Countryman B6 Omni Lavalier Mic, Standard Sens, With Detachable Waterproof 2.5mm Connector For Lectrosonics Wireless Transmitters (beige)
- Product Code: ga39389
-
The beige B6 Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone, Standard Sensitivity, with Detachable Waterproof 2.5mm Connector for Lectrosonics 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 waterproof 2.5mm connector for direct connection to a Lectrosonics WM 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.
Standard, for most uses.
Related Questions and Answers
Q: 1. hi, I'm looking at purchasing the countryman B3 lavalier mics. please between the low and the standard mic sensitives, which among the two is suitable for recording movie dialogues.
A: Low sensitivity lavs are generally reserved for subjects with BIG voices like those vocalists in Opera, Rock or public speakers with trained and loud elocution skills. Use the standard sensitivity for film, television, and most general application work.
Q: 2. I need to do an interview on a round table with max 3 persons..will this Mic be suitable for such a setting, using only one Mic?
A: No. Not a good idea.
Q: 3. Will this work with a Olympus digital recorder that has a 3.5mm input? By this I also wonder does it have that screw type thing for the wireless transmitter or without one as I need one without the screw type piece so it fits nicely?
A: The Countryman B3 for TOA transmitters features a mono 1/8 jack with locking screw connector. There is currently no B3 available designed for use with a portable recorder.
Q: 4. Which TA5 connection will work for lectrosonics ZS-LRLT kit? There are 3 TA5 options but none list this specific body pack.
A: This Countryman B3 is compatible for use with the L Series LT transmitter included in the Lectrosonics ZS-LRLT kit. The TA5F (LS) notation for the connector shown in the description indicates that it is compatible.
Q: 5. Does it work with Zoom h1 ? Thank you
A: This will not work with a Zoom H1. You could use these countryman mics:Countryman EMW Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone for Digital Recorders (Black)B&H # COMEMWSFF05B. ----------------------------------Countryman B6 Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone (Black) B&H # COB6W4BD2
Q: 6. Can i use it with my Sony microdot Connector?
A: No, the Countryman B3W4FF05BSE B3 Omni Lavalier Mic, Standard Sensitivity, with MicroDot Connector for Sennheiser Wireless Transmitters is wired specifically for direct connection to a Sennheiser SK 2012 wireless bodypack transmitter. Sony uses a proprietary wiring configuration which is different from the wiring configuration used by Sennheiser. As an option for the same microphone wired for compatibility with a Sony wireless bodypack transmitter that has a 3.5mm locking connector, you can use the Countryman B3 Omni Lavalier Mic, Standard Sensitivity, with 3.5mm Locking Connector for Sony Wireless Transmitters - Black (B&H # COB3W4BSN). For the same microphone wired for compatibility with a Sony wireless bodypack transmitter with a Hirose connector, you can use the Countryman B3 Omni Lavalier Mic, Standard Sensitivity, with Hirose 4-Pin Connector for Sony Wireless Transmitters - Black (B&H # COB3W4FF5BDS).
Q: 7. Will this work with a Zoom H1?
A: This model of the Countryman B3 is designed to connect to a Sennheiser transmitter that features a locking 3.5mm connector. We have had customers who claim the mic will function and the H1 is able to supply proper power to the mic as well. Unfortunately we are not able to confirm and generally do not recommend this mic for use with portable recorders.
Q: 8. What's the sound quality compared to the sennheiser mke-2?
A: The MKE-2 out-performs the B3 in its sound quality, noise and SPL specs.
Q: 9. will this work with sennheiser EK 100 G3?
A: This particulr version features an XLR connection that requires phantom power. This is designed for connection to a mixer or recorder that features XLR inputs. Countryman does however offer this mic with a locking 3.5mm connector designed for Sennheiser transmitters. See B&H# COB3W5BSR
Q: 10. Compatible w. both G2 and G3 transmitters - or is there maybe issues to be aware of?
A: Works as intended. Much better than the MKE-2.
