The white B6 Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone, Standard Sensitivity, with Detachable 3.5mm Connector for Amplivox Wireless Transmitters from Countryman is a very small lav microphone measuring one tenth of an inch in diameter. It can be used to capture audio for theater, broadcast, house of worship, and general lavalier applications.
This version offers the highest gain for general speaking such as in presentations or sermons. Built with a low handling noise and rugged construction, the B6 lavalier microphone can be easily hidden in a performer's hair or on costumes, ties, or behind a shirt button. It can also be attached to eyeglasses, for a secure, discreet, and convenient alternative to hair miking. The ultrathin diaphragm deliver a natural sound while its tiny size makes the B6 easy to position for ambient noise and feedback rejection. The B6's aramid-reinforced cable terminates to a 3.5mm connector for direct connection to Amplivox S-1600T and S-1690T wireless bodypack transmitters.
Additionally, the included swappable protective caps let you shape the frequency response for different situations or to match other microphones. The B6 is resistant to makeup, sweat, and moisture when used with a protective cap, which can be quickly removed for cleaning or replacement.

Looks great when you want to see it, virtually disappears when you don't. The B6 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 B6 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 B6 provides high-quality audio with low distortion at SPL up to 140 dB on 48V phantom power. 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 B6 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.
Related Questions and Answers
Q: 1. If wired 3.5mm will this unit work with 3rd party lav mics, specifically the: • DPA Slim 4160 • Sanken COS 11
A: This system will work with any 3.5mm microphone that does not have a locking pin. In order to use it with DPA slim 4160 you need a microdot that's both 3.5mm but also has no locking pin that is designated to a specific company.
Q: 2. How come B&H is literally the only place that is reporting 32-bit float recording. Are you 100% sure about this? It's not even mentioned on the Rode website, yet you would think it would be a flagship feature...
A: The Wireless Go II does not record 32-bit float files directly to the transmitters. With the free Rode Central app, the Wireless Go II has the ability to capture up to seven hours of uncompressed 24-bit / 48 kHz WAV audio or 24 hours of compressed audio directly to each transmitter without the need for an SD card. The Central app provides access to the recording features and also enables exporting and optimization of the recorded files from each transmitter so you can save them to a computer. The recorded files can be saved in various formats such as MP3 or WAV and in 16-, 24-, or 32-bit float.

The receiver has two separate channels that allow it to be used with two transmitters at the same time, The transmitters also have onboard recorders that can capture up to seven hours of uncompressed 24-bit / 48 kHz WAV audio or 24 hours of compressed audio directly to each transmitter without the need for an SD card. The free Rode Central app (currently for Mac and Windows -- iOS and Android compatibility coming soon) allows you to access the recording features and adjust settings, then export and optimize the recorded files from each transmitter and save them to a computer in various formats such as MP3 or WAV in 16-, 24-, or 32-bit float. The Wireless GO II also uses new patent-pending technology with 128-bit encryption that provides clear audio transmission up to 656 feet (line of sight). It's an impressive system.

Q: 10. Looking to use this both on a set and in the field. I would prefer a way to hide the mics when on set, what is the range of quality audio pickup (say if it was placed on the table out of sight) or would it still pick up that quality audio under a jacket or shirt?
A: Any microphone will give you it's best sound when placed closest to the subject you are trying to record avoid having it far from the subject you recording, the best recommendation I can give while using this system is to add a 3.5mm lavalier microphone, lavalier microphones are meant to be used on the subject you recording giving you the best sound and are small making it easy to hide so it's not being seen in the video. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1558252-REG/rode_lavgow_lavalier_go_professional_grade_wearable.html
