The Countryman E6i Cardioid Microphone is a miniature earset 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 sensitivity response is optimized to accurately capture speaking and vocals without noise and distortion.

Q: 7. Does the Gitzo Gimbal Fluid Head have a flash bracket that attaches to the head? Will the Wimberly bracket fit on the Gitzo head?

A: Wimberly makes two kinds of bracket. One mounts directly to the head. This probably would not work. Wimberly also makes a bracket designed to fasten on top of Wimberley plates or replacement feet. Assuming you were using the appropriate sized Arca Swiss style plate or foot (Wimberley, Kirk, RRS, or others on your telephoto lens, that style of bracket will work. (It is also a superior design to competitors' flash brackets, in that it can be used with a variety of lens tube diameters, and it can be used with the lens/camera combination even when not mounted on any head!)
