The cocoa 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 2mm, 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 2mm 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 Duramax 2mm diameter cable provides extra strength, flexibility and durability.

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: 9. Previous Question: “Can I plug into a multbox or other conference room audio systems for clean audio?” How or which cables settings are needed to plug into audio mixer?

A: The Zoom H5 Portable Handy Recorder can be connected to a mult box (press box) using a standard XLR female to XLR male cable. The output signal on most press conference boxes is mic level or it may be switchable between mic and line level. Use the mic level input setting on the H5 and adjust the settings as you would when recording with any microphone. When recording the output from a mixer, the signal is going to be line level. The cables you will need are dependent on the output connections that are available on the mixer. It may be 1/4" TS or TRS, or RCA, but typically will have left and right outputs on the mixer, so you can connect to both XLR inputs on the H5.
