The black Countryman B6 Omni Lavalier Mic for Azden Wireless Transmittersfrom Countryman B6 Omni Lavalier Mic for Azden 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.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. How well does this system work with GoPro?

A: Hello Jonathan. Thank you for your inquiry in regards to the WLX-PRO+i VHF Wireless Lavalier Microphone System. This system is best suited for use with DSLR and mirrorless cameras, as well as mobile devices (using the included TRRS adapter cable). For GoPro filming, you wouldn't need the +i version of this kit, but merely just the regular WLX-PRO. If you still want the flexibility to record video with a mobile device in the future, you can purchase this kit and just omit the adapter cable when filming with GoPro. However, we do recommend our PRO-XD 2.4GHz Digital Wireless Microphone System when choosing to shoot with a GoPro, as that system has a more compact form factor and adjustable gain from the receiver going into your camera. We hope this information helps in your decision and thank you for choosing Azden!
