The cocoa B3 Omni Lavalier Mic, Mid Gain, with cH-Style 4-Pin Connector for ATW-3201 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 cH-style 4-pin connector for direct connection to ATW-3201 Audio Technica 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.

Low, head miking for theater.

Q: 8. can the receiver be used with Panasonic px 300 video recorder ?

A: The receiver can be connected to the microphone input on any recorder, camera, smartphone or other similar device to record audio. I am not able to find specifications for a Panasonic model PX 300 video recorder, but if it has a standard mic input, then the wireless mic system can be connected.

Q: 9. I plan on using the Azden SMX-30V on top of my Panasonic s1H so what's the easiest way to also plug in the receiver? Could I attach it to my Atomos Ninja V? Could it just be hooked up to a really cheap storage drive instead of the camera?

A: You have several options for setting things up and recording with all of the mics simultaneously. If you want to record the audio from the SMX-30V and the wireless mics together in the camera, you can use a mini mixer like the Kopul CMX-1-V2 Two-Channel Mini Mixer with Shoe Bracket (B&H # KOCMX1V2). The mixer allows you to connect the mic and wireless receiver to separate inputs and will send one signal with the combined audio of the mics into the camera. A V-bracket like the Vello V-Rig 4.1" Triple Shoe Bracket (B&H # VECB415) can be used to mount the mixer, SMX-30V and wireless receiver on top of the camera. The same setup can connect to the Atomos Ninja V. The mics cannot be connected directly to a storage drive but you can use a digital audio recorder with two or more mic inputs such as the Zoom 4n Pro (B&H # ZOH4NPROBLK) or Tascam DR-40X (B&H # TADR40X) to capture audio on the recorder and if you would like, you can also send a line out from the recorder's headphone jack into the camera's mic input using a level matching cable such as the Sescom LN2MIC-ZOOMH4N - Line to Microphone Attenuation Cable for HDSLR Cameras (B&H # SEL2MZH4N) or Kopul ACH4-25MON Line-to-Mic Attenuator Cable (B&H # KOACH425MON).

Q: 10. Just received this Benro B3 Ballhead. I want to use this with the Wimberly Sidekick. The 360 panning is extremely stiff. Is there any adjustment available for this??

A: When I rotate my B3 on the panning axis, I can feel some dampening. For use as a ball head, I do not find it excessive. With that said, I cannot whip the head around like lightning. It wants to turn at a constant, and controlled speed. In other words, no jerky stop, starts, or pans. Imagine a panning video camera.. Perhaps, there is too much dampening for your purposes. I am not aware of any friction adjustment for the panning axis.
