The tan Countryman B6 Lavalier for Zoom Recorders, Omnidirectional, Tanis 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 and right channels. 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.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Would this works with a Zaxcom Trx900lt?

A: The correct one for your zaxcom is catalog number B3W4FF05BZX. If you can’t find it online, you can call in to order it over the phone.

Q: 2. Will this work with a Olympus digital recorder that has a 3.5mm input? By this I also wonder does it have that screw type thing for the wireless transmitter or without one as I need one without the screw type piece so it fits nicely?

A: The Countryman B3 for TOA transmitters features a mono 1/8 jack with locking screw connector. There is currently no B3 available designed for use with a portable recorder.

Q: 3. Can you recommend a transmitter/receiver to go with the countryman mic?

A: This is an XLR mic and meant to be plugged directly into a camera or mixer or recorder. If you are wanting to purchase the B3 for a wireless situation (which is a different model) I'd recommend spending as much money as you can (like a Lectrosonic or Shure). The more expensive models are totally worth the money you'd spend.

Q: 4. What's the sound quality compared to the sennheiser mke-2?

A: The MKE-2 out-performs the B3 in its sound quality, noise and SPL specs.

Q: 5. 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.

Q: 6. Which one do you prefer B3 or B6?

A: It truly depends on your application. A B6 is great when you need to hide it into clothing or a wig for theater and show productions. B3's great for most standard applications such as interviews, plant mics, etc.

Q: 7. 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: 8. is it good for Rode Wireless GO ?

A: No this lavalier microphone comes with a 3.5mm locking pin made for Sennheiser wireless systems, a lavalier to use with the Rode Wireless Go needs to have a 3.5mm without a locking pin for a good connection without any noises.

Q: 9. Can I use the Countryman B3 connected to a Sennheiser AVX Wireless set? I would buy this instead of the more expensive MKE2

A: Yes, with the Sennheiser plug it will work. You'll have to adjust the sensitivity as it may be different from the mic you used on the transmitter before, but that's easy enough.

Q: 10. Does it work with de UWP- D11?

A: Yes it does.
