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 6-pin LEMO connector for use with Audio-Limited 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 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 strong vocals without noise and distortion. The high headroom is well suited for singers and performers in stage and broadcast applications.

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: 10. I returned one set of Vello tubes and am having pretty much the same problems with the 2nd set. With all 3 on a 200mm macro Nikon lens, I get FE for aperture. And there is vignetting with the tubes. Put on a 300mm 2.8 lens, it tries to focus but never locks. Does the Kenko set have the same reduced inner diameter that causes vignetting and are they likely to have the same problems?

A: The Kenko Auto Extension Tubes have a reduced inner diameter, however they will not cause vignette when being used.
