The black B3 Omni Lavalier Mic, Standard Sens, with TA3F Connector for RAD360-BP 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 TA3F connector for direct connection to RAD360-BP Audix 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.

Standard, for most uses.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Can the original Rode Wireless Go connect to the receiver?

A: No, the original Rode Wireless Go transmitters are not compatible for use with the Wireless Go II receiver. The two systems use different technology and their components do not communicate with each other. It may be a possibility in the future if updates can be created that will enable backwards compatibility.

Q: 2. How long is the cable from the split?

A: The cable for the Deity Microphones Dual-Head W.Lav Pro Omni Lavalier Microphones (Black) is approximately 63" long, including the mics. The length from the mics to the split is approximately 39" and the length from the split to the connector is approximately 24".

Q: 3. Does this mic combo require use of a Sennheiser app for recording, or will it work with Filmic, the camera app, voice recorder, etc?

A: The free Rode Control app is required to use Rode's built-in features that allow you to record audio directly onto the Wireless Go II transmitters and to adjust the settings for the recorded files. But you can use the Wireless Go II as a standard wireless mic system to record the audio onto another device like a smartphone with the camera app, voice recorder, or Filmic app.

Q: 4. Does the built-in recording capability of the Rode transmitter make a separate digital audio recorder (such as Zoom) unnecessary, at least for less frequent and demanding work?

A: While the recording capabilities of the Rode Wireless GO II 2-Person Compact Digital Wireless Omni Lavalier Microphone System/Recorder Kit make it a candidate for standalone use, whether it is implemented in this manner depends on the workflow of the user and the intended end result. One major caveat for a scenario where the transmitters in this system serve as the only recorder is that the audio cannot be monitored while recording. An external recorder would allow for audio monitoring as well as more fine tuning of the recording parameters. If pairing with video, recording the audio into the camera from the receiver's output would also help with video sync/editing, etc.

Q: 5. Original Go will work with Go2?

A: The original Rode Wireless Go and Wireless Go II systems use different technology and their components do not communicate with each other, so at this time, they can not be combined to use in the same system. This may be a possibility in the future if updates can be created that will enable compatibility between the older and brand new components. While the components can not be combined for use as one system, you can operate the original Wireless Go system (transmitter and receiver) and the Wireless Go II system (two transmitters and dual-channel receiver) at the same time. So if you need to mic three people, you can use both systems independently on the same set.

Q: 6. Can i save the internally recorded files to my mobile phone on the go or do I need computer to transfer thr files

A: You will need a computer.

Q: 7. Can I plug a Dynamic Mic into the transmitter with an XLR-female to 3.5mm adapter? Would the levels work, or would it overload the unit? ie, SM58, adapter cable, Wireless GO II

A: The audio input signal would be too hot. Attenuation would be required.

Q: 8. Does this unit capture 32 bit float?

A: Rode will publish something soon to shed some light about the Record vs. Export file formats and how it relates to 32 bit float export.

Q: 9. Is this system expandable?

A: The Rode Wireless GO II Single 1-Person Compact Digital Wireless Omni Lavalier Microphone System/Recorder Kit comes with a single transmitter, but the Wireless GO II receiver does have two channels so it can be used with two transmitters. Rode does sell the Wireless GO II System with two transmitters, but at this time Rode does not offer the transmitter for purchase separately, so it is not possible to order a second transmitter and easily expand a system that was purchased with a single transmitter. For that reason it is best (and more economical) to purchase the system with two transmitters now if you will want to use it to record audio from two people. The other option is to purchase another complete Wireless GO II System later to accommodate a second person. The Rode Wireless GO II 2-Person Compact Digital Wireless Omni Lavalier Microphone System/Recorder Kit (B&H # ROWGIIK) is the same kit with two transmitters and two Rode Lavalier GO Microphones.

Q: 10. Is there an adaptor available to convert a sennheiser lav with screw locking system to standard 3.5mm trs connection for use with this Rode Wireless GO II?

A: The RODE representative listed the "Sennheiser CL 35 TRS" Cable as a solution, but that has two Male ends so it would only work if you also bought an adapter that has 3.5mm Locking Female Receptacles on both ends. To accomplish the task with just one adapter, you would need a 3.5mm Locking Female Adapter to 3.5mm Male Non-Locking. There are a couple of these listed on Bay, but they look rather cheap. I have not found a professional quality solution.
