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 Switchcraft TA5F 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 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: 10. The Top Knob is called a "Swing Arm LOCK". And yet the one that I just received (Model GH-M1) does not lock at all. If I turn it, the swing arm moves, but I cannot lock the swing arm in place. Is this unit faulty ..i.e should the knob actually lock (and unlock) the swing arm in a given position ?? Any help appreciated. Thnx

A: When using the Magnus GH-M1 Gimbal Head, the Swing Arm Lock is supposed to actually lock the swing. If yours does not lock properly, and you received the Gimbal Head within 30 days, B&H is happy to take it back, with free shipping and replace it. If it is longer than 30 days, the GH-M1 Gimbal Head has a one year warranty, so one would send a note to the manufacturer: info@gradusgroup.com , and they will repair or replace your Swing Arm. Just tell them Lenny Says it's defective.
