The Countryman E6i Cardioid Microphone is a miniature ear-set 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 Push-lock connector for use with Lightspeed 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's sensitivity response is optimized to accurately capture general speech without noise and distortion.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Is this bracket compatible with a Foolography Unleashed N2 on a Z6/Z7?

A: While the Foolography was not tested, it should fit since the bracket has room for the Nikon WR10 which is similar in size.

Q: 2. Can someone explain why these RRS L-plates don't have safety pins?

A: According to a note on Really Right Stuff's website under the Really Right Stuff L-Plate Set for Nikon Z7 and Z6, they state the Safety Stop feature is designed to prevent a camera from sliding out from a clamp when the ball head is oriented into the drop notch during portrait orientation shooting. Because an L-plate allows the user to mount a camera in portrait orientation without needing to use the ball head drop notch, this feature is not necessary.

Q: 3. When mounted in vertical mode, is there a deduction in rigidity ?

A: No; the design of L-brackets such as the Really Right Stuff L-Plate Set for Nikon Z 7, Z 6, Z 5, Z 6II, and Z 7II are designed to offer stability and for the tripod head to properly lock onto the L-bracket securely with no reduction in performance, regardless if the camera is positioned in the horizontal or vertical orientation.

Q: 4. Will this work to trigger an SB-5000 speedlight?

A: You need the Hahnel Viper receiver for Nikon to use the transmitter with a SB-5000. The receiver is no longer available. This is a link to a few other options, https://bhpho.to/3dcUEfF

Q: 5. I'm confused between the wr-r11b vs. wr-r10b. For a D7500, can either work? If I get the wr-a10 adaptor, will I be able to connect the wr-r11b to my D5 and D500 (like I can the wr-r10)?

A: Unfortunately the Nikon WR-R11b does not work with the Nikon WR-A10. Both the WR-R11b and the WR-R10 work with the Nikon D7500.

Q: 6. Is the vertical part removable?

A: Yes the vertical portion can be removed.

Q: 7. can this be used with Nikon wr-r11b remote?

A: The WR-11B remote can be used when the vertical portion of the bracket is pulled out.

Q: 8. In portrait mode can you attach cables or is it blocked?

A: With just the L-plate, you could slide out the L-component from the body of the camera to gain access to cables. If additional clearance is needed, RRS recommends using the Cable Relief Spacer https://bhpho.to/2Wr4XHi

Q: 9. Will Magpul QD/QDM mounts fit in the holes?
