The black E6i (Waterproof 2.5mm) 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 waterproof 2.5mm connector for compatibility with Lectrosonics 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. How to connect Nikon D750 and syn the video and Zoom H6 audio?

A: To connect the H6's 3.5mm Line out to the camera's 3.5mm Mic in you will use an attenuator cable, like this one from Whirlwind. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/767986-REG/Whirlwind_WHH4NL3_5_WHH4NL3_5_Line_to_Microphone.html Because there is no time code involved, to sync you will need a software based solution, like Plural Eyes. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1226419-REG/red_giant_sho_pluraleyes4_d_pluraleyes_4_download.html

Q: 2. Do the XLR inputs on the H6 lock the mic cord into place or, like on the H4, are they susceptible to falling out?

A: They don’t lock. It’s fine if you are stationary. I wouldn’t try and run around with this setup in a “mobile” environment.

Q: 3. Can you jam timecode into the Zoom H6?

A: No, the H6 does not support time code.

Q: 4. Cmo adapto o ensamblo la grabadora en mi cmara Cannon Mark IV?

A: Necesitar un cable adaptador de 3,5 mm estreo macho a estreo de 3,5 mm para conectar la salida de la grabadora H6 a la entrada de audio de la cmara. El PEARStone CRSM-830 (B&H # PECRSM830) es un cable enrollado con conectores angulares diseados para esta aplicacin.

Q: 5. Is the included XY mic good enough for interviews(without a lav mic)?

A: The Zoom H6 in the stereo XY configuration will work for interviews. It will sound a bit roomy but it will work. I think you will have a better quality recording with 2 lav's one per person and take advantage of the XLR inputs and phantom power.

Q: 6. Does the output jack allow you to record to your camera and the H6 at the same time?

A: Yes, only that you will have a stereo mix. It works great.

Q: 7. Is the 1/8 line out a balanced TRS connection?

A: The Line Out on the H6 features a stereo unbalanced TRS connection (AKA stereo mini jack).

Q: 8. I'm wondering how fast of a read and write speed I need to have on an SD card, or any of the other recommended cards for use on the Zoom H6? What might be the minimum write and/or read speed when recording 6 inputs at a time?

A: Since the recorder is compatible with standard SD cards the requirements are pretty basic. You will not have to be concerned with read/write speeds for audio like you would be for still photography and video. Any quality SDHC or SDXC class 10 memory card will work well. Any of the recommended cards listed under this recorder's ACCESSORY MEDIA tab will be fine: http://bhpho.to/1rqbYmW

Q: 9. Hello,When I record with MSH-6, sometimes 'high pitch' sound comes out and that sound gets recorded as well. It happens randomly, am I using it right or is it a defect?

A: Make sure your gain is turned down a bit. It sounds like you may be getting feedback as well. Check that the volume on the built-in speaker is lowered as well during recording. Monitoring with headphones may eliminate the issue.

Q: 10. Can this be used to in the following: 3 sounds inputs send to a mixer and one xlr connected to the the H6 recording the mix, as well as USB connected to a MAC for live streaming?

A: Unfortunately, the Zoom H6 will not support recording audio unto the SD card and streaming via the USB. You may want to consider the new sound devices mixpre series recorders as they will allow you to write audio to the SD and stream via the USB; B&H# SOMIXPRE6 and B&H# SOMIXPRE3.
