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 tan and features a Screw-on Mini 4-pin connector for Mipro 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: 2. Compared to the Sony XLR-K3M Kit what is the difference in quality? I have an A7III, what should I observe before deciding to buy the ECM-B1M or XLR-K3M?

A: They are very different microphones. The KM3 allows you flexibility to use other XLR mics. The B1M is more compact. If you pair it with a A7RM4 its a fully digital path. If you are looking for flexibility then get the KM3. If you want a small mic with some noise isolation then get the B1M.

Q: 9. How about trying to answer directly? Which cameras specifically, have a multi-interface shoe?

A: There are almost too many Sony cameras to list with a Multi-Interface Shoe. The entire A7 series along with cameras like the A6300, A6400 and A6500 have a Multi-Interface Shoe. Camcorders like the Z90v and even Cinema Cameras like the FS7 also have a Multi-Interface Shoe. However those models will all be for analog audio with this microphone only. The only option at this time which has a Multi-Interface Shoe that can process a digital signal is the Sony A7R IV.
