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 cocoa and features a 4-pin Hirose connector for specific* Audio-Technica transmitters.

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.

The included 2mm Diameter Duramax 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 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 general speech without noise and distortion.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. How can I mount this mic to a standard boom pole?

A: The included shock mount has a 3/8" female thread on the bottom which is the standard thread size for boompoles. You can simply screw the shock mount onto the male thread of your boompole to attach it and you'll be good to go.

Q: 2. Will this work with Nikon D3500? Thanks!

A: Nikon USA has not offered a D3500 camera

Q: 3. Will this work on a Rebel EOS T6?

A: No, the Canon Rebel EOS T6 does not have an input for an external microphone and only records audio using its built-in internal mic. You can use a separate recorder with an external microphone such as the Rode VideoMicro to record an audio track and then combine the separate audio with the video in post production.

Q: 4. Can I use an XLR adapter with this microphone? I have a XLR cable and I am wondering if I can use this mic with it.

A: The VideoMicro relies on the low voltage 'plug-in-power' and this is only supplied via minijack connections, so an XLR connection won't be suitable.

Q: 5. Would this be good for wildlife?

A: If you will be within a few feet of the subject, the Rode VideoMicro could work, but you would probably have better results if you use a longer microphone which will allow you to pickup sound from further away. The VideoMic NTG (B&H # ROVMNTG), NTG2 (B&H # RONTG2), or NTG4+ (B&H # RONTG4P) can all operate using batteries and can be connected to a camera or recorder that has a 3.5mm TRS mic input.

Q: 6. Can the boompole pro stand on its own to hold the mic? Or do you have to have someone holding it?

A: The boompole by it self needs someone to hold it, however if you would like with the clamp and holder in the link bellow it can be placed onto to a light stand https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/469810-REG/General_Brand_Boompole_Holder_and_Grip.html

Q: 7. Will this work with a iPhone 7?

A: I don't have an iPhone but, it should work with the iPhone if you get the proper 3.5mm adapter.

Q: 8. Will this work with gopro hero 5 black ? thank you

A: Haven't tried it on a GoPro- I assume it will work if the GoPro has a microphone jack.

Q: 9. Is this Microphone compatible with the Nikon D5200, also will this mic be powerful enough or have enough reach for a documentary/vlog on a trip i'm taking? (I don't know a whole lot about frequency range)

A: I have a Nikon D5200 and I purchased this mic for that purpose. I have been using a battery powered Sony mic but I thought having a non-battery mic would be advantageous. I did some testing and the sound is quite good along with the build quality. Just make sure you are relatively close and make the proper adjustments in the video menu of the camera. Before you start on your documentary try some test clips/captures at different distances and see what works best - there will always be a compromise. I tried it on a Canon video camera (Vixia HFM52) but the camera doesn't appear to provide power through the 3.5mm jack. Good luck and have fun.

Q: 10. Will this mic work well when shooting video of marching bands at outdoor sporting events.

A: Just found a great video where the guy is reviewing the GoPro Hero 5 Black using this mic (via an adapter) -- you can hear the stark difference with between the on-camera mic vs. the Rode VideoMicro in various situations: https://youtu.be/hgqDGsCDkyc .
