The black Countryman E6i Directional Earset Mic, Medium Gain with Detachable 2mm Cable and 3.5mm locking Connector for Olympus, Roland, Sony, Tascam, Yamaha, or Zoom Portable Recorders is a vocal microphone with a soft, flexible boom that facilitates its adjustment for different users. It's built with a larger silicone rubber earpiece making it better suited for situations when multiple users share the same mic.

The E6i 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 E6i earset virtually disappears against the skin, so performers will forget they're wearing a mic. This version offers medium gain for very loud speaking, such as in theater performances and most vocals. Additionally, the earset comes with two pattern-changeable protective caps for maximum isolation and gain before feedback. This directional E6i earset's cable terminates to a 3.5mm locking connector for direct connection to Olympus, Roland, Sony, Tascam, Yamaha, or Zoom DM-420, DM-520, DM-620, DS-2400, DS-40, DS-51, DS-61, DS-71, LS-10, LS-14, R05, R09HR, PCM-D50, PCM-M10, DR-05, DR-07mkII, DR-08, PR-10, Pocketrak C24, Pocketrak W24, H1, H2, and H2n portable recorders.

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

The E6i is soft and highly flexible with a larger silicone rubber ear piece. When multiple users share a mic, the E6i is a great choice. The soft boom is durable and the flexibility makes it easy to adjust for different users.

The E6i'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 E6i 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 E6i 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.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. will this work well for Panasonic GH5??

A: 4/3rds lenses work well across the range of both Panasonic and Olympus ICL cameras. I use my Oly 45mm on a Panny G7 with remarkable results...it is one of the sharpest lenses I own! That said, I do not shoot video, only stills. If you plan on using it as a video only or video mostly lens, you may want to test it before plunking down the cash.

Q: 2. Where is this lens made from?

A: China is the country of origin for this lens.

Q: 3. Is it compatible with BMPCC 4K?

A: Yes.

Q: 4. What is the decoration ring?

A: It's a small ring on the end of the lens that gives the lens a smoother look. It needs to be removed to attach the included lens hood. It's not really needed, but I like the look of the lens better with it on the lens.

Q: 5. Can you pull focus with this lens? I have Lumix G7.

A: Yes you can pull focus with this lens, but the manual focusing must be engaged in the camera.

Q: 6. Will this lens work with an extension tube? Looking for a decent wide angle macro-ish setup.

A: Yes Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 12mm f/2 Lens (Silver) will work with an extension tube such as this one. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1454644-REG/vello_ext_mftd2_auto_extention_tubes_for.html

A: Both are good quality lenses but the Panasonic is a sharper lens with better color and contrast.

Q: 9. For manual focus in video, is the focus ring loose or stiffer?

A: I only used it for still photos. The focus ring is very smooth with just right friction. Love it. I guess it should perform well for video too.

A: I would guess so -- I use it on my GX7.
