The tan 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 4-pin Hirose connector for direct connection to Sony DWT-B01, DWT-G01, DWT-S01, and DWT-V01 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. Looking for a case to hold two UWP-D21 systems (2x transmitters and 2x receivers). Will this work or can you recommend another?

A: The SKB iSeries Waterproof Case for Sony UWP-D Two-Channel Wireless Bodypack Mic System (Holds: URX-P03D & Two UTX-B03) may work, but a better option would be the Nanuk 905 Hard Utility Case with Foam Insert - Black (B&H # NA9051001), which has a multilayer cubed foam insert that you can customize to fit your two Sony UWP-D21 Wireless Microphone Systems. The case itself is the same as the Nanuk 905 Waterproof Hard Case for Sennheiser EW, Sony UWP, Senal - Black (B&H # NA905CIUWPBK).

Q: 4. Can you be more specific about differences between F45 and F46? Such as ability to rotate flash head?

A: The HVL-46RM does not have a tremendous amount of differences from its predecessor. The ability to rotate the flash head remains the same (180-degrees right and left, 150-degrees up), but the main differences are recycle time (from 2.5 to 1.7 seconds), better heat management (in both the 46RM and 60RM) as well as a increase in guide number from 45 to 46m at ISO100 105mm.

Q: 6. 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.
