The white Countryman B6 Omni Lavalier Mic for Sennheiser Wireless Transmittersfrom Countryman B6 Omni Lavalier Mic for Sennheiser Wireless 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 aramid cable and ultra-thin diaphragm deliver a natural sound while its tiny size makes the B6 easy to position for ambient noise and feedback rejection. The B6's cable terminates to a Microdot connector for direct connection to a Sennheiser SK 2012 wireless bodypack transmitter.

Additionally, swappable protective caps let you shape the frequency response for different situations or match other microphones. The B6 microphone is resistant to makeup, sweat, and moisture when used with the supplied protective caps. These caps 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.

Low, head miking for theater.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Can the receiver unit receive two simultaneous channels or can it only receive from one transmitter at a time?

A: No it can’t. In the features it clearly says: “Multi-pairing lets you quickly switch between multiple transmitters linked to one receiver (note that only one transmitter can broadcast to one receiver at a time)”

Q: 2. Will this work with the Fuji X-H1 camera?

A: It will, however, the camera has a 2.5mm sub-mini mic input, which is not usual, so you will need to use a different output cable than is supplied with the kit: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/851851-REG/Beachtek_SC25_SC25_3_5mm_to_2_5mm.html

Q: 3. Could the XLR receiver be plugged into an audio recorder such as the Zoom H5 or H6 to record audio from the mic?

A: Yes, this can be connected to a field recorder with an XLR input.

Q: 4. Does this kit include the hotshoe mount adapter to mount the receiver to the hotshoe of the camera?

A: No it doesn’t. The receiver on this particular kit is with the XLR male which is meant to be plugged into an XLR source such as mixing boards or even cameras with an XLR input. Since it’s plugged into the XLR, a separate mounting isn’t needed not possible. There are various other camera kits with a mini output which do come with shoe mount adapters.

Q: 5. Can I use this model with Canon XA40 Professional UHD 4K Camcorder?

A: Yes your camera has a 3.5mm mic input where you can connect the Sennheiser XSW into with the 3.5mm cable included with this wireless mic system. yes can use this model with your Canon any question fell free to Video Chat Pro Audio Thank you.

Q: 6. Does this have a application that you could stream audio to a phone for Facebook or Instagram Live?

A: No it does not have an application. You can use a Rode SC4 adapter to connect it to your smartphone and it would over rule the internal microphone on your smartphone. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1048151-REG/rode_sc4_trs_to_trrs_adaptor.html

Q: 7. Where is this made? Asia or Germany?

A: Made in Romania

Q: 8. Is it possible to get an additional hot shoe attachment?

A: The XSW-D hot shoe mount for the receiver is available as a separate part through Sennheiser. You can reach Sennheiser by phone at (877) 736-6434.

Q: 9. How does one judge the quality of audio relayed from transmitter to receiver? Wondering in context of wanting to connect a field recorder (using stereo mini jack) to TX unit

A: Usually the first thing we look at is frequency response, which is how low (bass) and high (treble) it can produce. Typically 20 Hz to 20 kHz is considered full frequency response. The frequency response on this system is 80 Hz to 18 kHz, which is really not bad considering that the human voice is not going to get down any where near 20 Hz, and when you experience background noise it manifests in the lower frequencies, and you would engage a HPF (High Pass Filter) to eliminate the lower frequencies. We'll also take into consideration the SPL (Sound Pressure Level) that the microphone can handle before distorting. The mic that comes with this system can handle 120 dB SPL, which is very good. Another consideration is latency, which is how long it takes for the signal to travel from transmitter to receiver, and this system has less than 4 millisecond latency, which is imperceptible.

Q: 10. If this is used with a 32-bit recorder such as the tascam x8 or zoom f6, will the clipping be fixable in post?

A: It is very difficult to clip a 32-bit converter, but it is still possible to overload a mic capsule if you surpass the SPL it is designed for. A 32-bit recorder won't help with this, and if you somehow do clip the ADC on the way in it won't help with that either, but it does make clipping extremely unlikely due to the amount of headroom it gives you. If you are routinely running into problems with clipping during recording, or if there is no one on hand to adjust levels on the fly, a 32-bit recorder can be a game changer.
