The black Countryman B6 Omni Lavalier Mic for Lectrosonics Transmittersfrom Countryman B6 Omni Lavalier Mic for Lectrosonics Transmittersis a very small lav microphone measuring one tenth of an inch in diameter with changeable protective caps, which provide moisture resistance and color options. The mic can be used to capture audio for theater, broadcast, churches, and general lavalier applications.

Built with a low handling noise and rugged construction, the B6 lavalier microphone can be easily hidden in hair or on costumes, or taped to a performer's face.

The B6's cable terminates to a waterproof 2.5mm connector for direct connection to a Lectrosonics MM200, MM400, MM400a, MM400b, or MM400c wireless bodypack transmitter.

Q: 4. No, Im sorry let me re-ask my question - I already have a UWP system and want to up grade to a Sony UTX-B40 Wireless Bodypack Transmitter. For one, the UTX series has a dual receiver meaning they can take in 2 frequencies, etc, UWPs need individual receivers for each transmitter, but the UTS series too, use TRS mic inputs, just like the UWP series, which can take the Sanken Cos-11 lavs. What would happen if I connected the TRS connector from the Cos-11D into a Sony UTX-B40 Wireless Bodypack Transmitter? Is the Cos11D exclusively for UWP series TRS connectors? (and Sennheisers?

A: This particular mic will work with the UTX-B40 transmitter. It will not work with Sennheiser.

Q: 5. A few reviews speak of the mic only working with G3/G4's when it is half plugged in. Is that due to buying the wrong 1/8 connector, ie for a differerent make of transmitter? Or is there a compatibility problem with the Cos11D and the Sennheiser EW range.

A: I see only one review posted for this mic where the customer noted a problem with connection to his Sennheiser transmitter. Without seeing both the mic and transmitter to evaluate, it is difficult to determine whether the issue may have been due to a defective mic or a problem with the transmitter. In general, the COS-11D is one of the most popular lavalier mics for various broadcast, film, and performance applications. This particular version of the COS-11D is wired for compatibility with Sennheiser transmitters such as the SK 100 G3 and G4 for the EW series wireless systems. Along with the manufacturer's warranty, B&H does have a 30-day policy for returns.

Q: 8. Since they don’t make a generic 3.5mm connector, can I cut off the Sony locking collar, and make it work on DSLR mic input?

The wiring scheme used by Sony differs from that used by most other companies, but the Sennheiser 3.5mm connector is considered universal for nearly all non-Sony devices.
