The tan Countryman B6 Omnidirectional Lavalier for Zoom Recorders (Tan)is a miniature lavalier microphone measuring only 0.1" in diameter. It features a 3.5mm locking connector and connects to select Zoom recorders with audio on the left channel. The B6 microphone provides high-quality audio with low distortion at SPL up to 120 dB on 48V phantom power. The aramid cable combined with the ultra-thin diaphragm ensure low handling noise. And the tiny size combined with natural sound pickup make the microphone easy to position, for ambient noise and feedback rejection.

The included changeable protective caps (+0, +4, and +8 dB) provide moisture resistance, allowing you to adjust the frequency response to suit different applications or to match other microphones. Each of the three omni caps has a different high-frequency response characteristic that controls the amount of crispness or sibilance (response at 15 kHz). This microphone ships with the attached +4 dB protective cap that boosts the perceived amount of presence in your sound, while leaving the lower frequencies unchanged. You can switch to the 0 dB cap in case of problems with high-frequency feedback.

With low-handling noise and a rugged construction, the B6 microphone is a suitable choice for theater, broadcast, places of worship, and general lavalier applications.

Q: 6. Is there a converter from lemo to 3.5mm ?

A: No, B&H does not offer an adapter to convert the 3-pin LEMO connector to 3.5mm. As another option, you may want to consider using the Microdot version of the Shure TwinPlex TL48 which is the Shure TwinPlex TL48 Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone - Microdot, Tan (B&H # SHTL48TOMDOT). This would allow you to use the TL48 mic with a variety of Microdot adapters to enable compatibility with different wireless microphone transmitters. For 3.5mm, you could use the Deity Microphones DA35 Microdot to Locking 3.5mm Adapter - Black (B&H # DEDA35) and for 3-pin LEMO, you can use the Deity Microphones DA3L Microdot to 3-Pin LEMO Adapter (B&H # DEKSMDTDA3L).

Q: 7. 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: 8. 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: 9. The 3 different kinds of Hirose connection are selectable (DS, SO, and SY), and it says "see Description", yet the Description says nothing about these designations. Could you clarify?

A: Sorry for the confusion. Once you select a given connector, the second paragraph in the "overview section" will specify which transmitters they are compatible with. SN = Sony WRT-805A and UWP Series Transmitters DS = Sony DWT-B01 SO = Sony WRT-28, WRT-820A, or WRT-860A SY = Sony WRT-8B, WRT-420, or WRT-822B I hope this helps

Q: 10. Compatible w. both G2 and G3 transmitters - or is there maybe issues to be aware of?

A: Works as intended. Much better than the MKE-2.
