The black Countryman E6i Omnidirectional Earset Mic for Sony Wirelessis 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 Sony ZTX-B01 and ZTX-B02RC 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.

A: The HVL-F60RM2 differs from the original in that it now offers faster performance at 200 consecutive flashes when shooting at 10 FPS with select Sony Alpha cameras.

Q: 4. Differences between prior Sony flash model F45 and this one F46? Thank you.

A: There are a few differences between the Sony HVL-F46RM Wireless Radio Flash and the Sony HVL-F45RM Wireless Radio Flash. The HVL-F46RM is able to fire 60 Consecutive Flashes at 10 fps, the older one cannot. The guide number as indicated in the name of the flash has changed slightly from 45 m to 46 m. The new flash no longer has the LED video light on the front. The new flash has a metal foot as opposed to a plastic one on the old one. These are just some of the more significant differences.

Q: 5. Besides changing flash settings using your phone, can you also use your phone as a shutter remote? Or do you have to push the shutter button on your camera?

A: This will not be a shutter remote, but you could get a third party shutter release if you wanted.

Q: 7. Can an additional Mic be added?

A: No

Q: 8. I am looking at purchasing this mic to use when making videos with my Canon 5D Mark III. I will need an XLR cable that will be compatible with the 3.5mm mic jack on the camera, but I have had an audio phasing problem before when using a friend's mic (this same model) and an XLR cable. Do I need a certain XLR cable so I won't have the audio phasing problem?

A: Not all XLR to 3.5mm are wired correctly for this application. we do offer solutions that will allow you to correctly connect XLR mics toa DSLR or similar device. The Kopul LMT-100 is a great choice. This will convert the XLR to your mini jack input as well as match impedance. For a longer cable solution the Hosa Camcorder cables are also wired correctly.

Q: 9. Can this swivel backwards?

A: Sony HVL-F60RM2 Wireless Radio Flash tilt from -8 to 150° and a total of 180° of rotation on the flash head. Sony flash units tilt in multiple angles, they are not designed to swivel.

Q: 10. Does the Profoto app show the actual strobe power (not just adjustments like their Air remote)? Thanks!

A: The Profoto app will show different options depending on the mode in which the strobe is using when using your setup. If you are using TTL automatic flash output, the Profoto app will show you the flash power offset (in EV) as the strobe is choosing the output power. You will see a control that allows you to adjust the flash output power by up to ±3 EV. If you are shooting manual mode, the Profoto app will show the same output power setting shown on the back of your monolight strobe unit.
