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 Sabine 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 strong vocals without noise and distortion. The high headroom is well suited for singers and performers in stage and broadcast applications.

Q: 6. Can I attach an articulating arm (for a monitor) to the unused pan arm connector or does this go against the design?

A: On the articulating arms that B&H has available for mounting accessories, their end mounting screws are either 1/4'-20 or 3/8 -16. The screw holes Sachtler uses to mount their pan handles are an unlisted, unknown metric size so I am afraid the accessory articulation arms will not mount. Otherwise it is valid idea. So much so that Manfrotto makes some of their tripod heads to take 3/8 arms for just the purpose you are proposing. They call it Easy Link. Here is a comparable Manfrotto head with the Easy Link mounts, plus a Manfrotto arm. Manfrotto 509HD Professional Video Head B&H # MA509HD and Manfrotto 244 Micro Friction Arm B&H # MA244MICRO.
