The black Countryman B3 Omni Lavalier Mic for DWT Wireless Transmittersfrom Countryman B3 Omni Lavalier Mic for DWT Wireless Transmittersis a water-resistant, miniature lavalier microphone for capturing high-quality audio. It can be used in a variety of applications such as a tie-clip lavalier in interviews, a hair-hidden mic for drama, a water-resistant mic for water sports and hurricane reporting, or simply a small mic to hide in a prop flower vase.

The B3 capsule is resistant to moisture (IP67), which allows for placement in the hair or on bare skin, and its omnidirectional polar pattern minimizes handling noise, wind noise, and plosives (popping). Furthermore, a variety of skin-matching colors are available. This B3's cable terminates to a 4-pin Hirose connector for direct connection to DWT-B01, DWT-G01, DWT-S01, and DWT-V01 Sony wireless bodypack transmitters Additionally, a carrying case, two cable clips, a windscreen, and three protective caps are also included.

Looks great when you want to see it, virtually disappears when you don't. The B3 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 B3 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 B3 provides high-quality audio with low distortion at SPL up to 140 dB for wireless applications. 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 B3 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.

Low, head miking for theater.

Q: 1. i think if you dont have now this mic, you have to delete selling list. this is very uncomfortable..?

A: This version of the COS-11D for Sony wireless transmitters is available by special order only. We do not have it available in stock.

Q: 2. I have bought this mic and when plugged into my Sennheiser EW-G3 transmitter I get no signal at all, is there a setting I need to change? The transmitter works with ME-2 Mic, recording to a Zoom H6. Thank

A: Hi. This mic is great but comes with some strange and quite dealbreaking features. I sent my first one back due to a high pulsating noise that it created along with very low input volume. Got a new one and same thing. I'm paring it with a Sennheiser G3 unit and a zoom H6 as well and just by chance I notised that I had perfect sound when pulling the plug out of the G3 transmitter a millimiter or so. If you stick it all the way in, it wont work. Obviously this is crap and I'm only using it when I have a subject that I know will be pretty much completely still and I always have to fibble around with it for a while but then again, It produces greeeeat sound for a Lav. /Marcus

Q: 3. No, Im sorry let me re-ask my question - I already have a UWP system and want to up grade to a Sony UTX-B40 Wireless Bodypack Transmitter. For one, the UTX series has a dual receiver meaning they can take in 2 frequencies, etc, UWPs need individual receivers for each transmitter, but the UTS series too, use TRS mic inputs, just like the UWP series, which can take the Sanken Cos-11 lavs. What would happen if I connected the TRS connector from the Cos-11D into a Sony UTX-B40 Wireless Bodypack Transmitter? Is the Cos11D exclusively for UWP series TRS connectors? (and Sennheisers?

A: This particular mic will work with the UTX-B40 transmitter. It will not work with Sennheiser.

Q: 4. 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: 5. Will this work with Sennheiser AVX?

A: It should work just fine assuming you are using a 1/8 locking connector for the bodypack.

Q: 6. 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: 7. Will this work with the Lectrosonics 200 series as well?

A: Yes, the Sanken COS-11D Omni Lavalier Microphone with Normal Sensitivity & Servo-Bias TA5F Connector for Lectrosonics Transmitters will work with Lectrosonics 200 series transmitters that use a TA5 input connector.

Q: 8. Why isn't this available with a microdot connector? I have both a Sony wireless system and a Shure.

A: The Sanken COS-11D lavalier microphone is not offered with a microdot connector because such a version is not made by Sanken.

Q: 9. Will this work with a Sennheiser G3 receiver/transmitter set?

A: Yes. This mic will work with the Sennheisser G3.

Q: 10. Is this the same connector that will fit the sennheiser G3 transmitter?

A: This Sanken COS-11D (MFR# COS-11D-HWM-TRS-BE) has the correct wiring for the Sennheiser Evolution wireless G3; trs 3.5mm male locking connector.
