The cocoa B3 Omni Lavalier Mic, Mid Gain, with 3-Pin XLR Connector for UH200d, UH400, and UH400a 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 3-Pin XLR connector for direct connection to UH200d, UH400, and UH400a Lectrosonics 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.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Is it possible to power the transmitter while in use from an external power source?

A: The receiver battery can be charged while in use. It is smaller than the transmitter batteries in order to keep the receiver tiny and plug two next to each other into a camcorder with two XLRs. With a Mophie you get literally unlimited operating time.The transmitter batteries last some 15 hours, they cannot be charged while in use.

Q: 2. I tried this unit indoors within office buildings and at conferences and in both settings the audio would sometimes cut out and be unusable. Has anyone else experienced this? Since the 2.4 ghz spectrum is fairly crowded and there is nothing to configure on these I'm assuming I need to look at a better system.

A: As you mention, the Saramonic Blink 500 Pro B2 2-Person Digital Camera-Mount Wireless Omni Lavalier Microphone System operates on a relatively crowded 2.4GHz spectrum (shared with WiFi) and can be limited in its operation in some frequency-intense scenarios. Bodies in between transmitter and receiver as well as certain building materials are also classic inhibitors to the function of many wireless systems.

Q: 3. Does anyone use this with the Sony F6X? I read the FX6 has problems with some mics

A: The Sony FX6 is fully compatible with the Sennheiser AVX-ME2 system.

Q: 4. On the receiver does one mic go out the left channel and the other mic on the right channel or are they mixed together?

A: When using the Saramonic SR-WM2100 2-Person Camera-Mount Digital Wireless Omni Lavalier Microphone System to record, the audio from both microphones is combined into a mono signal, so that both mics can be heard on the left and right channels.

Q: 5. Is the transmitter compatible with the Sanken COS-11D or Tram TR50 mics?

A: Both Sanken and Tram offer lavaliers compatible with the Sennheiser AVX transmitter. COS11-D https://bhpho.to/2e5V6zy Tram TR50 - https://bhpho.to/2fIs7Bx

Q: 6. So, what happens when someone uses a microwave oven around these? That usually wipes out 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi when it's running, and these are on the same frequency.

A: It is possible for a microwave oven in very close proximity to create interference such as static noise in the audio signal of wireless microphone systems that operate within the 2.4 GHz frequency band, but unlikely that a microwave oven will completely wipe out the audio signal. The same issues can occur with cell phones, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi. If you find that microwave ovens are interfering with the transmission of your wireless microphone signal, then it would be best to select a system that operates within a different frequency band such as UHF or VHF.

Q: 7. I have an iPhone 15 pro max which requires a usb-c connector, which adapter do I need to purchase for the receiver?

A: The Saramonic SR-WM2100 2-Person Camera-Mount Digital Wireless Omni Lavalier Microphone System for Cameras and Smartphones (2.4 GHz) can be connected to an iPhone 15 using a 3.5mm to USB-C adapter such as B&H # APMU7E2AMA.

Q: 8. What is the usable operating range for this product (max distance between transmitter and receiver)?

A: I don't know exactly but I tested mine out and it was FAR! With nothing blocking the distance between the transmitter and receiver I got clean audio from my house to the end of my street which is about 6 houses down. My gues would be at least 600 feet. The only reason that I didn't test it further is because my street came to an end and I know that I most likely will never come close to even needing that much distance. I absolutely love this system.

Q: 9. I need to connect to an iPhone 13. Which adapter do I need?

A: To use the Saramonic SR-WM2100 2-Person Camera-Mount Digital Wireless Omni Lavalier Microphone System for Cameras and Smartphones (2.4 GHz) with an iPhone 13 you need this adapter, BH #APLAADAP (https://bhpho.to/49ln8zA).

Q: 10. Newbie question... I see that this system uses a 24 bit resolution. If I used the AVX system with the Zoom F6, with this allow for 32 bit float recording?

A: Though the sample rate of the digital transmission of this wireless system is 24-bit, the final signal that comes out of the receiver through the XLR connection has been converted to analog audio. The Zoom F6 will be able to record this signal in the 32 bit floating point format .
