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 specific* Electro-Voice/Telex 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: 3. I've never seen a simple L-Bracket so expensive for a mirrorless camera. This appears to be gouging from the manufacturer. Do you think you could recommend a price restructuring?

A: I was skeptical as well but once you see this product in person and have compared it to others for this camera (Sony A9, A7iii), there's definitely a quality upgrade in terms of fit and solidity. Design and material is highest quality. Built-in magnet, adjustment tool, QD attachment, and captured slide bracket are unique and add functionality. Probably not worth it to someone who doesn't use the camera every day.

Q: 4. what is the field of view on the three lens?

A: A 2x anamorphic lens doubles the horizontal field of view of the taking lens. Therefore on a MFT camera in 4:3 mode, a 35mm anamorphic lens will have the same filed of view as a 17.5mm or 52.61. A 50mm will be the same as a 25mm or 38.17. The 70mm will be the same as a 35mm or 27.76.

Q: 7. Does it feel as comfortable as SONY vertical grip for A9? Based on one of the question, it only adds 1/2 inch height, if so, it won't fit every fingers, pinky will still protrude out of the base! ? Anyone ever compared it side by side?

A: using the 7RIII with the RRS L-Plate. The 1/2 inch increase does make the camera more comfortable in the hand. However, I use the L-Plate mostly on a tripod for architecture & interiors. If you do portraiture and use the camera mostly hand held, then I'm in the opinion the vertical grip would be a better choice.

Q: 10. Does anyone have experience using the Mars 300 where the transmission is not line-of-sight but must deal with walls or doors?

A: There are a lot of variables that come into play when you are not doing line of sight. The only way to truly be certain is to do a test in the space where you want to use it under similar conditions. The material of the walls, the distance, and Radio Frequency environment will all affect how well this system is able to send a video signal from the transmitter to the receiver.
