The black B3 Omni Lavalier Mic, Standard Sens, with LEMO 4-Pin Connector for TS-170, TS-170p, VHF TS-190, and TSP Wireless Transmitters from Countryman is a water-resistant, miniature lavalier microphone for capturing high-quality audio. It can be used in a variety of applications such as a tie-clip lavalier in interviews, a hair-hidden mic for drama, a water-resistant mic for water sports and hurricane reporting, or simply a small mic to hide in a prop flower vase.

The B3 capsule is resistant to moisture (IP67), which allows for placement in the hair or on bare skin, and its omnidirectional polar pattern minimizes handling noise, wind noise, and plosives (popping). Furthermore, a variety of skin-matching colors are available. This B3's cable terminates to a LEMO 4-pin connector for direct connection to TS-170, TS-170p, VHF TS-190, and TSP Beyerdynamic wireless bodypack transmitters Additionally, a carrying case, two cable clips, a windscreen, and three protective caps are also included.

Looks great when you want to see it, virtually disappears when you don't. The B3 is easily hidden in hair or on costumes, with five colors to match clothing, hair, and skin tones. Use a felt tip marker to color the white caps for near-perfect concealability. Never suffer the hassle and degraded sound quality of under-clothing miking again.

The B3 is resistant to makeup, sweat, and moisture when used with the supplied protective caps and works well in hair or on the body. The protective caps are easily removed for cleaning or replacement, and the aramid-reinforced cable gives it world-class survivability.

The B3 provides high-quality audio with low distortion at SPL up to 140 dB for wireless applications. The aramid cable and thin diaphragm combine to offer low handling noise. The flat-frequency response accurately captures voice or instruments, and the small size makes the B3 easy to position for ambient noise and feedback rejection.

Changeable protective caps let you shape the frequency response for different situations or to match other microphones. Versions are available for different speaking or singing styles, with high-overload capability for recording instruments.

Standard, for most uses.

Q: 10. Is it possible to order this lens so that the shift and tilt mechanisms are parallel, rather than perpendicular, to one another? I understand that this modification normally requires sending it to a Canon service center after initial purchase, which seems needlessly complicated (unless one is willing to undergo the risk of doing it yourself).

A: As Canon only manufactures one version of this lens with one manufacturer number, if you need the lens modified, you would have to contact Canon directly for assistance with your inquiry, as the lens is only offered to dealers and retailers in the standard configuration as described in the lens' instruction manual. You would have to contact Canon at 1-800-652-2666 or carecenter@cits.canon.com for assistance with your inquiry.
