- Product Code: ga41510
-
The tan B6 Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone, Low Sensitivity, with Detachable Hirose 4-Pin Connector for Audio-Technica 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 Hirose 4-pin connector for direct connection to an Audio-Technica ATW-T1801, ATW-T27, ATW-T31, ATW-T51, ATW-T201, ATW-T210, ATW-T210a, ATW-T310, or ATW-T310b wireless bodypack transmitter for use with 200 Series, 1100 Series, 1400 Series, 1800 Series, 2000 Series, 2000A Series, 3000 Series, or 3000A Series wireless systems.
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.
Low, head miking for theater.
Related Questions and Answers
Q: 1. Adaptor
A: Cable Adaptor is only for the Shure Wireless body pack (as you can see on the picture).
Q: 2. What is the maximum distance from ear lobe to ear lobe?
A: I dont think there is a single answer to that question. Everyone has a different size head and different size ear lobes. So I dont think there is a single maximum distance from lobe to lobe.
Q: 3. Can this be used without a camera? Can I record direct to my Mac using an Adobe Audition or Garage Band type application?
A: Yes if you have the adapter or interface for the Apple plug. I use the Tascam iXZ for Apple. You will also need an adapter to make it a 1/4 plug.
Q: 4. Is this compatible with the F-975 battery?
A: No it is not. Use this type of battery: IDX System Technology NP-L7S NP-Style Lithium-Ion Battery BH #IDNPL7S: https://bhpho.to/2QvOFIk
Q: 5. Band colors for countryman headset?
A: Countryman designates the sensitivities of the mics in 2 ways, a letter/number combination, and associated band color. They are as follows, W5 = no colored band is for general speaking. W6 = blue band is for very loud speaking, or vocal performance, and W7 = purple band with headroom for the most powerful vocal performance.
Q: 6. Is the receiver compatible with System 10 Pro transmitters?
A: Sorry I dont know
Q: 7. I use a Canon XA10 video camera and will be doing video shots in crowded cocktail bars. I need to find a good lavalier microphone system. I hear that the 2.4GHz is better that the UHF. Yeah? Also, I will usually be needing mics on 2 people as they'll be in the shots at the same time. (Maybe sometimes 3 people!) It seems this system is made for only 1 mic per camera?... I'm a bit new to all this, as you might be able to tell! I'd appreciate any advice or guidance. Thanks!
A: Of my 4 wireless mics the AT System 10 is the best. My other 3 mics (Sony) are analog and use the same freq band as some family radios in the US and of some world phones in Europe and Middle East. I got a lot of interference there. I only use 1 mic but I think that the same receiver can pick up several. I would wholeheartedly recommend The System 10.
Q: 8. My camera audio inputs are XLR. What adapter is recommended to go from 3.5 mini to XLR? Does anyone make a camera mount XLR system?
A: I use a mini plug to xlr adapator I bought through B&H . Not very expensive. However i must say I was not happy with the mic provided with the system. I had to buy another the expensive mini mic. (269 or so) I also don't like that one unit is powered by 2 aa bateries and the other is rechargeable. I like systems where both are AA battery. Sony or Sure systems are better.
Q: 9. Sled accomodate a Powerextra NP-F750/F770
A: The PSC NP-1 Battery Cup with 4-Pin Hirose Connector is designed to accommodate "NP-1" style batteries and will not also accommodate the form factor of the Powerextra NP-F750/F770 batteries.
