The black Countryman E6i Omnidirectional Earset Mic for Comtek Transmittersis 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 2.5mm locking connector for direct connection to Comtek M-216 and M-72 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: 1. Does this come with the XLR to 3.5mm cable as shown in the picture?

Q: 2. Is there a better lapel clip that will work with this mic as the supplied clip is next to useless as it does not offer any way to secure the mic cable and therefore I constantly get cable rubbing noise from presenters moving on stage.Even the cheaper (and very good ) Sony UWP-D11 kit comes with a decent lapel clip that allows you to better secure the mic cable?

A: YES

Q: 3. Are the cables on this lav improved from the original filmmaker kit. I have had to replace 3 lavs under warranty in the past 5 years as a result of cable shorts? They are very thin and not "durable", despite being described as such.

A: The RodeLink Lav Omnidirectional Microphone does have durable Kevlar-reinforced cable, but unfortunately all lavalier mic's for wireless systems are subject to shorts, due to the being pulled or the connector end rubbing against a person's hip at the transmitter end. You may consider a replacement mic, such as the Countryman B3 Omni Lavalier Mic, Standard Sens, with 3.5mm Locking Connector for Sennheiser Wireless Transmitters (Black), BH #COB3W4BSR, which has a more rugged design, and features a water-resistant mic.

Q: 4. I have had my M-215 for many years and the microphone jack seems to be failing - can this be bought separately? If so what should I ask for at a store that sells them

A: You would have to call Comtek. They are the only ones that might have that part.

Q: 5. Is there a limit to how many receivers you can add on to this?

A: The M 216 is able to transmit to an unlimited amount of receivers as long as they are operating on the same frequency.

Q: 6. Does this work with tenticals?

A: Yes, the RODELink Lav Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone is compatible for use with the Tentacle Sync TRACK E Pocket Audio Recorder.

Q: 7. Can I run an audio cable from a headphone jack on an audio source (say a camera, or a wireless microphone receiver) into the 3.5mm jack on this Comtek transmitter and have that transmit to the receiver for someone to monitor the audio that is coming out of the source's headphone jack?

A: Yes, you can take audio from a variety of sources, such as the headphone output of a camera and connect it into the transmitter's 3.5mm line input. This will allow that audio to be heard wirelessly by the person with the receiver.

Q: 8. How does this mic differ from the one that is included in the RodeLink Filmmaker kit? Is it better?

A: According to Rode, the only difference between the lavalier mic that is included in the RodeLink Filmmaker Kit and the separate RodeLink Lavalier mic is the locking collar. On the RodeLink Lavalier, the locking collar is removable so the mic can be used with devices that have either a locking or non-locking 3.5mm audio input. The locking collar on the mic included in the kit is not removable so the mic can only be used with devices that use a locking input. The mic capsule is identical on both mics.

Q: 9. Is this mic compatible with a UTX-B1 transmitter? And what about the connector?

A: Hi A shopper, Yes the mic and transmitter are compatible and the connector will work. Regards, -Erin

Q: 10. What is the transmitting distance for this unit? Are there any receivers that use an external power supply rather than a 9v. battery?

A: Up to 300 feet.
