The light beige Countryman E6i Omnidirectional Earset Mic with 3.5mm Locking Connectoris 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 Happie Amp or Empower Sound and Amazing Amp 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. I am looking for Senheiser AVX system with MKE2 mic and a compatible hanheld mic MMD 835 cardiode + compatible MD42 omnidirectional capsule with all accssories like camera mount etc.How much would be the cost of this bundle? Is it possible to use both lavelier and handheld mic at the same time with one AVX unit?

A: Thank you for your question. The AVX system with the MKE2 is the B&H # SEAVXMKE2STS. For the handheld you will need the B&H SESKMAVX4 transmitter and the B&H # SEMMD421 capsule. You cannot use both transmitter with a single receiver you will need a 2 receiver to use both mics simultaneously.

Q: 2. This MKE2 is giving me distortion even though my levels are far from clipping. I got this mic with the Sennheiser AVX bundle and recently shot a training video. My levels peaked around -24 to -12db, however, during playback I can hear high frequencies distort. It gets much noticeable once I process the audio and raise the level. I normally record straight into camera and also into an external recorder with this lav mic, however this issue keeps recurring. Why does this mic keep distorting my sound? Any help or tips would definitely be appreciated!

A: There are a number of things to consider when trying to source the cause of distortion. The question is where is the distortion occurring? Is the mic element overloading due to high SPL, or is the transmitter clipping because of improper gain staging? If the receiver is outputting line level and the input on the camera or recorder is set to mic, that may be the cause. Also, the gain settings on the preamp of the recording device needs to be set accordingly as it is a major part of the audio chain as well.

Q: 3. What is the difference between the Sennheiser MKE 2 Gold and the Sennheiser MKE Essential?

A: The MKE Essential is an economically priced lavalier mic based on the MKE2 Gold model. The Essential uses the newly designed KE4 mic capsule, which can handle high sound pressure levels, and provides a warm and clear vocal tone for small productions or stage presentations. The MKE 2 Gold is Sennheiser's premium model, known and and used in the high-end broadcast production and professional theater worlds. The Essential MKE will give you that rugged design, miniature form factor and premium sound quality of the MKE2 at a lower price.

Q: 4. Would the MKE 2 be a good match with the DJI Mic? I'm not sure if the locking jack will be a problem.

A: No, the MKE 2 is not compatible for use with the transmitter for the DJI Mic Wireless Mic System. High-end lavalier mics are not a good match. We have tested a variety of lavalier mics and the ones that we have found to work best are the Saramonic DK3G Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone with 3.5mm TRS Connector (B&H # SADK3G), the RODE Lavalier II Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone (B&H # ROLAVALIERII), the Shure MOTIV MVL Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone for Smartphones (B&H # SHMVL35MM), and the Saramonic SR-M1 Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone Cable with 3.5mm TRS Connector (B&H # SASRM1).

Q: 7. Will I have quality drop by plugging the 3.5mm variant of this mic into a Zoom H6 using a 3.5mm to XLR adapter?
