The black B6 Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone, Standard Sensitivity, with Hardwired 3.5mm Locking Connector for Happie Amp or Empower Sound 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 offers the highest gain for general speaking such as in presentations or sermons. 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 3.5mm locking connector for direct connection to Happie Amp or Empower Sound Happie Amp and Amazing Amp 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.

Looks great when you want to see it, virtually disappears when you don't. The B6 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 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.
Standard, for most uses.
Related Questions and Answers
Q: 1. Wil it work with a Sennheiser ME 4 Cardioid Lavalier Microphone with Locking 3.5mm Connector ? Will it provide voltage ?
A: The input on the Rode Wireless GO II transmitter is standard 3.5mm TRS non-locking connector. The transmitter will supply the appropriate voltage (plug-in power) that the mic requires to function. However, the Sennheiser ME 4 uses a 3.5mm TRS locking connector which may not attach properly to the transmitter since its input is not threaded like those on Sennheiser wireless transmitters and the mic's locking ring has no thread to lock onto.
Q: 2. Does anyone know if it will work with the sennheiser ME2?
A: The Vampire Clip opening is custom fit to the Cos-11 and it fits very tight. I do believe the Sennheiser ME2 is a bit wider, you need to check dimensions. The opening on the vampire clip is 4mm or 3/16
Q: 3. 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.
Q: 4. How can the audio be saved? Is there a slot on the receiver for an sd card?
A: Its built in you have to use the app to retrieve the audio recorded
Q: 5. Can I use this as lav for live sound?
A: Yes. It is an Omni-Directional Microphone, so appropriate caution near speakers is required.
Q: 6. Are you able to mute the individual Transmitters via the Receiver or App?
A: Yes you can directly from the transmitter
Q: 7. Can these mics be used with a Canon XA-20 or a Canon HF-G30? Are there different adapters needed for each?
A: Yes, the Rode Wireless GO II Microphone System can be used with the Canon XA20 and Canon HF-G30 Cameras. The Wireless GO II comes with a 3.5mm TRS male to 3.5mm TRS male cable that can be used to connect the receiver directly to the 3.5mm mic input on the HF-G30. Since the XA20 has XLR inputs, you can use a cable like the Kopul Stereo Right-Angle 1/8" Male Mini-Jack to XLR Male Cable - 1.5' (B&H # KORSMXM015).
Q: 8. What quality Lav mics can be used with this system? Sennheiser locking ones need an adpater- can someone post a SKU/Product for that adapter? Or some alternatives to the Rode ones which are on back order
A: You can use any 1/8'' microphone that requires mic plugin power like B&H # TRTR50BNLSET or B&H # MIMSLM
Q: 9. How do I pair this with the receiver I have?
A: To pair your RODE Wireless GO II TX Transmitter/Recorder for Wireless GO II System with your RODE receiver, press and hold the power button on the receiver so it turns on, then press and hold the power button on your transmitter so it turns on. Once the transmitter is powered on, it will automatically pair with the receiver. This process should take a few seconds. If you are using two transmitters, pair them one at a time. Pair the first one, leave it on, the power on the second transmitter so it will pair with the receiver using a different frequency.
Q: 10. What is the best way to connect the receiver to a camera with XLR audio inputs? (One without mini plug audio input?
A: You can use a stereo mini to dual XLR cable like the Hosa Technology Pro Stereo Breakout Cable - 3.5mm Stereo Mini to Dual 3-Pin XLR Male - 3' (B&H # HOHMX003Y) to connect to both of the camera's inputs or use the Kopul Stereo Right-Angle 1/8" Male Mini-Jack to XLR Male Cable - 1.5' (B&H # KORSMXM015) to connect the receiver to a single XLR input.
