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 tan and features a Switchcraft TA4F connector for use with Sabine 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.

Q: 1. Do you have a similar anamorphic lens aet for E/EF Mount?

A: Please review the link for similar Anamorphic lens models. However, Sirui does not offer a similar set in Canon EF mount. EF lens options - https://bhpho.to/3C20WwS

Q: 2. Can these be used on a canon 60mm EFS 2.8 lenson a canon mark 2 or mark 3If so is there any problems with vignetting??

A: Technically you could mount the extension tube between the APS-C format (EF-S) lens you have and your full-frame camera, however we do no regularly encourage this combination as it will likely cause vignetting.

Q: 3. Can we sync a logic session run through a UA Apollo?

A: You can use the Tentacle Sync E mkII Timecode Generator with Bluetooth 5.0 (Dual Set) (B&H# TETE2MK2) to add a timecode signal to a single audio track. That can be fed into many devices that produce or modify audio, whether that is your computer using a DAW, a camera, or a field recorder. If you are using the Universal Audio Apollo Solo Heritage Edition Desktop 2x4 Thunderbolt 3 Audio Interface with SOLO Core Real-Time UAD Processing (B&H# UNAPLSHE) then you will first need to have a means of inputting an audio track into your DAW so that all of the tracks may be read (including the one with the timecode) simultaneously.

Q: 4. Will this work with a flash?

A: A standard hot shoe flash will be somewhat ineffective when using extension tubes. I advise you to use a ring light instead, which are designed for use with macro photography, such as the Stellar Lighting Systems STL-80R: http://bhpho.to/1jMiGMe

Q: 5. I intend to use this device for video interviews with the following kit: 1) Nikon Z6II camera feeding video via HDMI into Atomos Ninja V; 2) Tentacle Sync-E with Lavalier mic on subject; 3) Zoom F3 with shotgun mic near subject (not connected to camera or Ninja V). How many of these TC generators would I need? I'm thinking one to sync-jam the Tentacle-E recorder, which would then be connected to the Ninja V while shooting, and one connected to the Zoom F3 (not sure if that recorder will actually accept TC?). Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

A: Two sounds correct. One Tentacle Sync E mkII Timecode Generator with Bluetooth 5.0 (Single Set) synced with the Zoom F3 which is capturing audio, and one for the NInja V which is capturing video. You can use the Tentacle Sync E mkII with the Ninja V by routing it into the mic/line input. Make sure that the Ninja is set to intake audio from the mic/line port, and then use post production software to sync.

Q: 6. Can the bluetooth be used for syncing to bluetooth devices like the Zoom F2-BT?

A: Yes. But in order to do do the F2 Editor app is needed for time coding. Please review the following https://bit.ly/3LkEUr3

Q: 7. Question: I have a Zoom H6, will the Tentacle Mk2 work with it?.

A: The Tentacle Sync E mkII Timecode Generator with Bluetooth 5.0 (Dual Set) are meant to jam cameras and will offer nothing being connected to the ZOOM H6.

Q: 8. Will this sync a Sony FX3 Camera?

A: Yes, this will work with the Sony FX3. You will need to connect it with the 3.5 mm microphone input.

Q: 9. Does this affect the audio I get through the MI shoe on a Sony A7SIII using the ECM-W2BT?

A: The Tentacle Sync E mkII Timecode Generator with Bluetooth 5.0 would use one channel of audio to record timecode info. Audio timecode is recorded on the left channel, while the scratch audio of the Sync E is recorded on the right channel. A solution like the Tentacle Sync E would be used for an external audio recorder, and you would not be recording audio in camera. The A7SIII has four audio channels to work with, so you should still be able to use your Hot Shoe mic. SONY A7SIII Audio channels: https://bit.ly/4984FH7

Q: 10. Will this model also have the same limitation of U.S. models being restricted from monitoring during recording?

A: Yes, the Tentacle Sync Sync E Mk2 Sync E Timecode Generator with Bluetooth (Dual Set) has the restriction on monitoring while recording.
