The tan Countryman B6 Omni Lavalier Mic for Audio-Technica Wireless Transmittersfrom Countryman B6 Omni Lavalier Mic for Audio-Technica 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 Hirose 4-pin connector for direct connection to an Audio-Technica ATW-T35, ATW-T75, ESW-T211, ATW-T601, ATW-T701, AEW-T1000, AEW-T1000a, or ATW-T1001 wireless bodypack transmitter for use with 600 Series, 700 Series, 1000 Series, 1200 Series, 4000 Series, 5000 Series, 7000 Series, or System 10 wireless systems.

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.

Standard, for most uses.

Q: 1. I use a Canon XA10 video camera and will be doing video shots in crowded cocktail bars. I need to find a good lavalier microphone system. I hear that the 2.4GHz is better that the UHF. Yeah? Also, I will usually be needing mics on 2 people as they'll be in the shots at the same time. (Maybe sometimes 3 people!) It seems this system is made for only 1 mic per camera?... I'm a bit new to all this, as you might be able to tell! I'd appreciate any advice or guidance. Thanks!

A: Of my 4 wireless mics the AT System 10 is the best. My other 3 mics (Sony) are analog and use the same freq band as some family radios in the US and of some world phones in Europe and Middle East. I got a lot of interference there. I only use 1 mic but I think that the same receiver can pick up several. I would wholeheartedly recommend The System 10.

Q: 2. I already have a Rode PinMic that I use with a Zoom H1 for maximum discreetness when shooting weddings. Will the PinMic work with this system, or should I make sure to get the audio-technica lavalier?

A: the mic attaches by a unique to AT .. to my frustration my sony mics and sure mics will not work.Also odd with this system is the the the receiver uses 2 aa batteries (normal) the tranmitter pack must be recharged. (weird to me) I bought it for the neat antenna but I'd stick with Sony or Sure in the future. hope that helps. Pete

Q: 3. Can I use it while it is charging?

A: Yes

Q: 4. Can this be used without a camera? Can I record direct to my Mac using an Adobe Audition or Garage Band type application?

A: Yes if you have the adapter or interface for the Apple plug. I use the Tascam iXZ for Apple. You will also need an adapter to make it a 1/4 plug.

Q: 5. Would this Audio Technical System 10 work well with Sony A7S?

A: Yes. Any camera that has an 1/8th inch stereo mic input. Keep in mind the input level adjustment is in an odd place under the battery hood. It can typically be left all the way up unless you are experiencing distortion. Otherwise you have to remove the battery hood and adjust it with this little tool. It has never been an issue for me, but just a heads up.

Q: 6. I understand that this system does not allow two transmitters for the one receiver. What are my options if I want to have two mica going? It sounds like I need a receiver for every transmitter. So do I just get a y adapter and go right into camera or do I need a mixer? Mind you Ill be mobile and outside for most of my shooting. Appreciate the help.

A: The System 10 Camera mount system has a multi-pairing function that can be used to link a single receiver with up to eight System 10 body-pack or handheld transmitters. Hope this helps...

Q: 7. Would I be able to use a different mic than the included Lav? What kind of adapter would be required for a mic with XLR output? It would be used with a fixed mic on a stand about 90 feet line of sight from the receiver. Sound would only be for camera sync.

A: You are NOT limited to just the included lav. There are several other mic options available including a cardioid lav AT898CW which I use, and a hand held cardioid with built-in transmitter designed for the System 10 reciever.You can also get (or make) adapters to connect XLR to the AT 4-pin with the right wiring. note that the impedence of some mics will match better than others.

Q: 8. Can you show a picture of the female pin connections and the numbers on them?

A: We do not have a wiring scematic: Terminated for Shure wireless systems using TA4F-type connector. 55 (1.4 m) cable

Q: 9. Is there a way to replace the receiver battery? I own this nice wireless system for about two years now and it started to drain fast...

A: Please contact Audio-Technica at 330-686-2600 to see about changing the rechargeable batteries in your wireless system.

Q: 10. So what you're saying is the receiver has an internal battery that will need to be recharged? So it's useless until charged? Is the li-ion battery replaceable on the receiver? Please say it is.

A: This transmitter runs on 2x 1.5 V AA (not included). Standard alkaline or rechargeable AA cells may be used. The receiver portion includes a 3.7V rechargeable Li-ion battery that must be charged prior to use. it is not user replaceable.
