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 beige and features a 4-pin LEMO connector for use with Telex 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: 6. I'm guessing this doesn't fit Flashpoint 600.? Doesn't really indicate if it's compatible or not.

A: The defectors are inserted into the umbrella holder. For non Elinchrom lights you have to experiment to see if they can be made to line up. In most cases they will not.

A: Hi David,They will certainly work, I have them myself and use them. Will work also on other softboxes you might buy from Elinchrom.Benoit

Q: 9. RE: WR-R11b receiver. Is there an indicator light that confirms the unit was activated?

A: Yes, the WR-R11b has two LED indicator lights that signify an established connection as well as triggering. The top LED flashes red during triggering and/or AF activation and the bottom light flashes a longer green pulse when a photograph is fired (as opposed to a continuous short green pulse every few seconds that signifies the unit is connected to the WR-T10).

Q: 10. 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
