The white B3 Omni Lavalier Mic, Mid Gain, with 3.5mm Locking Connector for UT86P 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 3.5mm locking connector for direct connection to UT86P Sky 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 bought this and tried it out once. I'm not a professional videographer and have to create short videos for work. It seemed simple to set up but when I went to edit the video the sound is incredibly distorted. It sounds like it's playing through a blown out speaker. I've tried playing it on multiple devices so I know it is not my computer. Did I somehow set it up incorrectly? Very confused. Thanks

A: You may need to make adjustments to the settings for the receiver's output level or the camera's input level. If your camera has an automatic level control, you will need to deactivate it. The receiver also has an automatic level control which can't be deactivated, so you don't want the camera and receiver to interfere with each other as they are making their adjustments. You may also want to check the setting for the camera's input sensitivity level and lower it, if needed. You can check the output level display on the camera while using the mic. You should see the level peak when the mic is picking up louder audio, but it should not be clipping. If necessary, you can adjust the receiver's output level using the AF Out button on the receiver. Please feel free to contact us if you are still having trouble. We will be happy to help.
