The light beige B3 Omni Lavalier Mic, Mid Gain, with TA4F Connector for AD1, ADX1, AXT100TA4F, GLXD1, PGXD1, QLXD1, and ULXD1 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 TA4F connector for direct connection to AD1, ADX1, AXT100TA4F, GLXD1, PGXD1, QLXD1, and ULXD1 Shure 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: 2. 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.

Q: 3. Can I plug this into a PC if I am using the web cam?

A: Yes, the BOYA BY-WM4 PRO-K2 can be connected to a PC to use as an external microphone to for audio to accompany video or for audio-only applications. You may want to connect the receiver to the computer using a USB audio interface like the Audio-Technica Consumer ATR2x-USB 3.5mm to USB 2.0 Type-C Audio Adapter (B&H # AUATR2XUSB).

Q: 7. Will this system work with RODE Lavalier mics, or do I have to use the mics that are included?

A: Yes, the BOYA BY-WM4 PRO-K2 Two-Person Digital Camera-Mount Wireless Omni Lavalier Microphone System can be used with other lavalier microphones made by different manufacturers. You can use certain lavalier mics that have a standard 3.5mm TRS male connector and operate with plug-in power like the Lavalier GO Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone (B&H # ROLAVGO).

Q: 8. Is there an option to charge it directly to the receiver and transmitter if in case the charging case breakdown?

A: Yes. The transmitters and receivers both have MicroUSB charging ports on them for charging while in use, or away from the case. I can't see a reason the charging case will breakdown, but if it does contact our support team and we will replace it.

Q: 9. Does this system record the two audio channels as two seperate audio tracks?

A: The specs do not indicate two SEPARATE audio channels; there is a single audio output listed as a balanced line out (TRS). USUALLY, these types of receivers "mix" the two mics into one channel. IF it does record these separately, it would be as a stereo signal, one mic to the Left, one mic to the Right. This is typical of these types of receivers. That means you MAY have the ability to adjust each mic received separately, however, you would need to move these to the "center" in post production, otherwise the mics would be far left and right, so would not be ideal, as each person on the individual mics would be far left and far right when played back, which may be un-natural when viewing two people in conversation, if they are shown at center in the video.

Q: 10. Considering Benro B3 vs benro B4 any pros or cons to the quick release plate?

A: The Benro B3 comes with the PU60 plates (60mm long) versus the Benro B4's PU70 (70mm long). Depending on the size of your camera and the position of its battery door, either plate might obstruct it, but the longer plate has a higher chance of doing so.
