The black B3 Omni Lavalier Mic, Mid Gain, with 3.5mm Locking Connector for 15BT and 35BT 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 B3 capsule is resistant to moisture (IP67), 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. This B3's cable terminates to a 3.5mm locking connector for direct connection to 15BT and 35BT Azden wireless bodypack transmitters 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 140 dB for wireless applications. 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.

Low, head miking for theater.

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).

Q: 10. Can I use this with a Zoom H5? If so how?

A: This version of the Tram TR50 is intended for use with a Sennheiser wireless transmitter. If you will be using the mic with a Sennheiser transmitter and also want to be able to connect it directly to an XLR input on the H5, you can use the Tram TR79+ Power Supply for TR50 with Sennheiser EW Series Wireless Connection and Positive Bias Wiring - Battery & Phantom (B&H # TRTR79SETP) which would allow you to power the mic using either an LR44 battery or using phantom power from the H5 (with battery removed) or the Ambient Recording EMP3.5 Electret Microphone Power Adapter for Sennheiser evolution Microphones (B&H # AMEMP3.5) which works with phantom power only. If you do not need a TR50 that can be used with a Sennheiser wireless mic system, then the Tram TR50 Omnidirectional Lavalier Condenser Microphone with XLR Connector - Black (B&H # TRTR50BPS) would be a much better option since it has a hardwired XLR connector and can be connected directly to a mic input on the H5, or connected directly to a mixer or amplifier capable of supplying phantom power.
