A: This microphone need 48v and that only runs through XLR cables, the best thing to do in this case is to try to get the same microphone with a 3.5mm without a locking pin to work with the Rode Go systems.

Q: 2. Will this work on a RodeLink? It has the same connection, right?

A: The Countryman B3 Omnidirectional Lavalier Mic has a similar connection and does plug into the RodeLink, however it does move around and not lock in totally.

Q: 3. Will this MicroDot connector use with my DPA Microphones DAD6001 Microdot to 3-Pin XLR Adapter with Belt Clip ?

A: Yes, the Countryman B3 Omni Lavalier Mic, Standard Sens, with Microdot Adapter for Sennheiser Wireless Transmitters can be used with the DPA Microphones DAD6001 Microdot to 3-Pin XLR Adapter with Belt Clip instead of using the included Microdot Adapter for Sennheiser.

Q: 4. Can I use the Countryman B3 connected to a sony uwp-d11?

Q: 6. Will this microphone work with the Zoom H1? Thanks.

A: I hooked a sanken cos-11d that is wired for Sennheiser transmitters up to a small sony hand recorder that has similar connections to the Zoom H1. This worked fine, except that the audio was coming in on the left channel only. If that doesn't bug you then I think I can tentatively say it should work. But you might want to get the B3 with normal sensitivity as this one has headroom, read as a bit of a pad. i.e. if the subject whispers, you might not hear it on this mic unless you turn the gain way up.

Q: 7. Will this lav work with a Tascam DRL-10?

A: Yes it will. They have the same connector.

Q: 8. Can this survive harsh water sports like whitewater kayaking?

A: Yes, the B3 was designed to be water-resistant and it can be used for water sports as well as for reporting during a hurricane, it should survive water water kayaking.

Q: 9. Can it be plugged in Tascam DR-40 without any additional adapters ?

A: No additional adapters are needed to plug this into a DR-40.

Q: 10. does this work with the zoom h1?

A: No it will not work with the Zoom H1 since this microphone has a XLR connection and the H1 does not. I use this mic with a ZOOM H5 and it works great.
