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 TA4F connector for use with Toa 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.

Q: 1. 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: 8. How long is the back order on this bracket? I placed my order several weeks ago and havent received any updates

A: Ross - sorry, I really can't speak to the question about back-order status. That info would have to come from Really Right Stuff. I do recall that I originally ordered my bracket direct from RRS, but it was out-of-stock at that time. I then found it in-stock at B&H and ordered it and received it pretty promptly. Cheers, & good luck.

Q: 9. Can I use the RRS bracket with a Bogen video head slide mount?

Q: 10. Hi, I am Plannign to buy this, my question is will this work with my Spiderlight Hand strap? will i be able to use arca type head with the spider light strap attached?

A: No, the Spiderlight hand strap doesn't work with this, as the battery door is moved to the outside of the plate. The strap would need to pass through where the plate meets the battery compartment in order to create a seal. Too bad, as I was hoping to use this strap as it's the only one that helps support the small camera with the perfectly positioned thumbrest. One thing is that this RRS plate's pinky rest really fits the camera just right, unlike all the other plates I've tried.
