The light beige Countryman E6i Omnidirectional Earset Mic, Standard 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 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 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.

Q: 7. Is this compatible with the Panasonic HC-WXF1 UHD 4K camcorder & what Boom is the Best (inexpensive) set up for this mic?

A: Yes, the SMX-30 is fully compatible with the Panasonic HC-WXF1 camcorder. I don't have a recommendation for the "best" boom setup, but I'll add that any boom will work with the SMX-30 so long as it has a 1/4"-20 size male thread. If the boom you want does not have that size thread you can buy the appropriate thread adapter. Lastly, you will need to use a 3.5 mm TRS extension cable if you plan on mounting the SMX-30 at any distance from the camera.

Q: 8. What is the size of the thread on the bottom? 3/8 or 1/4

A: The Azden SMX-30 Stereo/Mono Switchable mic has 1/4" 20 threads on the bottom of the shock mount.

Q: 10. Can i use this with the receiver of Comica Audio BoomX-D D1?

A: No, the Comica Audio Locking 3.5mm TRS Male to Lightning Adapter Cable for Wireless Receiver to iPhone has a 3.5mm locking connector and the output from the receiver from the Comica Audio BoomX-D D1 Ultracompact Digital Wireless Microphone System for Mirrorless/DSLR Cameras has a non-locking 3.5mm TRS connection so the locking connector may not latch properly to the receiver. As a better option, you can use the Saramonic SR-C2000 3.5mm TRS Male to Lightning Adapter Cable for Audio to iPhone (B&H # SASRC2000) or use the 3.5mm TRS to 3.5mm TRS coiled cable that is included with the BoomX-D D1 system and attach the Movo Photo IMA-2 Female 3.5mm TRS to Lightning Microphone Adapter Cable - 5.5" (B&H # MOIMA2).
