The tan B6 Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone, Low Sens, with Detachable TA4F Connector for Shure 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 TA4F connector for direct connection to a Shure MXW1 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.

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: 7. Is this a stereo mic? My film clip using this mic is audible in only one side of headphones.

A: I think the issue is that you are recording only to one channel (left or right), this is a setting in your camera or recording device. If its a single person, then you want both channels to be using the same mono audio track, if you have two people on the clip, then decide to make them both mono on the 2 channels or alternate the speakers between the two channels. Most likely, you just need to set the camera to record the single input on both channels or in your post editing software, select the audio channel and there should be an option to copy it or reference it for both the left and right channel,

Q: 8. When it says Moisture Resistant Capsule does that mean I can strap it to someone standing in a pool talking? It might get dunked.

Q: 10. Just bought this. The whole mic arm picks up sound even a beard or turning of the head. The mic itself with a wind screen picks up all of the pastors ps and bs. Our gain is way down. Solutions?

A: Best practice for using the H6 would be to position the mic slightly below the mouth and extend the boom too far forward. This will help eliminate the popping p s and sibilant s sounds. Also making sure the boom and capsule is not touching the users cheek which muffles the sound and cause rubbing that would be picked up by the mic.
