The light beige Countryman E6i Directional Earset Mic for Azden 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, directional E6i earset virtually disappears against the skin, so performers will forget they're wearing a mic. This version offers the lowest gain for the most powerful vocals that require the highest overload. Additionally, the earset comes with two pattern-changeable protective caps for maximum isolation and gain before feedback. This directional 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. The directional earset protective caps adjust the pattern from cardioid to hypercardioid.

Easy adjustment keeps the mic in a comfortable position for rejecting unwanted sounds. The directional 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: 6. 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: 10. Will it work with Black Magic Pocket 4K?

A: Yes, the SMX-30 will work with the BMPCC 4K but must be plugged into the 3.5mm mic input jack (not the mini-XLR input). Furthermore, you will have to adjust the audio settings to use the 3.5mm mic input. The auto-on feature will work when set up properly. You will need to find a third party mounting solution since the BMPCC lacks a traditional cold-shoe mount. Using a camera cage with a shoe mount would be one option. The SMX-30 has a 1/4"-20 female thread at the bottom, so using a thread adapter would be a second option.
