The light beige 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 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 connector for direct connection to Comtek 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: 3. Will this work with Hollyland Lark?

A: No, the SmallRig Telescoping Interview Handgrip for Rode Wireless GO is designed specifically for use with the Wireless GO transmitter which is slightly larger than the Hollyland Lark transmitter. The Rode Wireless GO transmitter is 1.7 x 1.8 x 0.7" ( 44 x 46.4 x 18.5 mm) and the Hollyland Lark transmitter is 1.5 x 1.5 x 0.7" (37 x 37 x 17 mm).

Q: 4. will this work with the Hollyland 150 receiver ?

A: The RODE Lavalier II Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone would not be recommended for use with the Hollyland LARK 150 2-Person Compact Digital Wireless Microphone System (B&H # HOLARK150). A microphone with a non-locking 3.5mm connector, such as B&H #ROLAVGO, would be recommended instead.

Q: 5. Is there a foam cover available that will fit this?

A: Yes. Rode offers: ROINTERVIEWG

Q: 6. Additionally, is it possible to run audio out of the FX6 to the Comtek without using the headphone output? Ideally the shooter would use that to monitor audio levels on the spot, while the producer listens in from afar. Could I run audio out from SDI to the Comtek?

A: The Comtek PR 216 is a receiver. You need to go into a compatible Comtek transmitter to be able to do that, like the M-216 and that does not take SDI input.

Q: 7. How is it best to clean ear buds when there are multiple users? My church won't provide the ear pieces so I bring my own.

A: You can clean your earbuds with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap, like a drop of dish soap. A toothbrush can be used to gently remove any wax that may be built up. There are also cleaning products available like HygenX by HamiltonBuhl (B&H # HAX19HRSB), which is specifically for cleaning headphone and earbuds.

Q: 8. Will this work with TV? Will it work with the plugged-in microphone at church? (It works fine with the microphone in the Chapel.)

A: The Comtek PR-75a AutoSmart-Tuning receiver is designed to integrate with non-compand transmitters tuned to 72-76 MHz. Both a TV and an audio system in a church would need to have a transmitter like the M-175 or BST-75 in order for the PR-75a receiver to work.

Q: 9. Will this work on a dji mic kit?

A: The SmallRig Telescoping Interview Handgrip for Rode Wireless GO is designed to use with the Rode Wireless GO transmitter. It is also compatible with Lavalier microphones with cold shoe, such as SmallRig W60, RODE Wireless Go, DJI Mic, Hollyland Lark 150, Synco G1/A2. The DJI Mic kit does not have a cold shoe and will not be compatible.
