The cocoa Countryman E6i Omnidirectional Earset Mic, Medium Gain with Detachable 2mm Cable and 3.5mm locking Connector for Azden Wireless Transmitters 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, omnidirectional 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. In addition, the earset comes with three protective caps with different high-frequency response characteristics that control the amount of crispness or sibilance (response at 15 kHz). This omnidirectional E6i earset's cable terminates to a 3.5mm locking connector for direct connection to Azden 15BT and 35BT wireless bodypack transmitters.

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. This omnidirectional version includes three protective caps—+4 dB (bright), +8 dB (very bright) and +0 dB (flat)—that controls the amount of crispness or sibilance (response at 15 kHz.)

Easy adjustment keeps the mic in a comfortable position for rejecting unwanted sounds. The omnidirectional 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. how do I mount a WR-Pro wireless receiver on a Sony HDR-CX430V video camera?

A: Unfortunately that camera has a hot shoe on it. So you have nothing on the camera to attach a cold shoe to. But you can circumvent this minor problem with a Vello CB-510 Dual Shoe Bracket. This bracket will screw into the bottom of the camera where you would normally attach the camera to a tripod. Instead you will screw the Vello bracket onto the camera. This device will now give you 2 cold shoe mounts that are part of the bracket and a rubber coated handle that you can now use to hold onto your camera. The Azden receiver should have a shoe that came with it that attaches to the back of the receiver. All you have to do is slide the shoe mount on the receiver onto one of the shoes on the Vello bracket. Then plug the output of the receiver 3.5mm plug into the camera. Here is the B&H part number for the Vello bracket. B&H# VECB510

Q: 3. Is the 1/8 in output for monitoring with headphones?

A: Hello. Thank you for your inquiry in regards to the SMX-15 Powered Shotgun Video Microphone. The SMX-15 does not have a headphone monitor output. The only ways to monitor audio with the SMX-15 are either if you have the microphone plugged into an audio adapter, or your camera provides a headphone monitor output jack. The 1/8 (3.5mm) output is for plugging into your cameras MIC input.

Q: 4. can I monitor what the mic is picking up through headphones?

A: Yes, headphones can be used to monitor the audio that the mic is picking up. Since the mic does not have its own built-in headphone jack, you will need to connect headphones to the headphone jack on your camera or recorder (or any other device you connect the mic to) in order to monitor the audio.

Q: 5. We purchased this microphone and now need batteries. Must we use the Azden rechargeable batteries or will any NIMH rechargeable battery work?

A: Only the Azden batteries (1HR-3U) will charge while inside the IRH-15C. Using another brand of rechargeable batteries will work but will have to be charged outside of the unit. Alternatively, any brand of one-time-use alkaline batteries may be used.

Q: 6. Hello, quick question: will this mic connect to an iPhone (for ex.: iPhone 7) and actually record sound directly to the camera app (Filmic Pro, etc.)? I need to ask because I purchased a Rhode VideoMic Pro 2 years ago for this use and was very disappointed to learn that it WOULDN'T record directly to my phone.

A: The SMX-15 microphone will work with an iPhone but you will have to use 2 adapter cables. One cable is the Apple Lightning to headphone adapter that you will need for the iPhone 7. The other cable is a TRRS adapter. For that we recommend using our HX-Mi TRRS Mic & Headphone Cable for Smartphones & Tablets.
