The beige B3 Omnidirectional Lavalier Mic, Standard Sens, with TA5F Connector for Lectrosonics Wireless Transmitters from Countryman 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 TA5F connector for direct connection to a Lectrosonics M185 or M187 wireless bodypack transmitter. Additionally, a carrying case, two cable clips, a windscreen, 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 SPL 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.

I shot part of my documentary using the Sennheiser wireless lavs but needed to purchase something more affordable that was the same quality. Happy with this wired lav.

I have been focused more of video, but over the past year became more intrigued with audio. This lav works very well with my wireless setup. These lav cam be easily concealed and the has excellent all around sound I find for both male and female.

Needed a quality mic to record some interviews for a historical video series. Paired with my Sennheisser system, this little mic worked great. This is my 3rd Countryman mic and all seem solid. I'm happy with it.

We're really happy with countryman mics. We just bought 6 more to round out our collection and have one consistent mic through-out our production house

Great mic for any beginner on a small budget. The B3 is capable of capturing cinema quality audio. However it does require a little more post production processing to achieve the sound of the Sanken or DP. To get rid of handling noise bumblebee industries makes amazing rubber mounts for the B3.

Just that. I really didn't want to leave a review, I only wanted to give it full marks.

We upgraded the sound of our Shure wireless mic by replacing the "general purpose" lapel mic with this Countryman B3. While the Shure lapel that came with the system was not bad, the Countryman is brighter, crisper and much smaller in size. For a modest investment, we've made a noticeable improvement in our Shure BLX wireless system

Please note: EVERY microphone requires power (gain) to work properly and these Countryman lavaliers require a MINIMUM of 4V bias or 12V phantom to work. This power can be provided by a camera or preferably a wireless body pack or small recorder. Example: the Zoom F2 provides 2.5V of bias power which will not drive the Countryman B3. The signal (sound) will be very low and gain will need to be provided by a stronger source before reaching the camera or recorder to obtain -12 to -18 dbl. Location Audio 101.

This is a very high quality, easily hidden, lav mic, and I have nothing but good things to say about it. The sound quality difference between my older Shure lav mic and this one is very noticeable. My clients love it as it it disappears completely when taped to the inside of a shirt, tucked into hair, etc. I wish I had bought it sooner!
