Countryman Lavalier Microphone

[0.005 lb] 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!

[Brown] Sennheiser ME 2 Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone is one of my favorite microphone that caches the sound of my acoustic musical instruments while I play and sing. I don't have to use two microphones while interviewing someone.

[1x Proprietary] Faced with the possibility of having to replace the entire Countryman microphone, we instead ordered the snap -on replacement cable from B&H. We were excited as to how easy & perfectly it worked.

[Light Beige] My Countryman E6 microphone was purchased for use with a Shure wireless belt transmitter. I bought this repacement Countryman cable so I could use it with a Sennheiser transmitter. It works just as it's supposed to.

[Tan/Beige] Countryman makes a great microphone. I have had 12 microphones in operation for over 3 years and I have had to replace one unit after all this time. What makes this great is I did not have to replace the whole microphone, I just replaced the cable and it works like new.

[Black] I purchased this microphone and the Countryman battery powered module to use for amplifying UDU drums. It exceeded my expectations!! Excellent microphone for this purpose and for amplifying Native American flutes. Can't wait to try it on the silver flute and saxophone. If you want a Microphone to use inside of UDU drums where you need to amplify the sounds they produce yet reject the heavy compression created inside of drums this is the microphone for you!

My pastor has use a Countryman microphone for 5 years. We opted to purchase a new microphone when we upgraded to the Sennheiser instead of puchasing an adapter. The cord is more durable than the one we had and the sound quality is excellent. It is easy to fit to any ear. We are looking forward to many years of use as we have come to expect from Countryman products.

[Omnidirectional] Except for the awful pop screen which is waaay too easy to lose,this is an exceptional microphone for the price.I highly recommend seeking out other pop screens for this double ended lavalier microphone - which u will need 2 of...Otherwise,I have no complaints.Sound quality compares to that of much higher priced Rode lavalier microphones,which also stop working properly a little after 6 months..I haven't had that much time to test the Sony mic,but it will get plenty of testing.I do outdoor wildlife recordings in all kinds of weather conditions and this mic works very well,though it does require other pop screens..

[End Address] I am glad that I purchased the Sennheiser MZW102 windscreen for my MKE2 gold lavalier microphone. You will not hear and pops or scratching noises when you use this windscreen. I highly recommend it for older MKE2 gold lavalier microphones.
