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 851 connector for use with Lectrosonics 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.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Can I use this adapter using the canon 24-105mm lens and the Canon to Sony E mount metabones speed booster attached to the FS7? Don't care much about auto focus. I just want to still control aperture from the camera, have no vignetting.

A: I used the tubes with my canon D70 and my 2 lenses, the canon 18-135mm 3.5-5.6 and the canon 50mm 1.4 and I had no communication problems between the lens and the camera being able to change the amplitude of the diaphragm and use the focus automatically with normality.

Q: 2. Will these tubes work on a Sony A77?

A: Yes, these tubes are compatible with the A77. The tubes and your camera are Alpha mounts.

Q: 3. Why does my 18-135mm Canon EFS lens not autofocus with these extension tubes?

A: The Vello Auto Extension Tube Set for Canon EF/EF-S Mounts and Lenses will have an extremely narrow area that can be focused--you might be slightly too close or slightly too far away; even a few millimeters difference can cause the focus to be lost. Always try to use a tripod for macro photography.

Q: 4. Is this compatible with The Nikon 200-500 f5.6?

A: Yes it is compatible with that lens.

Q: 5. Will these extensions work with a Lensbaby Velvet 85? Thank you.

A: Yes, Vello Auto Extension Tube Set for Canon EF/EF-S Mounts and Lenses will work with a Lenbaby 85 that has Canon EF mount.

Q: 6. I have a Nikon D3200 and a Sigma DC 18-250 lens, 1:3.5-6.3. Are these extension tubes compatible with this set up and if they are, are there any issues at all that I should be concerned with?

A: These extension tubes will be fully compatible with the D3200 and Sigma 18-250 lens. The extension tubes will allow you to focus closer than the set minimum focus distance of the lens. There will be some light loss when using extension tubes. Adding about 40% of the lens focal length will result in the loss of 1 f/stop. Additionally, focus to infinity will be lost.

Q: 7. will this work with the eos xsi efs 18-55 and the 75-250 lense ?

A: Kenko DGs should work fine with all EF and EF-S lens and camera combinations, same combinations as without the tubes. Note that magnification increase will be less with longer focal lengths.The math; extension tube length divided by lens focal length = magnification increase.This increase gets added to the lens' native magnification.Barely worth mounting up to your 75-250 especially when zoomed out, should be exceptional with your 18-55.Depth of field gets very very thin at close focus/high magnification, expect to stop down on a tripod and focus stack. Subjects in motion like bugs, flowers swaying in the breeze are tough subjects, done every day though, obviously not impossible.

Q: 8. 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: 9. Will this work for my Nikkor 70-300mm VR lens and Nikon D7100 body?

A: Yes, the Kenko Auto Extension Tube Set DG for Nikon Lens will be compatible with the Nikkor 70-300mm VR lens and Nikon D7100 body.

Q: 10. Does it communicate VR function?

A: Yes the VR function works with these tubes.
