The cocoa B3 Omni Lavalier Mic, Mid Gain, with 4-Pin Hirose Connector for DWT-B01, DWT-G01, DWT-S01, and DWT-V01 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 4-pin Hirose connector for direct connection to DWT-B01, DWT-G01, DWT-S01, and DWT-V01 Sony 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: 1. Does this set come with the BA30 battery pack for the transmitter? Or do you have to buy them separately? What about the BA20 battery pack for the receiver?

A: Yes, the transmitter and receiver both come with battery packs. I bought an additional battery for the receiver because it does not last as long as the transmitter battery.

Q: 2. What's the difference between the ME2 and the MKE2 Lavalier?

A: Sennheiser MKE-2 Gold Omnidirectional Lavalier Condenser Microphone (Black) B&H # SEMKE2TA5FG offers wider frequency response, sensitivity and a higher SPL rating for better headroom before distortion.

Q: 3. Does the Friction Knob on the Benro B3 vary the friction only on the ball head? only on the pan function? or both?

A: The friction control knob on the Benro B3 Triple Action Ball Head only controls the ball movement and does not affect the panning.

Q: 4. I am traveling overseas - with this AVX system can I use it in Europe and Israel/ Jordan?

A: I would think so...there should not be any interference or signal distortion.

Q: 5. Will this work with a Benro A48FD monopod that has 3 feet? I will be shooting with a Nikon D7200.

A: Yes, it will work if the monopod has a screw on top.

Q: 6. I am picking up my Canon 90D with battery grip this Saturday. Thinking about getting the Benro TMA37AL and the Benro B3 head. About broke now but want a good tripod and I heard about this one. Will this fit my set up ok? Don't do video just landscape photography here inn the PNW. Thank you for any help.

A: This would be a great ballhead for the 90D + battery grip with all lenses, large and small. It is an incredibly strong ballhead for the price and size/weight! :)

Q: 7. What is the screw size and thread pitch of the ball head female hole ( where you attach the arca clamp)?

A: While Benro indicates the thread size of the screw socket on the base of the Benro B3 Triple Action Ball Head is a 3/8"-16 female-threaded socket, and the thread on the top of the quick release plate is a 1/4-20" male thread, they do not indicate the size of the thread holding the quick release clamp to the ball stem on the ball head.

Q: 8. If I connect the receiver to a mixer with phantom power of 48V (like the Rode RODECaster Pro), will it damage the receiver?

A: The AVX are designed to turn automatically on and off, once phantom power is detected or lost. This won't damage the receiver. However, please note that the AVX do have a 19ms delay in them due to the 1.9 ghz band they transmitter in. This is not noticeable for recorded video and just audio, but do not use these for any live performances or broadcasts.

Q: 9. If I want to use two of these mics(ie. 2 seperate mics and recievers), will they operate normally? Will they interfere with each other?

A: From what I read and what I was told they should operate perfectly .

Q: 10. Can the Benro B3 triple ball head fit on the Benro FGP28 C Go Plus 4 section carbon fibre travel tripod?

A: Yes, it will fit without issue. Generally speaking, most any tripod that has a removable head can take any tripod head.
