The beige B6 Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone, Standard Sens, with Hardwired TA3F Connector for AKG Wireless Transmitters from Countryman is a very small lav microphone measuring one tenth of an inch in diameter with changeable protective caps, which provide moisture resistance and color options. The mic can be used to capture audio for theater, broadcast, churches, and general lavalier applications.

Built with a low handling noise and rugged construction, the B6 lavalier microphone can be easily hidden in hair or on costumes, or taped to a performer's face. The aramid cable and ultra-thin diaphragm deliver a natural sound while its tiny size makes the B6 easy to position for ambient noise and feedback rejection. The B6's cable terminates to a TA3F connector for direct connection to an AKG DPT700, PT40, PT45, PT60, PT61, PT80, PT81, PT400, PT450, PT470, PT2000, PT4000, or PT4500 wireless bodypack transmitter.

Additionally, swappable protective caps let you shape the frequency response for different situations or match other microphones. The B6 microphone is resistant to makeup, sweat, and moisture when used with the supplied protective caps. These caps can be quickly removed for cleaning or replacement.

Looks great when you want to see it, virtually disappears when you don't. The B6 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 B6 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 B6 provides high-quality audio with low distortion at SPL up to 140 dB on 48V phantom power. 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 B6 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: 1. How do I input the stereo mini plug (3.5mm) from a Rode Video mic or similar . I actually only want to use it as a mono source. Do I need a mini to XLR adapter?

Q: 2. When recording nature, bird calls, ocean sounds etc should the low cut filter be used? If so what would the best setting be?

A: Depending on what you are recording, the settings needed can vary in different environments and when using different microphones so it's best to monitor the audio through headphones while recording and always do some testing to see what settings work best each time. The low cut filter can help to reduce noise when recording nature sounds, but it's always beneficial to experiment first and record a few samples to find out what works best with your recording setup in a particular environment. There is a lot of helpful information available on the internet that you can find by searching "How to record nature sounds" or be more specific and search "How to record bird calls" or "How to record ocean sounds."
