The white B6 Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone, Very Low Sensitivity, with Detachable Microdot Connector for Sennheiser Wireless Transmitters from Countryman is a very small lav microphone measuring one tenth of an inch in diameter. It can be used to capture audio for theater, broadcast, house of worship, and general lavalier applications.

This version is the least sensitive mic and a good choice for instrument applications, opera, or where the microphone will be positioned very near the mouth. Built with a low handling noise and rugged construction, the B6 lavalier microphone can be easily hidden in a performer's hair or on costumes, ties, or behind a shirt button. It can also be attached to eyeglasses, for a secure, discreet, and convenient alternative to hair miking. The ultrathin diaphragm deliver a natural sound while its tiny size makes the B6 easy to position for ambient noise and feedback rejection. The B6's aramid-reinforced cable terminates to a Microdot connector for direct connection to Sennheiser SK 2012 wireless bodypack transmitters.

Additionally, the included swappable protective caps let you shape the frequency response for different situations or to match other microphones. The B6 is resistant to makeup, sweat, and moisture when used with a protective cap, which can be quickly removed for cleaning or replacement.

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.

Very low, mic near user's mouth.

Q: 1. If recorder is accidentally set to Phantom power (48V) can the receiver be damaged when using minijack to XLR Adaptor (Rode VXLR for instance) ?

A: Some devices will be okay and some will not. It is hard to know fr sure. For best results make sure to check that the power is turmed off.

Q: 2. Where is this made? Asia or Germany?

A: Made in Romania

Q: 3. can I use the lavalier microphone and the handheld microphone at the same time?

A: Yes, you can use both transmitters at the same time with the Sennheiser EM-XSW 1 receiver. The receiver has two separate channels so it works with two wireless transmitters/microphones at the same time.

Q: 4. What rechargeable battery pack does this take?

A: The transmitter uses the Sennheiser BA2015G2 battery pack and L2015G2 charging station. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/324393-REG/Sennheiser_BA2015G2_BA_2015G2_Rechargeable_Battery.html https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1367658-REG/sennheiser_k2015_charging_station_with.html

Q: 5. Is there a separate XLR out for each channel?

A: Yes, the Sennheiser EM-XSW 1 Dual-Channel Stationary Receiver has separate XLR and 1/4" outputs for each channel.

Q: 6. how many transmitters could i use with 1 receiver ?

A: This is a single receiver system that works with only one transmitter. If you require additional mics, then you would use full systems for each mic set to different frequencies.

Q: 7. What is Wireless range in and outdoors?

A: The Sennheiser XSW system will give you about 75 to 100 feet operational distance. Line of sight.

Q: 8. Does this microphone come with an XLR cable? If no, what cable will I need to connect it to Canon XA40 Professional UHD 4K Camcorder?

A: It does not come with an XLR cable. You can either go into the 3.5mm mic input on the Canon XA40 Professional UHD 4K or use get this cable to use the XLR input. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1145659-REG/kopul_rsmxm_01_stereo_1_8_mini_male.html

Q: 9. Does this have a application that you could stream audio to a phone for Facebook or Instagram Live?

A: No it does not have an application. You can use a Rode SC4 adapter to connect it to your smartphone and it would over rule the internal microphone on your smartphone. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1048151-REG/rode_sc4_trs_to_trrs_adaptor.html

Q: 10. How does one judge the quality of audio relayed from transmitter to receiver? Wondering in context of wanting to connect a field recorder (using stereo mini jack) to TX unit

A: Usually the first thing we look at is frequency response, which is how low (bass) and high (treble) it can produce. Typically 20 Hz to 20 kHz is considered full frequency response. The frequency response on this system is 80 Hz to 18 kHz, which is really not bad considering that the human voice is not going to get down any where near 20 Hz, and when you experience background noise it manifests in the lower frequencies, and you would engage a HPF (High Pass Filter) to eliminate the lower frequencies. We'll also take into consideration the SPL (Sound Pressure Level) that the microphone can handle before distorting. The mic that comes with this system can handle 120 dB SPL, which is very good. Another consideration is latency, which is how long it takes for the signal to travel from transmitter to receiver, and this system has less than 4 millisecond latency, which is imperceptible.
