The light beige B3 Omni Lavalier Mic, Mid Gain, with TA4F Connector for HD 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 HD Revolabs 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. Do you need to use the app to start recording on the transmitters? Can it be started on the unit itself?

A: The recodings are done directly on each transmitter. No additional apps or software is needed

Q: 2. Not being a pro sound guy so I'm trying to avoid Sennheiser products, I'm looking for solutions to these uses: First, will it work with BMPCC 4k-8k? 4k does not have a hot shoe. Second, I'm setting up podcasts with up to six speakers using different cameras. How can I configure this with Rode ll? I am using Black Magic Atem Mini Pro switcher that has four html inputs and 2 mic connects. At any rate, what about compatibility?

A: The Rode Go will plug into the Black Magic (or any compatible device) using the 3.5mm jack. However, If you plan on havng six microphones on set (the limit wth this system is 8) I recommend connecting the microphones into a mixer then taking the output of the mixer into the ATEM.

Q: 3. If the on-camera person has the transmitter behind her back and the receiver is by the camera operator, will the system will work? The line of sight would be obstructed by the on-camera person in this case.

A: I don't expect that there would be a problem with the signal from the Rode Wireless GO II transmitter and receiver communicating as long as they are not very far away from each other. In the unlikely event that you do experience any problems with the signal dropping, you can have the person move the transmitter closer to their side or as another option, use a long cable to connect the receiver to the camera and that would allow you to relocate the receiver and place it so it is in better line of sight with the transmitter.

Q: 4. If you have two of these, how do you record 4 outputs? Do you need buy external recorder?

A: Yes, A 4 channel recorder is needed to have 4 individual "tracks".

Q: 5. Can the receiver be powered/charged via a Dtap source? (DC 11.9-17v, Unregulated). With a Dtap to Microusb cable?

A: A D-tap battery would have too much voltage and would damage the AVX receiver. I would recommend using an external power bank, such as the mophie 22,000mAh powerstation AC Portable Battery Pack (Black), BH #MO4167.

Q: 6. What are the components that come in the product box?

A: The RODE Wireless GO II Single Compact Digital Wireless Microphone System/Recorder comes with a clip-on transmitter, a dual-channel wireless receiver, two SC20 USB Type-A to USB Type-C cables, an SC5 3.5mm TRS memory cable, two furry windshields, and a carry pouch.

Q: 7. Can 1 mic be recorded in stereo?

A: Yes, when set to Mono Mode, the Saramonic Blink 500 Pro B2 2-Person Digital Camera-Mount Wireless Omni Lavalier Microphone System can output a single microphone signal through both the left and right channels of the receiver.

Q: 8. Charging

A: The components of the Rode Wireless GO II 2-Person Compact Digital Wireless Microphone System/Recorder are charged over USB via their onboard USB-C connections.

Q: 9. The original Wireless Go timed out and shut down after 15 minutes if not connected together. Do these auto turn off after X minutes as well?

A: Yes, this one too times out after 15 minutes of inactivity if there is no wireless link

Q: 10. Does the latency affect how the audio sounds in headphones? I'm getting a weird reverb/echo sound when listening live

A: There is latency, but when I monitor with headphones, I only notice that when I remove one side of my head phone to hear live sound. Also, not sure if you are hearing the recorded sound from the record device instead of the input to that device, and if you are hearing the recorded sound that will add additional latency, but that is only an issue if you are hearing the live audio and the headphone audio at the same time. I have used these mics as direct input to my Sony PVM EX 1 and other cameras and there is no latency issue there. I have also had 4 of these mics recording into a Tascam 6 track digital recorder and then in post synched up to the video with no latency issues.
