The light beige Countryman E6X Directional Earset Mic, Low Gain with Detachable 2mm Cable and TA4F Connector for Lightspeed Wireless Transmitters is a versatile blend of the E6 and the E6i earset that features a springy, thin earpiece and a flexible boom and is suitable for use when a few people will be using the same mic.

The E6X earset can be used on either ear for capturing audio and rejecting unwanted sound, feedback, or surrounding noise from stage monitors or nearby speakers in houses of worship, theater, and outdoor vocal and speech applications.

The low-profile, directional E6X earset virtually disappears against the skin, so performers will forget they're wearing a mic. This version offers the lowest gain for the most powerful vocals that require the highest overload. Additionally, the earset comes with two pattern-changeable protective caps for maximum isolation and gain before feedback. This directional E6X earset's cable terminates to a TA4F connector for direct connection to Lightspeed BP-700 and BP-800 wireless bodypack transmitters.

The Countryman earsets are very small, lightweight, and the least visible headworn microphones.

The E6 Flex or E6X offers a versatile blend of the E6 and the E6i. With a springy, thin earpiece and a flexible boom, the E6 Flex is secure on the ear and fast to fit without compromising true invisibility and sound.

The E6X's stainless steel boom is tough and can be bent and re-bent to fit different performers. It is highly resistant to makeup, sweat, and moisture when used with the supplied protective caps. The earset should always have a protective cap in place to keep sweat, makeup, and other foreign material out of the microphone.

The E6X earset's flexible boom is easily shaped right on the performer's face. Changeable protective caps let you shape the frequency response for different situations or to match other microphones. The directional earset protective caps adjust the pattern from cardioid to hypercardioid.

Easy adjustment keeps the mic in a comfortable position for rejecting unwanted sounds. The directional E6X earset provides more isolation and is suitable for situations where there are loud monitors, extreme feedback, or environmental noise.

The included removable, quick-swap cable detaches from the actual earset, 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 most wireless transmitters.

Q: 1. Will Sekonic L-858D-U trigger /adjust flash Canon 600 EX-RT (with or without ST-E3-RT Speedlite Transmitter)?

A: It will only trigger Pocket Wizards or Elinchro/Phottix systems but you must buy the transmitter for either system separately. So in your case, you would need the Pocket Wizard module and a pair of Pocket Wizard Transmitter/Receivers to set up with your Canon speedlight. The meter would be able to allow you to adjust the output of the light if you use a Pocket Wizard Flex TT fo Canon attached to the light. You could always just manually trigger your flash and read the output with the meter in cordless flash mode. Then you wouldnt need a module or Pocket Wizards. But there are much less expensive Sekonics that could do the same thing. Hope this helps.
