The cocoa Countryman B6 Lavalier Mic for Tascam Recorders & Mid Gainfrom Countryman B6 Lavalier Mic for Tascam Recorders & Mid Gainis a miniature lavalier microphone measuring only 0.1" in diameter. It features a 3.5mm locking connector and connects to select Tascam recorders with audio on left and right channels. The B6 microphone provides high-quality audio with low distortion at SPL up to 130 dB on 48V phantom power. The aramid cable, combined with the ultra-thin diaphragm, ensures low handling noise. The tiny size, combined with natural sound pickup, makes the microphone easy to position for ambient noise and feedback rejection.

The included changeable protective caps (+0, +4, and +8 dB) provide moisture resistance and allow 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 +4 dB protective cap attached, which 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 when using this microphone with high-frequency feedback.

Q: 1. will this recharge AA battery cells also? can it recharge or use AA battery cells if they are less than 6xAA, i mean pair of 2xAA or 4xAA battery pack rechargeable cells?

A: The BP-6AA is designed to house 6AA batteries either alkaline or Ni-MH and provide external power to several of Tascams digital recorders. There is no charging capabilities in this unit.

Q: 2. How long will this last on the Tascam DR-100mkii on Phantom Power mode?

Q: 3. Has anyone else had trouble with this shutting down power output? With 6 NiMH's measuring as good in my tester, this battery pack cuts off within a second. And with 6 NEW alkalis, it cut off feeding power within 14 minutes today on a shoot. In later testing, (6 more NEW alkalis), at 14 minutes, the BP-6AA started blinking red-green.
