The beige Countryman B6 Omni Lavalier Mic for Lectrosonics Transmittersfrom Countryman B6 Omni Lavalier Mic for Lectrosonics 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 TA5F connector for direct connection to a Lectrosonics IM, LM, UM100, UM190, UM190b, UM195b, UM200, UM200b, UM200c, UM250b, UM250c, or UM400 wireless bodypack transmitter.

Additionally, swappable protective caps let you shape the frequency response for different situations or match other microphones.

Q: 1. Sound devices a20

A: This Sanken COS-11D Omni Lavalier Microphone with Normal Sensitivity & LEMO 3-Pin Connector for Wisycom Transmitters may not work with the Sound Devices A20-Mini Digital Wireless Bodypack Transmitter and Recorder (B&H # SOA20MINI). The A20-Mini can be used with microphones that have a LEMO 3-pin connector wired for compatibility with Sennheiser transmitters such as the Sanken COS-11D Omni Lavalier Microphone with Normal Sensitivity & LEMO 3-Pin Connector for Sennheiser Transmitters (B&H # SAC11ANSELBE), which is the same microphone with the appropriate wiring configuration.

Q: 2. Can the Sanken Cos 11d be plugged directly into a camera, specifically the Panasonic G85? If not, what is a high end lav mic you would recommend that could be used like this?

A: The Sanken Cos 11D comes in a variety ends. If your's ends in a 1/8 TRS then it will fit into your camera. I plugged mine into a Nikon D610 and it worked fine. I was surprised, because I thought it would require phantom power. Maybe the Nikon supplies that. I even tried using a 1/8 TRS 10 foot extension cable with a barrel connector to allow for normal distance of interviewing someone. It still worked.

Q: 3. Do I need servo bias for Lectro SMQV?

A: Yes, the Lectrosonics SMQV Transmitter does have Servo Bias input, so you can use the Sanken COS-11D Omni Lavalier Microphone with Normal Sensitivity & Servo-Bias TA5F Connector for Lectrosonics Transmitters - with Accessories, Black (B&H # SAC11WNLSMB) instead of the Sanken COS-11D Omni Lavalier Microphone with Normal Sensitivity & Non-Servo TA5F Connector for Lectrosonics Transmitters (with Accessories, Black).

Q: 4. Do Sanken COS-11D for Sennheiser Evo work with other Wireless Transmitters like SONY, Lectrosonics etc.?

A: The 3.5mm connector for Sennheiser will not work with SONY or Lectrosonics- the connector wiring is different for these, so the connector would need to be re-wired to work.

Q: 5. Does this mic require phantom power to be on?

A: The Sanken COS-11D Lavalier Microphone requires 3 to 10V of DC power which is typically considered plug-in power. However, depending on the type of connector that is used for the mic and the device it is connecting to, phantom power may be used with along with a power converter to bring the voltage down from 48V to the appropriate amount of plug-in power.

Q: 6. Will this work with the Sony UTX transmitters?

Q: 7. Will it work with Zoom F1 Field Recorder?

A: Yes

Q: 8. Will this work with the Rode Wireless Pro?

A: The Rode Wireless Pro transmitter provides 3.3V of plug-in power and the Sanken COS-11D requires at least 3V to operate. The Rode Wireless Pro transmitter mic input is also compatible with 1/8'' TRS Sennheiser style connectors. In light of this, the Sanken COS-11D with 1/8'' TRS Sennheiser style connector will work with the Rode Wireless Pro system.

Q: 9. Have TASCAM DR-10 -- Will this work and what is the name of the locking connector I need?

A: This Sanken COS-11D microphone comes with a 1/8 TRS locking connector (it screws onto the wireless transmitter so it stays secure). It is advertised for the Sennheiser G3 transmitters but looking at the Tascam DR-10 it appears to have the same 1/8 TRS plug, so it should work fine.

Q: 10. Has anyone used it with the new RODE Wireless Go system? I am wondering if it would work and if there would be any loss in the quality of the sound compared with the Sennheiser systems...

A: You can use a COS11-D with the Rode Wireless Go system, but you will need a version of the mic with a standard non-locking 3.5mm TRS connector, as the transmitter for the Wireless Go does not use the same locking connector that Sennheiser and the other Rode wireless systems such as the Filmmaker Kit require. The Wireless Go is designed with standard 3.5mm connectors on the transmitter's mic input and receiver output, and intended to be very easy to use for general consumers.
