The white Countryman B6 Omni Lavalier Mic, Low Sens, 3.5mm Locking Connectorfrom Countryman B6 Omni Lavalier Mic, Low Sens, 3.5mm Locking Connectoris a very small lav microphone measuring one tenth of an inch in diameter. It can be used to capture audio for theater, broadcast, house of worship, and general lavalier applications.

This version is the least sensitive mic and a good choice for instrument applications, opera, or where the microphone will be positioned very near the mouth. Built with a low handling noise and rugged construction, the B6 lavalier microphone can be easily hidden in a performer's hair or on costumes, ties, or behind a shirt button. It can also be attached to eyeglasses, for a secure, discreet, and convenient alternative to hair miking. The ultrathin diaphragm deliver a natural sound while its tiny size makes the B6 easy to position for ambient noise and feedback rejection. The B6's aramid-reinforced cable terminates to a 3.5mm locking connector for direct connection to Azden older 10BT and 41BT wireless bodypack transmitters.

Additionally, the included swappable protective caps let you shape the frequency response for different situations or to match other microphones. The B6 is resistant to makeup, sweat, and moisture when used with a protective cap, which 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.

Very low, mic near user's mouth.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Will this lav and adapter work with the Sennheiser XSW-D portable lav set?

A: Yes it will, specifically since it has the adapter meant for Sennheiser systems.

Q: 2. What is the Signal to Noise Ratio?

A: The manufacturer has not provided a specification for the signal to noise ratio of the Sennheiser ME 4 Cardioid Lavalier Microphone, but they have provided the equivalent noise level (self noise), which is rated at 31 dB.

Q: 3. Does this lavalier come with a 3.5 mm to microdot adapter? Or is the 3.5 mm jack built in? Thanks!

A: BH #DEDTS0253D63 comes with a locking 3.5mm connector.

Q: 4. Will this Lav work with the HOLLYLAND LARK MAX?

A: No, because of the locking thread on the connector for the Sennheiser ME4, this can interfere with the connection to the non-locking input, so they may not make a proper connection. You can use a mic like the Saramonic SR-M1 Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone Cable with 3.5mm TRS Connector (B&H # SASRM1) or the Shure MOTIV MVL Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone (B&H # SHMVL35MM).

Q: 5. Will this work with rode wireless go system?

A: The Sennheiser ME 4 Cardiod Lavalier Microphone has a locking 3.5mm TRS connector and the mic input on the RODE Wireless GO II transmitter uses a standard, non-locking 3.5mm connector, so the mic will connect, but it will not latch to the input on the transmitter for a completely secure connection.

Q: 6. Is this adequate for live singing in a nightclub environment?

A: I might not typically recommend a lavalier for use in this type of scenario (usually a low-profile earset mic would be preferable), but the Sennheiser ME 4's cardioid pickup pattern means that it will perform better in noisy environments than most omnidirectional lavaliers. If it is a choice between this and an omni lav, I would probably go with this. If an earset like BH #SEUE15535HBE is an option however, I would go with the earset. In noisy environments, the closer you can get the mic to your mouth the less background noise and feedback will be an issue.

Q: 7. is this compatible with SMV super miniature wireless mircrophone transmitter?

A: Yes, it is compatible.

Q: 8. Will this work with the Deity Theos?

A: Yes, the Deity Theos will accept the Sennheiser ME 4 Cardioid Lavalier Microphone with Locking 3.5mm Connector (Black) (B&H # SEME4).

Q: 9. Is compatible with Sony UWP line?

A: Even though Sony uses the same 3.5mm locking connection, their wireless systems use a different wiring scheme, so this connector would not work with the Sony UWP transmitter. Diety currently does not make a Microdot adapter for Sony systems.

Q: 10. Could this work with a Deity PR2 or a Zoom h1n, or do those not supply enough power?

A: Yes, the Sennheiser ME 4 Cardioid Lavalier Microphone with Locking 3.5mm Connector (Black) is fully compatible with the Deity Microphones PR-2 32-Bit Float Pocket Audio Recorder as well as the Zoom H1n 2-Input / 2-Track Portable Handy Recorder with Onboard X/Y Microphone.
