The light beige Countryman E6i Omnidirectional Earset Mic, Standard Gain with Detachable 1mm Cable and cH-style 4-pin Connector for Audio Technica 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 cH-style 4-pin connector for direct connection to Audio Technica ATW-3201 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. Does this mic accept phantom +48 power?

A: This is a condenser microphone, so it does require +48 volt phantom power.

Q: 2. How do you 'thread' the microphone through the bands if it's too thin (e.g.. Rode NTG4+)?

A: I would try wrapping it in cloth, preferably cotton, where the bands contact the mike.

Q: 3. Would it fit Rode NT4?

A: You may have to thread the mic through the bands by weaving it at both pairs of bands, instead of sticking it straight through. I love this shock mount and have used it for years, on all kinds of mics.

Q: 4. Technical problem, cannot get headset to broadcast/no sound?

A: Please e-mail or call us for assistance: askbh@bandh.com 800.606.6969 / 212.444.6615

Q: 6. does this have a mute switch?

Q: 7. Does it support phantom power?

Q: 8. I have recently received a Audio tech AT2020 and plugged it in via USB to my windows 8 computer. I have noticed on a YouTube video it should have a light turn on. There is no light and it is not picking up any audio how ever my computer has recognized its plugged in and believes it to be both a mic and a speaker. any help please?

A: This mic does not feature a USB connection. If you are using a USB audio interface, be sure to check if it is providing phantom power to this microphone.

Q: 9. If you send a third mic in through one of the stereo inputs, will the USB interface output three separate tracks of audio to your DAW? Or will the third mic get bussed in with one of the other two mic tracks?

A: This is a two channel stereo mixer and will mix the third mic into the two stereo tracks.

Q: 10. If you're only using one diameter mic, would you do better with a solid, fixed holder, or will this work just as well?

A: The Auray MC-33CP Clothespin-Style Mic Clips Kit will work just as well as a fixed clip in most scenarios, and will often make it easier to affix as well as remove the microphone to and from the clip.
