The tan Countryman B3 Omni Lavalier Mic, TA3F Connector, Tanfrom Countryman B3 Omni Lavalier Mic, TA3F Connector, Tanis 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 TA3F connector for direct connection to B60 Audix 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: 1. My friend gave me his but neither him or I know if it has to have a specific program to work, does it? And can I just plug it in and will it work for iPhone 6plus voice memo?

A: It will need an adapter from Rode to convert it to work with the iPhone. I have found this to be a very good mic.

Q: 2. How do I record sound with this mic?

A: Hi,, good question. You see that tiny end there... you would buy the appropriate cord in the length you want to fit the input you choose. The wireless systems do different ends. Probably with a high-end product many opt for a wireless unit. Also, you need phantom power since it has no battery to boost the signal. All that is normal for quality audio. I have a plug in unit that supplies phantom power and I have a battery unit which was $20 I think. Yes, it seems like a lot to worry about. Those wireless units do it all in one. A mic like this can have an xlr end. They make it so you buy the end you want to have for this mic. In my case I have the phantom power in my sony recorder, too. The way to sync camera (poor) audio and recorder audio is with a program such as Red Giant Plural Eyes; that is worth owning. Hope this helped. Good audio to a must. No one wants to listen to poor audio. in school they taught us that audio is the one attribute that must be good or else...

Q: 7. Rode Lavalier Microphone for canon 6d?

Q: 10. Has anyone tried hiding this mic in clothing so you can't see it? Is it a good option for doing interviews in loud locations?

A: The Shure UL4 UniPlex Cardioid Subminiature Lavalier Microphone can be used under clothing with a rubber mount like the LMC Sound CMTBK C Mount Universal Lavalier Mount (B&H # LMCMTBK) or the LMC Sound CMTVPRBK C Mount Vampire Clip Universal Lavalier Mount (B&H # LMCMTVPRBK) which has a dual-pin back. The mic can also be mounted and isolated with soft foam pads like the Viviana Pads Soft Foam Mounts for Lavalier Microphones - 12-Pack, Black (B&H # VIVPB12P), which can also be used to secure the rubber mount to clothing or skin. To prevent additional noise from cable friction, you can use the Bubblebee Industries Rubber Lavalier Cable Savers - 4-Pack (B&H # BUBBILCS4BL). The mic's cardioid pickup pattern will help to reduce background noise.
