catching up with some targets, a fluid gimbal may be the way to choose.
