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

The cardioid version effectively minimizes off-axis feedback and noise from nearby monitor speakers, instruments and noisy sources. Flexible microphone positioning is maintained and the included windscreen minimizes the wind noise often associated with cardioid microphones.

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 cocoa and features a 1/8" Locking-mini connector for use with Sennheiser wireless transmitters.

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

The included removable, quick-swap 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 Duramax 2mm diameter cable provides extra strength, flexibility and durability.

The cardioid polar pattern is effective in minimizing off-axis residual noise from e nearby monitor speakers, instruments and loud sources. The result is increased signal-to-noise ratio and minimal feedback. The flexible boom provides a custom fit for multiple users and close microphone positioning. The E6i is also available in an omnidirectional version for maximum control over wind noise and plosives (popping).

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

Q: 1. is there a way to stop the red blinnking warning light when not using for flash, i.e. remote trigger?

A: There is no way to deactivate the red LED light on the Nikon WR-R11a/WR-T10 Remote Controller Set, but you could cover it with a small piecr of black gaffer's tape, if it is annoying.

Q: 2. I plan on using this with my D850 and Tamron 15-30 and 24-70. Will it fit well with those combinations and work correctly?

A: Nikon WR-R11a/WR-T10 Remote Controller Set will work with Nikon D850, the Tamron SP 15-30mm f/2.8 Di VC USD G2 Lens for Nikon F, and Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 24-70mm f/2.8E ED VR Lens.

Q: 3. Is this compatible with the Nikon D3S?

A: Yes it is!

Q: 4. Is there a cheaper work around 3rd party wireless remote trigger that does NOT occupy the hot shoe? Going from a sub-$20 remote (ML-L3) to a sub-$300 set is a hard pill to swallow....for essentially the same functionality.

A: As an alternative to this product, see others such as the Vello Shutterboss III or the Vello Freewave Plus. They use a cable to relay communication, and the hot shoe is simply the most convenient place to place the receiver. They do not need the hot shoe to function. You could leave it hanging via the cable if you really needed to, but that would be a little risky. Shutterboss III (Nikon): https://bhpho.to/37WbxdA Freewave Plus (Nikon): https://bhpho.to/2NGxzdw

Q: 7. I'm confused between the wr-r11b vs. wr-r10b. For a D7500, can either work? If I get the wr-a10 adaptor, will I be able to connect the wr-r11b to my D5 and D500 (like I can the wr-r10)?
