The black E6i (Screw-On Mini 4-Pin) from Countryman is a miniature, omnidirectional, earset condenser microphone designed for accurate voice reproduction (speaking and singing) and near-invisible appearance in theater, concerts, lectures, houses or worship, and more. It features a water- and wind-resistant capsule that delivers a 20 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response. The omnidirectional polar pattern picks up sound from all directions and should be used when feedback is not common.

The 5’ detachable cable has a diameter of 1mm, and features a screw-on 4-pin mini connector for compatibility with Sabine transmitters. The E6i offers a flexible boom for versatile placement. The three protective caps yield different high-end frequency presence. The supplied windscreen protects the condenser element, and reduces plosives and wind noise. Cable clips and a carrying case are included.

A miniature omnidirectional capsule is mounted to a low-profile, flexible frame with silicon ear section. 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 sensitivity response is optimized to accurately capture both speech and vocal performances without noise and distortion.

Q: 1. Does this work with aputure 300d led lights?

A: Aputure recommends using batteries that have 15A continuous output for powering a light, such as the Aputure C300D II. As the Smallrig VB99 Mini V-Mount Battery (99Wh) supports 14A, we would not recommend it.

Q: 2. What do I use to connect the power from the Canon R5C to the battery?

A: You need to convert or adapt through a dummy battery or USB-C PD cable.

Q: 3. Can this be charged using USB-C?

A: Yes it can. The SmallRig VB50 Mini V-Mount Battery supports USB Type-C Fast PD Charging up to 45w (MAX).

Q: 4. Can i use the 8V DC output to power my FX30 with a dummy battery that has a 7.4V DC input?

A: It is recommended to only connect dummy batteries that take an 8V input to the 8V DC output of the SmallRig VB99 Mini V-Mount Battery (99Wh, Black) so as to prevent overvoltage from damaging your dummy battery or camera.

Q: 5. What is the DC Barrel Size?

A: The SmallRig VB50 Mini V-Mount Battery (50Wh) (B&H# SM3579) has two DC barrel ports on it. The 8V OUT port is 5.5mm in diameter with a 2.1mm diameter center pin. The 12V OUT port is also 5.5mm in diameter but has a 2.5mm diameter center pin.

Q: 6. Is it safe to plug the dummy battery for an A7 IV straight into the 8V output on the Smallrig battery?

A: No, I would not recommend using the 8V output on the SmallRig VB99 Mini V-Mount Battery (99Wh) to power your A7 IV as it uses 7.2VDC, and would likely be damaged by the added voltage. Instead use the SmallRig VB99 Mini V-Mount Battery's (99Wh) USB-C port which has PD(power Delivery) which is a smart interface that automatically adjusts the power output to match that of the connected device.

Q: 7. Other than the power display how is this different than the VB99 Pro?

A: The SmallRig VB99 Pro Mini V-Mount Battery has a fireproof aluminum exterior and can support up to 100W input or output via the USB-C port, while the SmallRig VB99 Mini V-Mount Battery (99Wh) does not have the aluminum exterior and only supports a max of 65W through the USB-C port.

Q: 8. Can both USB outputs be used simultaneously? Like can I power my camera via USB-A and MixPre-3 via USB-C at the same time?

A: Yes, both USB outputs of the SmallRig VB99 Mini V-Mount Battery (99Wh) can be used simultaneously.

Q: 9. Wonder will it work with Blackmagic Design PYXIS 6K ?
