The white B3 Omni Lavalier Mic, Mid Gain, with 3.5mm Locking Connector for ZTX-B01 and ZTX-B02RC 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 ZTX-B01 and ZTX-B02RC Sony 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. How much bias power voltage will the transmitter-recorder provide to the lav mic input? Pro lav mics like the DPA or Countryman will require 3-5v.
A: The voltage of the microphone input on the transmitter within the Rode Wireless GO II 2-Person Compact Digital Wireless Omni Lavalier Microphone System/Recorder Kit is not made available by the manufacturer.
Q: 3. Can you pair more than two transmitters with the Blink 500 Pro receiver?
A: No. The Blink 500 Pro receiver has two channels to accommodate a maximum of two transmitters only.
Q: 4. How hard is it to flip the mic around in the clip without tools?
A: The lapel clip in the Sennheiser AVX-ME2 SET Digital Camera-Mount Wireless Omni Lavalier Microphone System can be easily detached from the mic head for reorienting as needed.
Q: 5. The mics and receiver lose their charge while in the case for a few days. Seems crazy. The case is so handy but....How do I avoid this?
A: I do not have that issue and sometimes I do not use my microphones for weeks. Of course, the battery case slowly lose charge, but the the TXs and RX stay at 100% for weeks. You might have a defective unit.
Q: 6. 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: 7. this system works for the nikon z6 and nikon z50
A: Yes, the Boya BY-WM4 PRO K-2 wireless lavalier microphone system is compatible for use with both the Nikon Z6 and Z50 cameras.
Q: 8. What is the size of the XLR connection on the receiver? Will it work with the Zoom H6 with 1/4" XLR connections?
A: Full size XLR. It WILL work with the Zoom H6, as the Zoom H6 has full size XLR inputs.
Q: 9. How is the Lav clip build quality? I have another saramonic system and the clips broke after 2 shoots.
A: The lavalier microphones are basic and reliable. The build quality is very good given the price point for the complete package.
Q: 10. 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.
