The black B6 Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone, Very Low Sensitivity, with Detachable 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.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. To be used hidden on clothes for film, do i need Standard or low sensitivity?

A: Mic sensitivity is related to how much gain you have to give the mic. A low sensitive mic would need more gain sent to it to get a good audio level, and is used for live stage use, or in a loud environments. The real issue you have to deal with when hiding a mic on clothes is keeping the head of the mic away from fabric rubbing on it. I would suggest a standard gain mic, and then utilize mic mounting solutions, such as the Bubblebee Industries Invisible Lavalier Microphone Covers, BH #BUBBIILC30. or the Remote Audio Foamies Foam Mounts for Lavalier Microphones (Set of 12, White), BH #REUFOAMIEWH. These products will protect the mic, and when properly placed on the talent, can provide the best sound, minus the clothing rubbing.

Q: 2. does this work with the zoom h1?

A: No it will not work with the Zoom H1 since this microphone has a XLR connection and the H1 does not. I use this mic with a ZOOM H5 and it works great.

Q: 3. Does this have a mircodot connector? Is it compatible with DPA lavs?

A: This XLR adapter does not have a microdot connector, so it would not be compatible with DPA microphones. The appropriate adapter is the DPA Microphones DAD6001 Microdot to 3-Pin XLR Adapter with Belt Clip, BH #DPDAD6001BC

Q: 4. Will this work with the Sennheiser XSW-D PORTABLE LAVALIER SET?

Q: 5. 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: 8. I assume this should also work with an E6 TA4F microphone. Does anyone know for sure? I didn't know if each of them required different voltages. Thanks!

A: The first answer provided (Aug 14, 2018) seems incorrect. The E6, B6, and H6 microphones are electrically similar (Ref: https://countryman.com/microphone-wiring/). I would fully expect this unit to work with any of the three (with the TA4F connector).
