The tan B3 Omni Lavalier Mic, Mid Gain, with LEMO 3-Pin Connector for MTP30, MTP40, MTP40S, MTP41, and MTP41S 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 LEMO 3-pin connector for direct connection to MTP30, MTP40, MTP40S, MTP41, and MTP41S WisyCom 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.

Q: 2. How can I use this with a Canon C70, that has mini XLR?

A: Because the receiver in the Sennheiser AVX-ME2 SET Digital Camera-Mount Wireless Omni Lavalier Microphone System is designed to mount directly to a full-sized XLR input, you will first want to physically adapt it elsewhere on the camera, such as to the shoe mount using the Sennheiser Hot Shoe Mount Adapter for EKP-AVX Receiver (BH #SE564595). Then its full-sized XLR connection can be adapted to the Mini XLR inputs on the Canon EOS C70 Cinema Camera using a cable such as the Kondor Blue Mini-XLR Male to XLR Female Audio Cable for Canon C70 (BH #KOMXLR16BK).

Q: 3. 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: 4. Purchased the AVX system and love it. I have misplaced (lost) the Cl 400 XLR to 1/8 cable and the EKP adapter to use with my DSLR. I need to purchase these items but, can not find them anywhere. Have checked B&H and the Sennsheiser site. Any suggestions?

Q: 9. 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: 10. Can this be used internationally?

A: Since this is a self-contained system, you can definitely use it internationally. The transmitter and receiver sync to each other and the receiver plugs right into your recording device - camera, Xoom recorder, whatever. You just need adapter plugs for whatever country you are in for charging the batteries
