The cocoa Countryman E6i Omnidirectional Earset Mic, Standard Gain with Detachable 1mm 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 the highest gain for general speaking such as presentations or sermons. 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 older 10BT and 41BT 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.

Q: 3. This says it's IOS compatible. What IOS system must be running? Will it work with a iPhone6 plus? Also, if I am shooting video with my mobile device, can I use the mic set up for the audio on the video while shooting the video at the same time I have the audio rig set up to that same device ? I'm trying to shoot video with my device but get better quality audio then my iPhone has to offer.

A: I wasn't able to find where it said iOS compatible on this page, but maybe I'm missing it. If it does say that, it's not exactly correct. But if the question is, Can you connect it to a smartphone to record audio while shooting video, the answer is yes. You will need to get our HX-Mi adapter cable or some equivalent so you can plug into the phone's headphone jack and connect to the microphone input. This will work with just about any android or iOS mobile device (including iPhone 6 Plus) as long as it has a TRRS headphone input (which most phones do). Bear in mind this product is just a wireless receiver. We sell this in complete kits as well. You'll want to check out the WLX-PRO+i and WMS-PRO+i which are full systems that come with the required adapter cable for mobile devices.

Q: 4. I plan to use it with Sony HDR CX900 handycam which has a hot shoe. Will I need a shoe extension? What is the range of the Pro-XD? Is there a better mic to purchased separately, seems the only criticism is of the mic.

A: I could never get my system to work at all. It's sitting on the shelf waiting to be returned

Q: 5. Can I run two of these as in an an interview with two people wearing Arden Pro XDs?

A: Hi Paul, my name is Dave and I work for Azden. You cannot run two transmitters into one receiver, however, it is possible to use multiple PRO-XD systems simultaneously in the same area. Using two systems at the same time should be no problem. We have done successful tests with 4 systems simultaneously; running more than that is also possible. The main limiting factor is the surrounding WiFi environment. The more crowded it is, the more difficult it will be to reliably run multiple systems. This is not unique to the PRO-XD but a limitation that applies to all digital wireless systems.Another possibility with the PRO-XD is that you can use multiple receivers with one transmitter. This could be useful in situations where youre running multiple cameras; you could hook a PRO-XD receiver up to each camera and capture identical audio from the single transmitter.

Q: 6. Hello. Is it possible to connect a Rode Stero Video Mic (self powered) microphone to the auxiliary input of the transmitter to transmit stereo signal? Thankyou!

A: If the Rode is capable of outputting a line level signal then it will transmit. I'm not sure whether it would be in stereo however.

Q: 7. How is the built quality?

A: Good

Q: 9. I plan to use this skiing. Will it transmit consistently if I place the receiver and iPhone 6+ in an internal ski jacket pocket? If it looses the link will it sync back automatically?

A: I will loose the link but it will sync back automatically.

Q: 10. what lav mic can i add to this.. to plug into the receiver? can i use the azden ex-503L?

A: Hi Jack, my name is Dave and I work for Azden. The PRO-XD kit does come with a lavalier microphone, in case you werent clear on that. The model of that mic is the EX-503XD. This model mic is somewhat unique as it has a TRRS (tip=ring-ring-sleeve) mini-jack connector. You can use a different microphone with the PRO-XD but it will need to have this TRRS connector. Conveniently, the PRO-XD kit includes a TS to TRRS mini-jack adapter cable, which can be used to convert any ordinary lavalier mic (with a TS connection) into one that works with the PRO-XD.Keep in mind, when using other microphones, that they will likely have different sensitivities and output levels. The output of the EX-503XD is designed to work well with the PRO-XD.
