The cocoa Countryman B3 Omni Lavalier Mic with TA5F Connector for Wireless Transmittersfrom Countryman B3 Omni Lavalier Mic with TA5F Connector for 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 TA5F connector for direct connection to IM, LM, UM100, UM110, UM190, UM190b, UM195b, UM200, UM200b, UM200c, UM250b, UM250c, UM300b, UM400, and UM500 Lectrosonics 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.

Standard, for most uses.

Q: 5. Can you use this for live streaming to Facebook?

A: The Movo Photo EDGE-DI Digital Wireless Omni Lavalier Microphone System for iPhones can be used as an external audio source for iPhones. Whether it can be implemented as the audio source for Facebook Live depends on the capabilities of the iOS version used on the phone and how it correlates to Facebook's own Live settings. In theory, it should work, but there seem to be many common issues with external audio sources and Facebook Live over iPhone.

Q: 6. Can you use other, better lav mics with this system? If so any recommendations?

A: Yes, you can use different lavalier microphones with the Saramonic UwMic9 wireless transmitter. The transmitter uses a 3.5mm locking connector and can be used with any of the lavalier microphones that are compatible with Sennheiser wireless transmitters since the wiring for Saramonic is the same. Please note that Sony wireless microphones use the same locking connector, but the wiring is different so Sony mics are not compatible. A few examples of compatible mics are the Sennheiser ME 2-II Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone (B&H# SEME2II), Countryman B3 Omni Lavalier Mic, Standard Sens, with 3.5mm Locking Connector for Sennheiser Wireless Transmitters (B&H# COB3W4BSR), Tram TR50 - Omnidirectional Lavalier Condenser Microphone (B&H# TRTR50BSETP), Countryman EMW Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone with Flat Frequency Response for Sennheiser Transmitters (B&H# COMEMWFBSR), and Point Source Audio Series8 CO-8WL Omnidirectional Waterproof Lavalier Microphone (B&H# POCO8WLXSEBE).

Q: 10. Will the DJI OM4 work correctly with this mic attached to an iPhone 12 Pro?

A: The DJI OM4 is designed to hold the smartphone only and there could be issues with balance when trying to use the iPhone with the wireless receiver attached. Our video specialists suggest using a different gimbal that will support the weight of the phone with the receiver attached, such as the Zhiyun-Tech CRANE-M2 3-Axis Handheld Gimbal Stabilizer (B&H # ZHCRANM2). Please contact our video department by phone or through live chat if you would like assistance with the gimbals that are available.
