The tan 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 LEMO 3-pin connector for direct connection to a Sennheiser SK 2000 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.

Standard, for most uses.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. how many transmitters could i use with 1 receiver ?

A: This is a single receiver system that works with only one transmitter. If you require additional mics, then you would use full systems for each mic set to different frequencies.

Q: 2. If you bought two sets of this version of the XS kit, will the XLR receivers clear the XLR jacks and camera body of a Sony FS-7M2?

A: Due to the physical build of the Sony PXW-FS7M2 XDCAM body and the form factor of the Sennheiser XSW-D XLR MALE RX Plug-In Receiver, it does not appear that the receivers in the Sennheiser XSW-D LAVALIER SET Digital Wireless Omni Lavalier Microphone System will successfully mount to the XLR inputs on the PXW-FS7M2 camera.

Q: 3. If recorder is accidentally set to Phantom power (48V) can the receiver be damaged when using minijack to XLR Adaptor (Rode VXLR for instance) ?

A: Some devices will be okay and some will not. It is hard to know fr sure. For best results make sure to check that the power is turmed off.

Q: 4. 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: 5. Can you charge the transmitter or receiver while using it?

A: You can run this unit on USB power while in use. This will charger the battery during operation.

Q: 6. 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.

Q: 7. I got the dual person. It came with two XS Wireless packs. They both had the same frequency. How to chance one to a different frequency?

A: Changing frequency on the Sennheiser XSW 1 DUAL 2-Person Wireless Omni Lavalier Microphone System Kit can be initiated on the EM-XSW 1 Dual-Channel Stationary Receiver. First, press the Up/Down button on the specific receiver module you would like to change and select "Scan". Press the "Set" button next to activate this function, where the receiver will select an open channel. Next, power on your correlating transmitter and press the "Sync" button until the receiver's display flashes "SYNC". Finally, press the "Sync" button on the receiver to transfer the selected frequency to the transmitter. This process is described in further detail on page 11 of the system manual linked here: https://bhpho.to/3qHYANh

Q: 8. does the xlr transmitter work with the rode-NTG 2 ?

A: No, the XLR is the receiver.

Q: 9. Does this microphone come with an XLR cable? If no, what cable will I need to connect it to Canon XA40 Professional UHD 4K Camcorder?

A: It does not come with an XLR cable. You can either go into the 3.5mm mic input on the Canon XA40 Professional UHD 4K or use get this cable to use the XLR input. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1145659-REG/kopul_rsmxm_01_stereo_1_8_mini_male.html

Q: 10. The default sensitivity is -30. Is it recommended to put it higher to -15 or is -30 good? I am recording educational lectures in a studio space.

A: I would recommend doing a test recording with the mic starting off with the default sensitivity setting. Experiment with the settings as well as the positioning of the mic to find the combination that works best for you. When you do the test recordings, you can say which setting you are using for the sensitivity level and where the mic is placed. Just speak and record, and that way you can easily listen back and compare the audio clips without having to remember how everything was set up.
