The tan E6i (TA4F) 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 TA4F connector for compatibility with Sabine 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.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Does this mic record in stereo?

A: No.

Q: 2. I have a RX0 M2, I would like to get this mic to plug-in with it. This camera doesn't have the hit show. Do this mic need to be powered or only with the Jack cable the mic will have enough to get the electricity needed for the mic?

A: Yes, the Sony ECM-G1 Ultracompact Camera-Mount Vlogger Shotgun Microphone is compatible for use with and able to be powered by the microphone input connection on the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX0 II Digital Camera.

Q: 3. I get that the digital is compatible with only a couple of cameras but works in analog for other cameras with multi-interface shoe. But what exactly do I lose on analog? Is the sound quality different and do the directional patterns change?

A: This unit has 3 pickup pattern options to choose from, Cardioid, Omni, and Supercardioid. The big difference between digital versus analog operation is that in digital mode, the audio source being picked up doesn't have to go through additional analog converters to be printed to the video. This allows for cleaner audio recordings. If digital audio is not available on your camera, the analog connection will still produce quality audio recordings.

Q: 4. Can it be used on a sony nex-5r?
