The light beige B6 Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone, Standard Sensitivity, with Hardwired 3.5mm Locking 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 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 Sennheiser SK 2020-D 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.

Q: 4. Can I plug this into my iphone using an adapter to play audio through instagram? If so, what do I need?
A: Yes, you can connect the ew 112P wireless system to your iPhone using a Lightning adapter. The Saramonic LC-C35 Locking 3.5mm Connector to Apple-Certified Lightning Output Cable (B&H # SALCC35) is a single-cable solution that can be connect to the receiver's output jack and directly into the iPhone's Lightning port.

Q: 5. I have this item, is there any way to use this wired? That is, to avoid the need to use batteries for non-moving, studio usage, drawing power from a mixing table for example?
A: If you were to purchase BH #SEMZA900P, this preamp would allow you to connect the lapel mic included with the wireless system to it, and wire it directly to a mixer via an XLR connection.
Q: 6. I just purchased 2 Sennheiser EW 112P G4 systems. When both of them are plugged into separate channels on my camera, there is a distinct hiss. It only happens when I plug them both in. When it's just one, the hiss goes away. They are on different frequencies. Any suggestions? Thanks!
A: Typically this has to do with the mic preamp inside the camera because it is built so close to the rest of the circuitry in the camera it generates a noise floor or background hiss.
Q: 7. Which set of frequencies might be best for the Hudson Valley region of New York from Westchester to Albany?
A: The A band would be best for the EW112PG4 system. BH #SEEW112PG4A.
Q: 8. What is antenna diversity? I'm looking for what I call "true" diversity - multiple receive antennas.
A: "If you glance at the Sennheiser EK 100 receiver, you only see one antenna. However, if you write it off as a non-diversity system, you are mistaken. The EK 100 features a technology called “adaptive diversity,” which utilizes the connected output cable as the second antenna, making it a diversity receiver. By using the ground connection of its output as the link to a second antenna, it provides improved reception and reliability" Taken from "Understanding the Basics of Sennheiser G3 Camera-Mount Wireless Systems" https://www.bhphotovideo.com/explora/pro-audio/hands-on-review/understanding-the-basics-of-sennheiser-g3-camera-mount-wireless-systems.
