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 black and features a 4-pin Push-lock connector for Lightspeed 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: 9. If i use this mic with a sc7 cable on my iPhone or Samsung s6(i dont wanna buy a videomic me) and there is a hiss sound then how should I stop it when using the videomicro with default camera app on my SMARTPHONE? Please help

A: Anytime you mount a mic on the cam, you will get hiss since the mic will be too far from the speaker and excess gain will need to be applied to get the sound level up. The video micro is a handy piece of kit, but is not a pro solution in any aspect. It is best used for a scratch track to synch your more professional audio tracks from a different recorder. Not probably what you want to hear. You need to get the mic off the cam and closer to the speaker.

A: Yes, the Sony ECM-B1M Camera-Mount Digital Shotgun Microphone for Sony Cameras is compatible for use with the Multi-Interface Shoe connection found on the Sony ZV-E10 Mirrorless Camera.
