The black Bubblebee Industries Lav Concealer for Countryman B3 is for mounting the Countryman B3 lavalier microphone (available separately) on the body and inside clothing or costumes. This soft, pliable rubber mount can be used to affix the mic to surfaces while also acting as a shockmount and protecting the microphone capsule from vibrations and friction—making for better sound recordings. In addition, the Lav Concealer for Countryman B3 includes a metal clothing clip, a wire fabric guard, an extreme wire fabric guard for course fabrics, and six pieces of hypoallergenic Lav Concealer Tape.

Keeps material away from the B3 capsule in tight spaces under or in clothing, protecting the mic from friction noise and vibrations.

Uses a molded rubber compound made for vibration and friction absorption.

Available in a matte black or a matte white finish. The matte finish is non-reflective for discrete hiding.

The removable wire fabric guard keeps fabric from touching the capsule. The combination of wire and rubber materials act as excellent friction absorption, cutting any transmission of friction to the mic capsule.

Also included is the Extreme Fabric Guard. It moves the point of contact between the fabric and the guard to a more central position over the body of the Lav Concealer . This can be used when the subject is wearing clothing made from a particularly coarse or noisy material. Both fabric guards can be used together in lieu of the clothing clip.

The versatile design provides many options for mounting the Countryman B3 on talent easily, effectively, and professionally—many times and under high pressure on sets.

The Lav Concealer is made from 100% natural rubber, which is biodegradable and kind to the environment. The black and white versions don't use any harmful chemical compounds to achieve the coloring.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Is there a fluffy/wind protection designed to attach to this to further decrease the chance of wind noise?

A: Because the Bubblebee Industries Lav Concealer for Sanken COS-11 covers the capsule of the Sanken COS-11 in its entirety, other than the small opening at the top, there is not a wind protection accessory designed specifically for pairing with the Lav Concealer. In theory you could affix the Bubblebee Industries Invisible Lav Fur Covers (BH #BUBBIILCF30) over the capsule for added wind protection as desired: https://bhpho.to/3P7sFAe

Q: 2. Does this help to reduce rustling noise?

A: Yes this will help by acting as a shockmount keeping the microphone in place helping against vibrations that would cause noise.

Q: 3. Will this work with the microphone that comes with the Tentacle Track E?

A: It won't be an exact fit, but the lavalier that comes with the Tentacle Track E would work with the Bubblebee Industries Lav Concealer for Sennheiser ME 2 (Black).

Q: 4. Will this fit the sony utx-B03 lapel mic?

A: Thank you for your question. Due to the size of the Sony lavaliere mic capsule, you are unable to use this item to mount the mic. I suggest the BH# BUBBIILC30

Q: 5. Will this fit the Tascam Pro lav?

A: The Bubblebee Industries Lav Concealer for W.Lav Micro would not be appropriate for the Tascam TM-10LB Lavalier; the Bubblebee Industries Lav Concealer Mic Mount for Sennheiser ME 2 (BH #BUBBILCME2BK) should be used instead.

Q: 6. Will this work with tascam DR 10 L ?

A: Yes. This will work with the DR-10L

Q: 7. Will this fit Sennheiser MKE Essential microphone?

A: Yes, the MKE Essential is the same size as the MKE 2.

Q: 8. Will this work for the ECM-V1BMP that's included with the Sony UTX-B40?

A: Bubblebee Industries Lav Concealer for Sony ECM-77 is designed specifically for the ECM-77 model lavalier. In this case, the ECM-V1BMP has a slightly different form factor and will likely not work with this Bubblebee product.

Q: 9. Will this work with the Sennheiser MKE-2 EW Gold lac?

A: Yes, this Bubblebee Industries Lav Concealer is compatible for use with the MKE-2 EW Gold lavalier microphone.

Q: 10. Can the DPA 6060 lav fit in the MKE-2 concealer? If the 6060 is too small, can fabric or tape help?

A: No. This particular Bubblebee Industries Lav Concealer is specifically designed for use with the Sennheiser MKE-2. There is a different Bubblebee Industries Lav Concealer that is specifically designed for use with the DPA 6060, which is B&H # BUBBILC6060B.

[0.01 lb] Love this concealer, I wish more of bubblebee's concealers had the bottom guard as well. It does a great job at eliminating fabric noise, even with rough canvas. 5

[Molded Rubber] I'm a camera operator that often records interview sound and I was having a very challenging time getting clean audio with my standard lav mic and clip holder. I ordered this item in hopes of eliminating clothes rustling. I used it this weekend for the time and I was very pleased with how everything turned out. I did about 12 interviews over 2 days, with a bunch of amateur athletes and I did not notice any rustling sound whatsoever. Before this lav concealer, I used the rycote circle sticky things, and I do like those still, but this Bubblebee concealer is way easier to take off, put on new tape, and stick on the next interviewee in a fast paced environment. Now that i know it works I'm ordering one more black one for my second mic, and a white one for special occasions. 5

[1] best sticky i've used. very sticky. 5

[1] I interviewed someone while playing pickleball. Not a scratch could be heard. Mic'ing talent and never seeing the mic clip is a game changer. Mic your talent with t-shirts and even no shirts... with no issues. 5

[Molded Rubber] They get sticky over time when I use adhesive tape. So I clean them with water and goo remover. Works well. The mic fit is snug. 5

[0.01 lb] Throw away your ugly microphone clips. Bubblebee's lav concealer will hide the microphone from view resulting in a more pleasing shot. If done properly, you shouldn't ever get noise from rubbing fabric. Game changer! I own two - one for each lavaliere that I own. 5

[Molded Rubber] I have been anxiously awaiting the arrival of these for use in our livestream broadcasts. We have been using a headset worn mic, but there are times when the talent do not want to wear a mic on their ear, or it is just better to not see the mic at all. The ability to conceal our Countryman B6 mics inside the collar or under the neck line of a shirt or blouse is fantastic. Initial tests are great and I cannot wait to expand their use. 5

[1] I recently bought two of these for my Countryman B3 lavalier mic (I needed one, but at $17 I thought I might just as well get a spare right away). I'm using the Countryman B3 mic with a Tentacle Sync Track-E audio recorder, which only allows for monitoring during recording via Bluetooth using the Tentacle app, and that entails serious lag that would be too distracting for me because this is part of my setup as a solo shooter, doing both video and sound and conducting interviews myself. The Tentacle Track-E is simple to operate once you get the hang of it, and not having to deal with wireless issues is a plus for a solo operator. But the lack of live monitoring means not knowing if sound from the lavalier is being affected by rustling caused by friction against clothing, which is not a good to discover in post (even if Davinci Resolve's Voice Isolation effect can now help with that quite a bit...) During my most recent shoot I was able to use this Bubblebee Lav Concealer and not only did it aid in placing the lav on my subject (inside his T-shirt to keep it concealed), but also in preventing all rustling sounds. The subject was an artist working on a big canvas on the floor, so he was moving around quite a bit. The concealer comes with a clip, a fabric guard, an extreme wire fabric guard for course fabrics, and six pieces of hypoallergenic Lav Concealer Tape, which I have yet to try. Do keep in mind that this concealer is made specifically for the Countryman B3, which has a tiny capsule, so don't assume this will work with any other lavalier mic. I'm glad I bought this accessory and will not use the Countryman B3 again without it! 5

[0.01 lb] These have come as revelation to me. After doing a few dozen interviews with lavs over the years, mostly at an amateur level, I've recently been getting more commercial video jobs. These are so useful, they really cut down on unwanted noise and the supplied fabric tape works perfectly. But do be ready to to fiddle with it a bit. The countryman B6 is so ridiculously small (which is mostly good a thing) that working it into this lav concealer can be a pain. I recommend some good plastic tweezers. 5

[Molded Rubber] We bought these to hide the mic better on our guest speakers. There was a little concern that we would lose some performance on the microphone, but we have not experienced that. These were on backorder, but they were worth the wait! 5
