The black B6 Omnidirectional Lavalier Mic, Standard Sens, with Hardwired 3-Pin XLR Connector 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.

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, or taped to a performer's face. Never suffer the hassle and degraded sound quality of under-clothing miking again.

The B6 is exceptionally resistant to makeup, sweat, and moisture when used with the supplied protective caps, and is well-suited to use in the hair or on the body. The protective caps are easily removed for cleaning or replacement, and the aramid-reinforced cable gives it durability.

The B6 provides professional-quality audio with low distortion at SPL up to 140 dB on 48V phantom power. The aramid cable and ultra-thin diaphragm combine to deliver very low handling noise. The tiny size and natural sound pickup make the B6 easy to position for ambient noise and feedback rejection.

Swappable, protective caps allow you to shape the frequency response for different situations or to match other microphones. The hardwired XLR connector allows you to interface with other preamps, amplifiers, mixers, and other equipment.

Standard, for most uses.

Q: 1. The included mic has decent gain. My TR-50 lavs barely move the meter and the waveform doesn't even show audio. When I normalize the audio is there, I know this is 32 bit floating point, but I'd like to have at least some normal input level. Is the answer to only use their included lav?

A: Yes this Mic is pretty good will get the job done! for Blogeer or interview

Q: 2. When using the 3.5mm Analog out to record directly into the camera is it using the Tascam's HDDA Preamp or the cameras preamp?

A: If you have a microphone connected to one of the XLR inputs on the TASCAM CA-XLR2d-F XLR Microphone Adapter Kit, and the 3.5mm output of the TASCAM CA-XLR2d-F XLR Microphone Adapter Kit is going into the 3.5mm mic input on your camera, it would mean that both the HDDA preamp and the preamp inside of the camera are being used.

Q: 3. can i add rode videomic ntg on this?

A: Yes, you can use a standard TRS cable for the 3.5mm output. Since the F2 has a locking connector, use a cable like the Sennheiser CL1 3.5mm to 3.5mm Output Cable for EW Series Camera-Mount Receiver (B&H# SECL1) which has a non-locking 3.5mm TRS connector on one side and a locking 3.5mm TRS connector for the recorder's input. This cable is 20" long but you can use a standard aux extension cable like the Hosa Technology Stereo Mini Male to Stereo Mini Female Audio Cable - 10' (B&H# HOSMMSMF10) or any similar cable in the length you need. Connect the male end to the mic's output and the female end will connect to extend the length of the cable connected to the F2's locking input.

Q: 4. Will this act as an audio input device via the usb?

A: No, the F2 does not function as an audio input device like a USB audio interface. When connected to a computer via USB, the F2 can transfer files and you can also control the F2's settings while using the F2 Editor app. The USB port can also be used with Zoom's AD-17 adapter for AC power.

Q: 5. Will this work in digital hot shoe mode on an X-H1?

A: Unfortunately the Tascam CA-XLR2d-F is not compatible with the Fujifilm X-H1.

Q: 6. Could the headphone or line output somehow feed a mirrorless camera or would the camera's mic be a better reference track? Too bad there are no camera recording 32bit.

A: If you were to being using this recorder close enough to the camera that you could run an extension cable coupled with an attenuator cable, then yes, you could connect the headphone out to the camera. However, since this was designed with the intention of allowing mobility while recording, we'd suggest using a separate dslr mic on camera for quality scratch audio, such as this B&H # ROVMPR.

Q: 7. Real world question, how durable is this? In other words, can you sit on it? (That's how lav recorders/transmitters are used..)

A: The Zoom F2 Ultracompact Portable Field Recorder with Lavalier Microphone is very durable. It is not recommended that you sit on it, as it comes with a belt clip for clipping to the belt line of the person who is using the lavalier microphone. You can also activate the 'Hold' setting on the recorder, in case any buttons are pressed during recording, the audio recording will not be affected.

Q: 8. What strength of attenuator cable should i use if going from a headphone jack of the zoom p4 into the mic input of this device? It will give me the ability to record at 48khz, which the zoom p4 does not have.

A: Kopul ACDR-35 Line-to-Mic Attenuator Cable B&H # KOACDR35: https://bhpho.to/3igNdJf The Kopul ACDR-35 Line-to-Mic Attenuator Cable is designed to connect your digital recorder output to the mic level input of your DSLR camera with 35dB of attenuation to step down the hot line level audio to microphone level. It is shielded to reduce RF noise from cell phones and provide interference-free operation.

Q: 9. Does this recorder support exFAT file system? Does it have a limit to file size? Some recorders break and restart new files at a 2gig limit. Can you make a 3, or 5 or 8 gig single audio file?

A: No, the F2 records 32-bit float WAV file format and is BWF compatible. It records to microSD cards up to 512 GB maximum. The recording continues until you press the stop button and does not automatically break in the middle to start a new file so you can make 3, 4, or 5 GB single recorded audio files.

Q: 10. Can this record stereo if using an adapter for the mic input?

A: The F2 does record audio on two channels. When using the included microphone (which has a single mic element and a 3.5mm TRS locking connector) the audio recorded is dual mono, so it is the same audio on both the left and right channels. An actual stereo microphone uses two individual elements to deliver different audio on the left and right channels. Using an adapter for the mic input of the F2 may not provide actual stereo separation. Please contact us by phone or through live chat on the website if you would like further assistance.
