The cocoa Countryman B6 Omni Lavalier Mic for Telex Wireless Transmittersfrom Countryman B6 Omni Lavalier Mic for Telex 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 TA4F connector for direct connection to a Telex LT100, PST16, VB12, WT10, WT50, WT55, WT60, WT80, WT500, WT700, or WT1000 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.

Q: 4. I am new to audio recording. I heard this requires phantom power. is phantom power the same for most audio recorders? Specifically, I have a Zoom H6. would all I need to do to make the Countryman lapel work is turn on Phantom Power? Or does it require another purchase to give it power?

Q: 5. Would this mic also be acceptable to clip on an on-camera interview subject? Others in this $ range seem to only be omni mics.

A: A hypercardioid lavalier such as the Countryman Isomax 2 would not be a typical choice for dialogue, because the tight polar pattern can result in dropouts if the subject turns their head or otherwise shifts in position. For this reason, omnidirectional or cardioid lavaliers would usually be preferred.

Q: 6. This mic has a 4 pin mini xlr female connector. I was told to get Shure RPM626 pre amp for this, but is there a 4 pin xlr mini male to male xlr cable?

A: We do not have a cable with the connectors you need, but please be aware that a cable with the right connectors does not replace the need for using a preamp which the RPM626 does include.
