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 Twist Lock 4-pin connector for specific* Sony 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.

Q: 3. Can this work with Roland R26's side input?

A: The Roland R26 3.5mm mic input jack does support mics that require plug in power such as the Rode VideoMicro. These items are compatible.

Q: 4. How do you mount this to a smartphone or iPad?

A: Many smartphone and tablet holders have female threads or cold shoe mounts to attach accessories like microphones and lights. The shock mount for the Rode VideoMicro has a 3/8"-16 female thread on the bottom of the cold shoe. The female threads on smartphone and tablet holders are often 1/4"-20 so all you need is a thread adapter to attach it to the smartphone or tablet holder for that type of setup. For example, the Ulanzi U-Pad Pro Tablet Tripod Mount (B&H # ULUPADPRO), the SHAPE Aluminum Tablet Tripod Mount with Cold Shoe (B&H # SHTATM), and Oben ASPTA-20 Smartphone Tripod Adapter (B&H # OBASPTA20) all have a cold shoe mount on top. The Oben ATSPTA-20 also has 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 female threads. The Xuma Smartphone Mount (B&H # XUMTA300B) has 1/4"-20 threads. You can use a thread adapter like the Kupo 3/8"-16 Male to 1/4"-20 Male Thread Adapter (B&H # KUKG007512) to attach the mic to any 1/4"-20 female thread.
