The tan 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. 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: 2. Can I buy multiple sets to use for group settings of 4 - 6 people with one receiver unit on the camera?

A: The Rode Wireless GO II 2-Person Compact Digital Wireless Microphone System/Recorder allows up to 8 mics to be used at once in the same setting, however each receiver can only accommodate two transmitter signals. A scenario with 4-6 microphones/transmitters would require 2-3 receivers.

Q: 3. Will this record if I have a Rode Wireless Me?

A: When used for transmitting audio wirelessly, the RODE Wireless GO II TX Transmitter/Recorder is only compatible for use with the Wireless GO II Receiver. It will not transmit to a Wireless ME Receiver. The components for Wireless GO II and Wireless ME systems are not compatible for use together. However, if you want to use the RODE Wireless GO II TX Transmitter/Recorder to record audio only and not transmit audio wirelessly, then it does not require a wireless receiver.

Q: 4. Is there the ability to connect audio to an XLR input?

A: With the proper cables or adapters, it can. To record both channels, you may want to get a 3.5mm Mini to dual XLR, such as HOHMX003Y

Q: 5. Can I link one transmitter to two receivers?

A: No. This is only (up to) two transmitters to one receiver.

Q: 6. Does the battery life change significantly when the wired lav mics are connected?

A: No, most lavalier microphones like the Polsen PL-5 Mini Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone operate using a very small amount of voltage and don't require much power from the transmitter. You should not experience any significant changes to battery life when using the PL-5 with the Rode Wireless GO II Mic System.

Q: 7. 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: 8. Does the Rode Wireless Go II transmit the audio between the transmitter and the receiver in 24bit or 32bit?

A: The Rode Wireless Go II performs A/D conversion at 24-bit resolution, and 24-bit audio is transmitted to the receiver.

Q: 9. I am having trouble using this with Zoom. Without turning up the gain so much that I get feedback, my students cannot hear me because the levels are so low, even though I am maxed out on my PC and my sound mixer level. I cannot use the app because I am running though a physical sound mixer. any suggestions on how to make this louder? Using an adapter 3.5 to TRS for the sound mixer input.

A: Hello, sorry to hear about the issue. what type of adapter are you using? If your input is a balanced input, it's causing cancelation because one side will be out of phase. You most likely need to convert the TRS to TS (mono) going into your mixer.

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 .
