The cocoa Countryman E6i Omnidirectional Earset Mic for Audio Technicais 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 cH-style 4-pin connector for direct connection to Audio Technica ATW-T5201 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. I'm confused by the range numbers for Phantom Power. Does the low to high voltage range mean that the mic only takes the power it needs? I have a portable SHURE mixer that allows one to select either 12v or 48v. For the AT 897R, which position should I select on the mixer? Why would this mixer offer an option like this? Is not Phantom Power either ON or OFF?

A: Hi Craig,Short answer: set the Phantom power to 48V. It is what the AT mic uses, and it is the industry standard. 12V (also called 'T-Power') is a standard used with some European equipment like Nagra tape recorders, but for virtually all modern applications, 48V is what is used in broadcast and recording.Claus.

Q: 2. Does this come with an appropriate adapter to mount to a Sony FS700?

A: No it does not include an appropriate shock/shoe mount. Only an AT8405 Microphone Stand Clip is included. Recommended: Rycote InVision Video Hot Shoe Microphone Suspension - Lyre Shockmount B&H # RYIVSMSF: https://bhpho.to/32b9xZK Please note that the FS-7 has an integrated shotgun mic holder that will accept this AT875 mic without any accessories. This Sanken ROCS Rubber O-Rings for CS-1 (10) B&H # SAROCS would provide a more snug fit. https://bhpho.to/347rKJm

Q: 3. what stops the popping when singing?

A: The AE 3300 has a metal mesh grill which is foam lined to give you 2 stage protection from popping and sibilance.

Q: 4. Hi,the link says it is a AT875 where as the kit detail mentions that the mic is AT875 R . Please confirm on the model number ? I am in market for AT875R and the kit seems econmical.

A: This kit includes the Audio-Technica AT875R Short Condenser Shotgun Microphone.

Q: 5. Will this work with sennheiser transmitter

A: No, the Audio-Technica Consumer ATR3350XiS Omnidirectional Condenser Lavalier Microphone for Smartphones is not wired for use with the locking 3.5mm input connection commonly found on Sennheiser transmitters.

Q: 6. Will this power an AT boundary mic and if so, what cables are required please. Application is an older boundary mic to work with a Tascam DR-40? Thanks for your time.

A: I do know that this works with AT condenser mics which require phantom power. I am ALMOST sure that this is true for the AT boundary mic as well. The boundary mic should have the mini AT connector that fits the smaller connector on the power pak, then a standard XLR mic cable goes from the other connector on the power pack to the mixer.

Q: 7. How could I use this with the canon 60D?

A: The AT875 shotgun mic requires phantom power which a DSLR camera is not able to provide. To connect this an similar mics that require phantom power, an additional preamp/adapter will be necessary for connection and power. The Beachtek units are a great choice.

Q: 8. Do I need to buy anything extra for it to attach to my camera's hot shoe?

A: no you shouldn't need to

Q: 9. How can this be a shotgun? There is no visible diffraction grating along the sides of the case here. The manufacturer's spec sheet (at their website) shows a different case, with side walls gates to allow the classic shotgun interference effect.

A: The Audio-Technica AT875R truly is a shotgun microphone. The picture doesn't display the diffraction grating slots your asking about because of the way the item is displayed on the B&H webpage. They should of displayed more pictures at different angles. But there are four(4) diffraction grating slots... two on each side towards the front. You should know that this isn't the hightest quality shotgun microphone on the market, but for the price it's pretty much what you can expect. The sound quality is very professional. It rejects most sound arriving from the sides and completely rejects sound arriving from the rear. It does exactly what Audio-Technica stated. I use this microphone on my CANON XC15 camera with onboard Phantom Power. Hope this helps.

Q: 10. Can this mic pick a sound from a distance like 5 or 6 feet?

A: Yes, it will still pick up audio at that distance, however for better sound quality try to stay within a 3-5 feet range from the subject you recording.
