Countryman E6I Overview

The Countryman E6i Cardioid Microphone is a miniature earset microphone for virtually invisible operation in stage performances, trade shows, houses-of-worship, auctions, lectures and much more.

The cardioid version effectively minimizes off-axis feedback and noise from nearby monitor speakers, instruments and noisy sources. Flexible microphone positioning is maintained and the included windscreen minimizes the wind noise often associated with cardioid microphones.

The E6i is set apart from the original E6 with its softer flexible boom and silicon ear-pads. The flexible boom provides ease of boom adjustability to accommodate multi-user applications.

A wide variety of colors and connections are available for use with various wireless transmitters. This version is beige and features a Switchcraft TA4F connector for use with Shure wireless transmitters.

Miniature Unobtrusive Design
A miniature cardioid capsule is mounted to a low-profile, flexible frame. This lightweight, unobtrusive design is available in various colors that virtually render the entire microphone invisible against the skin.
Removable Cable
The included removable, quick-swap cable detaches from the actual headset, 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 various wireless transmitters. The Duramax 2mm diameter cable provides extra strength, flexibility and durability.
Cardioid Polar Pattern
The cardioid polar pattern is effective in minimizing off-axis residual noise from e nearby monitor speakers, instruments and loud sources. The result is increased signal-to-noise ratio and minimal feedback. The flexible boom provides a custom fit for multiple users and close microphone positioning. The E6i is also available in an omnidirectional version for maximum control over wind noise and plosives (popping).
Sensitivity Optimized for Speaking and Vocals
This E6i sensitivity response is optimized to accurately capture speaking and vocals without noise and distortion.

It's unclear what transmitter units this mic can be used with: can it be plugged into both an XLR and a 1/8 jack?
Asked by: Anonymous
The Countryman E6 or E6i comes with numerous connector's. So that you can just pick the connector that is right for the wireless you are using. It comes with a 3.5mm locking connector for Sennheiser EW system. A 4 pin Hirose for Audio-Technica. You will find that what ever system you are using Countryman makes the connector for your system.The Countryman Snap-on Microphone Cable is designed for use with the E6 and E6i ear set microphones. These replaceable cables are available in various connector types to accommodate various wireless microphone transmitters. If the cable breaks all you have to do is replace the cable. So whatever wireless you are using. All you have to do is find the E6 with the matching connector.
