The tan B6 Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone, Standard Sensitivity, with Hardwired 3.5mm Locking Connector for Olympus, Roland, Sony, Tascam, Yamaha, or Zoom Portable Recorders 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 Olympus, Roland, Sony, Tascam, Yamaha, or Zoom DM-420, DM-520, DM-620, DS-2400, DS-40, DS-51, DS-61, DS-71, LS-10, LS-14, R05, R09HR, PCM-D50, PCM-M10, DR-05, DR-07mkII, DR-08, PR-10, Pocketrak C24, Pocketrak W24, H1, H2, and H2n portable recorders.

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. Can I use a Countryman B3 microphone with a Mini 1/8 (3.5mm) Locking Connector made for Sennheiser transmitters?

A: We agree with Daniel S.Thank you for your interest in TASCAM products.

Q: 2. I set the gain to the highest setting. In your experience what is the best setting when recording vows from weddings?

A: I typically use the medium setting, and then have it in Dual record mode.

Q: 3. how long is the cable on the lav mic that comes with it?

A: It is approximately 60"-65"

Q: 4. Why is the sound quality on this WORSE than the internal mic of my Sony A7rIII for distance recordings? I love recorder, but do I need a different mic?

A: The mic that comes with the DR10L is better than the on-board camera mic. It is essentially a copy of a Sennheiser ME2, which is a pretty nice mic. You can upgrade, just make sure that whatever you do upgrade to is wired for Sennheiser (which is the same as this Tascam).

Q: 5. How easily can settings be changed accidentally by talent using it (or recording be stopped!)?? That seems like a huge risk since there's no way to monitor it while shooting. (Not to mention noises from clothes, etc)Can it be locked or something?

A: The DR-10L features a recessed power+recording start/stop switch that would be very difficult to stop by accident. To power up the DR-10L the power switch must be pressed and held in the Power On direction for a few seconds, and the recording/stop recording functions are operated in the same manner. While your assertion about the risk due to lack of monitoring is plausible, in my particular application (live wedding events) it is nearly impossible to correct audio issues like noises from clothes or other intermittent interruptions since the event cannot be stopped. That being said, having redundant high-quality audio capture with inexpensive devices like the DR-10L and additional ambient sound recorders has been a better fix than trying to depend on one or two devices that I would otherwise think to be bulletproof.

Q: 6. When I take out the battery, do I lose the settings that I have already chosen?

A: No

Q: 7. If a DJ wants to mic up a pastor for a wedding ceremony with a lav. And I wish to also mic up the pastor for the ceremony with this lav, do I need to worry about interference? I was under the impression that since this records on an SD there should be no interference.

A: No, you should not have any issues with interference while recording with the Tascam DR-10L and another lavalier microphone, whether it is wireless or wired. It is also possible to use two separate wireless lavalier microphone systems at the same time without issues, depending on the frequency band that each system operates within. Please contact us by phone or through live chat on the website if you have additional questions or need further assistance.
