The white B3 Omni Lavalier Mic, Mid Gain, with cH-Style 4-Pin Connector for ATW-T5201 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 cH-style 4-pin connector for direct connection to ATW-T5201 Audio Technica 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 use this in a theatre setting for live sound?

A: Yes. Suggest using with the optional Lav mic.

Q: 2. Can I use my Sennheiser MKE 2 Gold Series Subminiature Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone with Locking 3.5mm Connector with the RODE Wireless Go II?

A: No. The transmitter included in the RODE Wireless GO II Single 1-Person Compact Digital Wireless Omni Lavalier Microphone System/Recorder Kit cannot supply a sufficient amount of voltage to power the Sennheiser MKE 2 Gold Series Subminiature Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone with Locking 3.5mm Connector. The MKE 2 requires 7.5V and the transmitter can only supply 5V.

Q: 3. Could a client use this audio equipment for their webinars?

A: It would be really useful if you give say blackboard talks and you record or broadcast the video. In a pro setting, TV anchors would use it. If you have someone who turns their head a lot, say takes audience questions from all sides, you may want a face mic instead of this lapel mic, but that's more visible overall.

Q: 4. In combination with a 20dB physical pad is line-level input possible? For example the Whirlwind IMPAD20?

A: Rode confirmed that a -20DB pad will enable the transmitter to handle line level input.

Q: 5. 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: 6. $157 for two lav mics? The Go II kit is $299, why is this then $457? That would make those lavs VERY expensive.

A: The Wireless GO II system (B&H # ROWGII) for $299 includes the two Clip-On Transmitters, the Dual-Channel Wireless Receiver, three SC20 USB Type-A to USB Type-C Cables, an SC5 3.5mm TRS Memory Cable, three Furry Windshields, and a Carry Pouch. The transmitters have built-in microphones but there are no separate external lavalier microphones included with the system. Rode does not include the separate external mics because they are optional accessories. That allows customers to decide whether or not they want a separate microphone and to use any compatible microphone, which they may already have. The B&H Kit (B&H # ROWGIIK) for $456.95 is the same exact Wireless GO II system mentioned above with the addition of two Rode Lavalier GO Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphones (B&H # ROLAVGO). The Lavalier GO microphones are $79 each, which is actually a very reasonable price for a Rode microphone. The B&H Kit was put together for convenience -- to make it easy for customers who want to purchase the Wireless GO II system along with two Lavalier GO microphones to be able to click on one item, add it to their shopping cart, and know that they are purchasing all of the items they need rather than having to add three separate items (the Wireless GO II system plus two Lavalier GO mics) to their shopping cart.

Q: 7. Can this unit be used to receive a dial in guest

A: Rode Wireless GO II 2-Person Compact Digital Wireless Microphone System/Recorder (2.4 GHz, Black) offers a 3.5mm TRS input on the transmitters and 3.5mm TRS output on the receiver. The products themselves do not do dial in guest capability, but one can interface this transmission system with other systems through cable adaption.

Q: 8. How can I mount this on my Sony a7 III ?

A: The receiver mounts to the accessory shoe on the Sony a7 III.

Q: 9. If I connect the receiver to a mixer with phantom power of 48V (like the Rode RODECaster Pro), will it damage the receiver?

A: The AVX are designed to turn automatically on and off, once phantom power is detected or lost. This won't damage the receiver. However, please note that the AVX do have a 19ms delay in them due to the 1.9 ghz band they transmitter in. This is not noticeable for recorded video and just audio, but do not use these for any live performances or broadcasts.

Q: 10. Is it possible to use both transmitters for say bride and groom and have also have a shotgun mic for audio all on the same camera?

A: Yes, it would be possible to mix three channels of audio into the same camera using the Rode Wireless GO II 2-Person Compact Digital Wireless Microphone System/Recorder and a shotgun microphone. Assuming the operator is using a DSLR/Mirrorless camera, a setup of this nature would typically require a dedicated "camera mixer" to receive the three microphone signals and then output a left/right stereo mix of these signals into the camera's external microphone input at an acceptable level. A great example of this type of mixer is the Beachtek DXA-MICRO-PRO PLUS Active Audio Adapter for DSLRs and Camcorders (BH #BEDXAMICROPP): https://bhpho.to/3wqo4Bk
