The black Countryman B3 Omnidirectional Lavalier Mic, Standard Sens with LEMO 3-Pin Connector for Zaxcom Wireless Transmitters is a water-resistant, miniature lavalier microphone for capturing high-quality audio. It can be used in a variety of applications such as a tie-clip lavalier in interviews, a hair-hidden mic for drama, a water-resistant mic for water sports and hurricane reporting, or simply a small mic to hide in a prop flower vase.

The capsule is resistant to moisture, which allows for placement in the hair or on bare skin, and its omnidirectional polar pattern minimizes handling noise, wind noise, and plosives (popping). Furthermore, a variety of skin-matching colors are available. The B3's cable terminates to a LEMO 3-pin connector for direct connection to a Zaxcom wireless bodypack transmitter. Additionally, a carrying case, a windscreen, two cable clips, and three protective caps are also included.

Looks great when you want to see it, virtually disappears when you don't. The B3 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 B3 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 B3 provides high-quality audio with low distortion at SPLs up to 150 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 B3 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.

Q: 1. Will this work with the Rode Wireless Go 2?

A: Yes. The Tram TR50 Omni Lavalier Microphone with 3.5mm Locking Sennheiser Connector (Black) BH #TRTR50BSETP will work with the RODE Wireless Go II system.

Q: 2. Just received two TR-50's with TA5 ends. Neither work with my transmitters - Lectro sonics UM400a and SMV. Can someone explain why?

A: I have previously ordered one from B & H, had an issue with it, and sent it back for a replacement with no problem. My guess is that some of their mics aren't getting qc'd very well.

Q: 3. If you are doing a sit down interview, is there an advantage to using this wired, XLR version of the tram mic over the wireless version with the sennheiser g3/g4? Is the sound quality better with the wired mic?

A: Yes there is an advantage. ALL wireless systems, regardless if price, process the audio by compressing (at Transmitter) and expanding (at Receiver). This process adversely affects audio. A wired mic, such as the Tram provides better sound quality and 100% reliability (as long as it stays plugged in).
