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 Screw-on TA4-Female connector for Sabine 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 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 general speech without noise and distortion.

Q: 4. I have read in the reviews that the microphone hisses sometimes..? is there a way around this that anyone has found?

A: I haven't had any sound quality issues; not a pro set up, I'm using a Canon T3i, but I'm getting clear sound outdoors and indoors. Most recently in a large, open space with hardwood floors, put it on a boom above the subject and sounded great. I had hissing issues with a lavaliere microphone before but it was caused by using an AC adapter on the camera instead of internal battery - I haven't tested that yet with this microphone. Anyway, I'd definitely recommend this item.

Q: 5. will this work with Olympus E-M1 Mark III?

A: Yes, the Rode VideoMicro is compatible for use with the Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark III.
